One Moscow driver took a shot of his car air fliters after 9500 miles ( :) ) of usage. According his words, these pictures clearly show the air quality in the big cities. This

one, on the picture above, is a new air filter from Ford. See the difference. Do the lungs of people after a few months living in Moscow look alike from inside?

The town Kosh-Agach, situated in Altai republic, was founded by Russian merchants in the far 1820 for trading with the Asian countries. It was the last Russian trade putlet on the path to Mongolia and China, and in the 1880s it even became the Part of China for some time. Now it is the biggest settlement of Altai and the driest

inhabited place in Russian Federation. Also it is one of a few places in Russia where people breed camels. Buy the way, most of the population of the town are Kazakhs, so it's not a secret that Russia is a multicultural state. On some pictures you can see the rain - very rare phenomenon for this place.

In our recent publications we've already told, that the first KAMAZ model (Kamsky car factory) was developed by ZIL car factory in the late 70s. Since then KAMAZ trucks have become widely used in the most different fields. For example, it is the most popular truck among common Russian

truckers who deliver loads everyday, and it is not surprising, because KAMAZ is the regular winner of Paris - Dakar European race. Just see it in action. But what's about Russian militaries? They went even further and made KAMAZ fly. See the footage below.
