Russian Highway

This Russian Federal Highway running from Moscow to Yakutsk in Siberia does not have an asphalt surface. When it rains, the dirt road becomes paralyzed as hundreds of vehicles become stuck in the mud. During one incident, over 600 vehicles were stranded for days without food or fuel as construction teams were too afraid to help due to previous assaults. Supplies like fuel, food, and tow lines are desperately needed on this vital highway each time it rains.

A

Russian
Highway
• This Russian Federal Highway runs from Moscow to Yakutsk
City in Siberia.

• The road doesn’t have an asphalt surface, although it is a


vital highway.

• Every time it rains the road is paralyzed. These shots were


taken a few days before approximately 600 vehicles
became stuck there. Hunger followed, and vehicles ran out
of fuel. According to the witnesses, one woman gave a
birth to a child whilst trapped on a public bus.

• Construction teams were afraid to appear on site because,


during their previous visit, they were beaten by people who
had been stuck in the jam for several days. People were
breaking the locks on the trucks in search of food and warm
clothing.

• Fuel, food, firearms and steel tow-lines are the things that
are needed most these days on this Federal Highway. Oh,
and patience!!!
So, the next time you’re
about

to whinge about conditions


in

your home country, think of


the

Russians!
