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.

In our recent publications we told about how Russia celebrates the day of Russian airborne troops, called "VDV day", when some of drunk paratroopers swim in the fountains and sometimes can even beat people. So happened in Lipetsk city, when the big group of celebratings came to the central market. Thought they didn't discover any

Azerbaijan owners of the counters, they started to smash up all the watermelons. Following this incident, the victims became Russian saleswomen, which now have to pay large compensation for the spoilt goods. And what's about the police, they simply didn't prevent the lawbreakers from the rampage.

The Celebration of Russian Airborne Troops 1

Categories Culture, Photos, Society

On the 2nd of August Russia celebrates the day of Russian airborne troops. It's called "VDV day". VDV is abbreviation of vozdushno-desantnie voiska (airborne troops in Russian). During that celebration all paratroopers put on their uniform or striped vests, gather in public places (In Moscow, for example, in Gorky park), drink much alcohol and traditionally swim in the fountains (where

swimming is traditionally forbidden) and shout "for VDV!!!". Sometimes drunk troopers can get into confrontation with militia or security guards and also beat people from the south countries of the Commonwealth of Independent States or just those people who haven't served in the army. On the pictures below one can see the VDV celebration nowadays.

It may seem strange, but this powerful military prime mover has fallen a victim to Russian roads. The driver tried to turn round his vehicle but, because of large size, it firmly got

stuck in mud near the motorway. The militaries tried too pull it out with another prime mover but unfortunately there was no result. It's destiny is still unknown.
