What do you do when a car breaks through the ice and gets completely immersed on a big lake? You call the National Guard or whatever this institution is called in your country to bring out the big guns a.k.a. cranes and huge sleds and whatnot. Well, when a Honda CR-V fell through the ice on Lake Baikal, these brave men did quite the opposite and pulled it out with pure muscle power. It's also a nice reminder of what decades of having to suffer through the hardships of communism can do to a society. In an economy that was unable to provide bitterly needed products for their people, they had to help each out, no matter what. I cringe when I think about what people would do if this would happen in Germany. I expect a lot of pointed fingers, cellphones shooting videos in portrait mode, and YouFace posts full of Schadenfreude.
Anyway, watch and admire their no-nonsense workmanship!
