Mythbuster. Russian Federation
I know that there are a lot of inside out opinions and incorrect facts about RF. I live here and i can tell you the truth about everything here, just ask
For example - there are NO bears on the streets, you only can see bear in the Zoo or circus)

Re: Mythbuster. Russian Federation
is it true that in russia car drives you?
sorry, couldn't resist. actually though do you guys have cadillacs over there? i used to work in an area with a lot of fresh russian immigrants and when they brought in their cadillac for service i would have to break the news to them that they bought a corolla that someone put a cadillac badge on. some even refused to believe me.

Re: Mythbuster. Russian Federation
Sometimes, it looks like unknown force rules the driver)) im talking about crazy idiots on the road, but there a lot of them everywhere)
I never heard that someone bought a Corolla or something else with Cadillac badge here, because only dumbest man cant recognize it)) There are a lot of Escalades, SRX`s and CTS`s in big cities, such as Moscow or Saint-Petersburg. In general, modern models Sometimes you can meet `90s Seville STS and De Ville on the road, really rarely `90s Eldorado And there are few vintage Eldorados and De Villes, mostly at the car shows

Re: Mythbuster. Russian Federation
I was a child during the Cuban missile crisis and vividly recall the culture of hate and fear toward "the Russians." (I honestly thought the hammer and sickle were weapons.) To a little kid, it was a terrifying time. Did ordinary citizens in the USSR feel that way about Americans?
Oh, and isn't it a myth that vodka is made from potatoes? dcb |

Re: Mythbuster. Russian Federation
to dcarrb:
USSR disintegrationed 21 years ago, now i dont know about people in CIS, but in Russia people has no fear about it. Putin and his inner politics scares us a lot Ethyl alcohol is made from grain or grain-potato or potato raw produce, so partly its right But you cant do vodka just picking potato You can made it from ethyl alcohol and water

I recently heard a podcast about a book on Soviet-era Russian consumer product design. It sounded amazing and I keep meaning to order it. To the OP: I would really like to visit your country some day. I hope I get the chance to.

Re: Mythbuster. Russian Federation
For the OP: Is it true that many Russian drivers use GoPro/Dash cameras to record everyday driving? It seems really common lately. What is the reason?

Re: Mythbuster. Russian Federation
To Freeman:
No, but now its popular among social dangerous people to have traumatic gun in Moscow To Mr. Pockets: May-September is the best time to come. PM if you need a support To Mike621 Of course he can About cameras: Yes, its true. I have one) There are three main reasons: 1. Its very good protection of swindlers on the roads, like this guy http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1fNBI7Dw6Gw (watch on 0:47) 2. Its very good protection of unfair cops (the same swindlers, but unpunished) 3. Its a very good evidence in court to defend your innocence (if you`ve catched in 1 or 2)
