These pictures are from the main federal road to Yakutsk in eastern Siberia.
One of the captions says: "The most valuable items around that area are: fuel, food, weapons and towing chains."
Another caption:" Repair crews were not able to reach the road because drivers were severely beating them up."
Another caption: "People were camped out here for more then two weeks, one woman gave birth in a bus."

RedFlare,
Do you read/speak Russian? I had a co-worker who used to be a translater. It's a beautiful language to hear spoken!

I thought that road looked exactly like the one by my place in Stone county, back in the spring of 80 or 81 after the frost went out! We sunk our car so deep that
there was mud up around the engine block. It was like fluffy brown marshmallow creme about two feet thick!
