Russian roads

Translation of the inscription on the picture:  if you want  to win this country before you should arrive at it.


In fact, most of the roads in Russia is not so terrible. Most likely it is a road in the north of Russia, where they are usually absent - because a terrible climate, incredibly vast distances and few people. Or in rural areas, where poor budget and also a few people in large areas (see video).



There is a saying: Russian names expensive the place where going to pass.
And so for these roads require special machines, which I will talk at another time.

Russian women


The great Russian poet Nekrasov in his poem "Jack Frost" wrote about Russian women:  "There are women in the Russian villages" who "stop galloping horse, burning hut !"
