This is MKAD, a 109-kilometer Moscow's Ring Road. It has become an informal marker partitioning Moscow from the district. Each exertion has been made to move it toward a parking garage, but it's actually crawling along at an agonizingly slow clip like undefeated rusky soul.
In 1999, more than $10 billion USD from the MKAD development reserves were taken and moved through complex plans by means of seaward shell organizations to Swiss and American financial balances.
Extravagance land, yachts, travel papers and extravagance vehicles were bought in the US, the UK, France and Switzerland. After ten years every one of the charges were dropped for the absence of proof.

Because of this enormous theft that elaborate region of Moscow, authorities of each position, project workers and subcontractors, the width of the MKAD was abbreviated by ten centimeters from each side.
They likewise utilized the least expensive materials accessible that require fixes each year bringing about unending auto collisions and conclusion of paths. Every one of the fixes are finished during the day. As a dependable guideline, 100 meters shut for fixes brings about a ten-kilometer gridlock.
Land nobles fabricate shopping centers along the MKAD enormously expanding measure of traffic, particularly in special seasons. New miniature areas with 22-story loft blocks stuck together fledgling wherever en route sending extra huge number of vehicles each day to join the gridlock.
A couple of paths are taken over by stacked trucks bringing merchandise into Moscow from districts and bringing empty back.
On-ramps are not intended to speed up to enter the roadway at the speed of traffic. Most extreme allowed speed is 40–60 km/hour, while vehicles are cruising along at 110 km/hour on the MKAD. The greater part of the on-ramps enter a path of traffic, not a slip street.
Hence, you are encouraged to arrive at a full stop, trust that thundering trucks will go through and afterward speed up from zero to one hundred ten very quickly. Take a stab at doing it in a Lada around evening time without any streetlamps and heavy storm. You'd cross yourself regardless of whether you're a skeptic.
Clearly this framework makes extra gridlocks before you enter the MKAD. Assets for appropriate roadway slopes were taken as well.
Extra genuine annoyance is leaving the MKAD just after the approaching traffic from the entrance. Indeed, they assembled off-ramps just after on-ramps.
Traffic signals toward the finish of the off-ramps slow down the active traffic for such a long time that up to three paths of traffic are taken over by the vehicles that are wanting to leave the MKAD.
Up to this point, after any minor accident vehicles would stay instead of the mishap hanging tight for the traffic police to figure out administrative work for the insurance agencies, with drivers and travelers strolling about unperturbed via vehicles zooming pass them.
But, the MKAD is obstinately crawling along. For what reason can't every one of those obstinate drivers simply surrender and tap out?
Since rusky soul is unbent. Chingiz khan attempted to smother it. Tsars attempted to douse it. Stalin and Trotskyites attempted to stifle it. Bosses of the Universe with propagandons are attempting to smother it.
Soul is as yet perfectly healthy. As yet shining brilliantly in the corner of winter.
