Today's dashboard cam video features an unusual pedestrian crossing the road somewhere in St. Petersburg, Russia.

Daredevils in Magadan, Russia keep themselves entertained with a dangerous pastime, that is, jumping five stories off the rooftop of a building into a heap of snow on the ground.

Starting today, Russian authorities can blacklist and shut down access to websites containing alleged child pornography, as well as extremist, drug-related or otherwise illegal content without a due process. Since its passage in mid-July, the legislation has faced many criticisms for its open-ended implications and a concerted opposition from a coalition of Russian websites.

Another near disaster on a Russian road, which begs two questions:

1. Does every car in Russia have a dashboard camera?
2. Do Russian drivers have the world's quickest reflexes?

It's a puzzling phenomenon, to say the least.
