Awesome Russian

What you’re looking at is a 1969 Ural M63 motorcycle. This particular bike sat unused for years, gathering rust on its chassis and drivetrain. But this is exactly the kind of challenge that an expert restorer like Great Idea lives for.

Ukranian folk-rock cover band Sedo i Ludy offers their unique spin on the Bon Jovi track It’s My Life, with a rollicking cover version that combines bluegrass with traditional Russian folk sounds. About halfway through it turns into a Haircut 100 version of the James Bond theme song.

Why wait until 2021 for Tesla to start shipping Cybertrucks, when you can just build your own? That’s what the guys from Russian car-hacking channel Garage 54 did.

If you thought ballets were all about pink tutus and men in tights, then you’re clearly not familiar with the the manly version, in which these massive moving weapons do a little dance of their own.

The Marussia is Russia’s first sports car. Featuring dramatic industrial design, the B1 offers up an ample, if not Earth-shattering 300-hp 3.5-liter V6, and can do 0-to-60 in less than 5 seconds.

Using tons of dirt, Moscow’s Red Square was transformed into a FMX motorcycle track with performances from Nate Adams, Andrè Villa, and other international pros. See them in action here.

This huge insect was made from old cars and bulldozers, and can be found alongside the road in Noyabrsk, Russia. The guy who made it was paying homage to the flying pests in nearby swamps.

It’s official: Ukrainian-developed Metro 2033 has been picked up to THQ; it’s a Russian version of Fallout, albeit with recent technology that’s more on par with Modern Warfare 2.

Debuting today at the Alamo Drafthouse and opening in Russia 10/15, we don’t get a word of this First Squad anime trailer–but what we see rocks: WW2, zombie knights and Nazis.
