These guys literally call themselves that and they are doing God's work!
*Edit* Thanks to Klaus Schmoll I now understand that this group is part of the "Nashi" Youth Movement. After some quick web searches I realize that although people driving on sidewalks are asshats, the Nashi Movement is unsettling. Instead of injecting my own opinion I'd suggest even reading the Wikipedia page below. Also, I recognize Wikipedia is potentially not the best source for information like this, so take it with a grain of salt.

Haha Awesome. I love that they used a sticker that won't easily come off.

This, is what gold is made of. Or... is it the other way around?

Either way, I love how entitled some of those people are and tell the pedestrians to get off the sidewalk.. ffs.

2:10 watching her try to remove the sticker and it comes off in tiny tiny pieces. OH it's so much win. I love it.

As I explained when we discussed this last week, while this is all nice and well, these people are part of the Putin youth. If you want to know more, hit "Nashi" on youtube.

So after some quick googling, a "Youth Movement" effectively under Putin's direction, or at least suggestive personality, is somewhat startling. I enjoyed this video much more before I knew that.
Also, I'm concerned that "Nashi" although a Russian word is phonetically similar to "Nazi", and part of me believes that to be intentional.

I think that the phonetic similarity is pure coincidence. Russian has a few loan words from German, but this isn't one. The rest of it is still a bit frightening though.

It's like shopping at Value Village in larger scale.
