Since he has a dash cam it must be Russia. Lol. In fact it is St. Petersberg. The traffic sign they pass under says Murmansk Hwy 4.5km.

To my mind the cam guy is not significantly tailgating until the lead guy starts dicking around and I'm not sure there was even any contact. But regardless stopping in a travel lane especially in traffic like this is a really dumbass move.

I guess if you're dumb enough to stop like this you're dumb enough to assume that everybody behind you will stop safely.

Edit: Of course dash cam guy was pretty dumb to open his door without checking behind so I guess there is enough dumb to go all around.

Great find, kp. And it's even way more interesting when looked at in today's context.

There's a new recently made documentary The Soviet Story on Soviet-Nazi ties before and during the WW2, showing some startling evidence on how the two superpowers actually collaborated on many levels during the 40s. There's actual documented proof of how SS troops were being taught by KGB agents, of financial assets going from the USSR to Germany, etc. To those ignorant of the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact: Soviet radio transmitters guided German bombers in their attacks on Poland, a Soviet naval base near Murmansk helped the Nazi attack on Norway, the Soviet secret police helped train the Gestapo and discussed how to deal with the “Jewish question” in occupied Poland.

It's also kind of funny and yet disturbing at the same time that a Kremlin-backed nationalist youth group “Rossiya molodaya“ hanged and burned a doll of the film's author and director on a Moscow street. The police was there, but nobody stopped them, of course
