Good of the lada to be there, just to slow the D4 down a tad before it hit the ditch anyway, or hit the car that was filming.  Shows you even D4 drivers occasionally drive like crazy rookies.
Note nice new Jag getting its nose wiped at 1:10.

The people in the Lada were lucky just to get out of that  Cheers Ian

Just watched the whole thing, I wonder how much vodka consumption was involved. Good fun with the non obvious ones trying to guess what was going on.
Maybe Putin should concentrate on driving standards to help the economy rather than invading countries and stirring up the next Cold War. Craaaaaaaaaaaaaaazy Rooskies.

What is it with Russian drivers? Are they just bad, or is life so grim there, ending it all in a mangled wreck would be a welcome release?

I've watched a few of them now and they do seem either very drunk or just don't give a   It would appear that if you are driving in Russia and you come to a red light you must then accelerate as fast as possible over the junction Cheers Ian

Brakes seem to have no effect on speed in Russia! FFRR 2017 4.4SDV8 Autobiography. Cost so much I must be mad!

D3 HSE 2006 (Almost 8 years together, true love)
Land Cruiser VX 1994 11 years together, wife cried when I p/ex'd for my D3

Fairly obvious that beyond the occasional otherwise, too much speed in such slippy conditions is the cause of so the vast majority of accidents on this video, including the D4 one.
As you say DM
5:30 is truly a shut your eyes moment.
