Many Russians appear to be absolutely raving lunatics. In one of the cars on ice youtube specials you see them one after another turning a corner to go down a hill and pile up. They just keep doing the same thing over and over.
I’ve wondered the same about Russian behavior. Could it have to do with being under the thumb of crooked elitist communists where justice (or lack of) is dealt out with absolute violence?
Think of it, Stalin murdered practically the entire officer corp of his own Army, then many civilians. He starved Ukrainians to death. Kids were taught to spy on parents. Political commissars were everywhere. Rationing was common place even in the best of times.
I’d say the level of violence, crookedness and gangsterism is just a carry over from their commie days and thus built right into their current culture because of it. They simply know of no other way to treat fellow human beings.
All of the above is what we have to look forward to if little darlings like AOC get full control of the government. When the AOC’s are in full power, the Pelosi’s, Clinton’s and obama’s will look like angels.
And they think WE AMERICANS are crazy!..............

I’ll watch Russian car crashes on YouTube occasionally. Russians are crazy drivers. I used to think it was the vodka. But no, they’re just crazy. Also...Russian pedestrian accident videos.. Apparently, pedestrians think crosswalks offer significant protection. Unfortunately, drivers consider crosswalks to be target rich environments. Literally, some truly horrible accidents.

Saw the same thing here in PA not too long ago. Hundreds of cars piled up and some stuck for days. When ice is just the right wetness, you’ll fly faster downhill than on rolling tires.
Has happened to me during freezing rain. I was going maybe 2mph after a stop sign and just start flying downhill. Brakes and wheel absolutely useless. I ended up reaching 30-40mph with wheels locked and braced for impact into a ditch. Luckily I hit a patch of gravel and suddenly came to a halt maybe 2 feet from the ditch.
I’ve driven countless miles through snow, offroad on mud/rocks and never had an accident. Hell, I’ve drifted through snow and mud. But this 1/8” of wet ice almost got me from a near standing start
