I can't belive my eyes, BBC showed Russia without stupid propoganda. Clap clap clap.
+Belarusian Partizan What stupid propaganda? Since when is BBC a propaganda channel?
*****
I am serious. I don't think that you can call the BBC a "propaganda channel"? Arguments?
+Belarusian Partizan If BBC is propoganda when what would one call russian media? Implication being that russian media is 1000 times more propoganda than even the worst of western media. With a name like that I suspect that you are just a troll.
+Belarusian Partizan They had the internet in Belarus?
+Belarusian Partizan He's a British spy...
Russia also has A LOT of vodka.
You right, i drink two bottles every day;)
+Nikolay Shut' well we all have to have sensible limits ;)
+landedhoaxer it does...is the biggest threat to russia
+landedhoaxer No more than in other countries. Why do not you have listed Matryoshka and balalaika? 21 century and you think in stereotypes.
+Dimitry 56 Why didn't you listed matryoshka, balalaika and BEARS))) THESE STEREOTYPES ARE FROM the 18 century
This is the first ever positive story BBC has ever done on Russia woo am sure it was a mistake..
Though it's only 94 seconds long.
I guess the reporter is already fired, lol.
"Dumping it's load"
If London got 1% of that snow the whole of the U.K. would be in chaos
Haha but only in London, most high ground areas in Northern England and Scotland get lots of snow every year.
Lewis T I know we’ll have it for weeks then London gets half a day then it’s all over the news
Next is 2%, and all of the U.K. is paralyzed.
I'm no "snowologist", but I'm pretty sure that's how you remove snow from the highway, in more or less any winter country.
That's cool
no propaganda what
a bit of propaganda is needed to keep patriotism and faith in the motherland

Is this new to the British? These machines are used in North America every winter...
+hellowjp , places by the sea have less extreme temperature. The sea bring warmth from the tropics.
+xponen Not so simple. Canada's east coast has the most snow out of all the provinces.
+hellowjp Pah! We have man snow in Britain. It snows, being an island a warm wind rolls in from the sea, the snow melts, and becomes ice, then more snow falls, the same happens, and on and on, couldn't be scooped up like that very easily. Wish we had weather that wasn't fucking depressing. 80% of our annual days are overcast too, wish I lived in Canada ;)
+hellowjp it's not new, but Britain doesn't have much snow it hasn't snowed below Scotland once this year , so on the rare winter that we do have more than 3 inches everything goes tits up because understandably the government doesn't wan't to spend millions buying these machines that may not be used for years at a time, it;s quite funny really.
+hellowjp Well it doesn't snow much there so it wouldn't make much sense to invest in them. Where in North America are you from? I can reassure you when I lived in Louisiana they didn't have any plows there either. I'm originally from New England though where we have many.
one snowflake causes the british to have a mental breakdown ,but others countries are soo productive and relaxed about such things
We only get snow maybe once or twice a year.
XD, one snowflake also causes "sjw" facists to have a mental breakdown
GUESTKID9976 VIDEOS where'd he mention politics? Stick to the video subject or get out.
Relaxed? 15000 pieces of dedicated snow-clearing/removal machinery!!!
Like others here had said, it's a matter of choice of municipal investment. A few years ago I heard that NYC only has about 400 dedicated pieces of machinery to deal with snow. Although I am pretty sure that doesn't include municipal garbage trucks which are equipped with plows and switched to exclusive snow duty for the duration of snow removal. Because in NYC some Winters are very mild - I personally remember a couple with just 3-5 inches for the entire season. But when it snows a lot, you can see that NYC struggles to clean up.
Ash U. It's getting colder? What planet did you come from? So in Russia and in Moscow has ALWAYS been! Several warm winters in a row do not matter. winter temperature is - 15, -20. -25 degrees is the usual thing in our latitudes. Climate in Moscow is CONTINENTAL Annual sum of temperatures up to 50 degrees. From 10 to 28 December 1978, it was -38 and -42 Celsius. Further to the East. the Volga and the Ural mountains the climate is "extreme CONTINENTAL". The sum of temperatures up to 100 degrees. All the talk about" warming " is a lie.
In Canada we make a big mountain of it which becomes all black and dirty, lasting well into the summer before finally melting away
The golden hands machine is awsome.
Well played BBC, well played.
This is what you get when your tax dollars are put to work. Why doesn't every major city that has snow have this?
We do in the U.S in the Northern States...
ray hanes Come to Canada, we do it better than Russians and are the best. We're even nice enough to send our vehicules to northern US states when they get little snow storms.
Wolf
You see my avatar? I wouldn't stay in Canada for more than a week.
ray hanes. Canada doesnt want the likes of you anyways. Empty gun head.
(ray hanes) No one is scared.
good to see they not only plow the snow off the roads but also get rid of the road side snow drifts which can litterally become ice walls if water and freezing temps freeze it
hmm... interesting. That "lorri dumping its load" was something.
"but thats not the end of the story" hahaha, BBC are funny..
“Cleaned throughly”. Yeah. Right...
They also dont use gas heatings in homes normally in moscow. They pump hot water from the power stations out to homes and on its return journey it is still warm and is pumped in pipes upnder road surfaces to melt the snow.
Это неполный репортаж, не показали потом как растопленным снегом иы устраиваем наводнения в европе по секретным подземным трубам
Страдаешь тут только ты,лол))))
That's pretty neat.
1:12 I think we can all relate to this.
Holy cow, your russian pronounciation is unusually good. It's cool to see that you've got the job done to the ed end learned to pronounce those words right, unlike most.
it's Steve Rosenberg i think, he's a rather good journalist and bbc russian analyst..
and plays the piano??
Seems to easy for a person that fall into that. I don't think they heavily salt their roads either
I never experienced snow ever in my life, not even during winter
As a Canadian this makes me laugh my ass off. How do they get rid of ALL THE SNOW??? This quantity of snow should cause chaos!
They should send it to the Caspian Sea so that it doesn’t dry out
It's like this in new england too, you just gotta push that shit back
This brought a tear to the eye 👁 of Bernie during his honeymoon in Moscow.
0:45 That elevator looks like me when I eat pizza 🍕
That's pretty dope
That Golden Hand machine is brilliant! I need that for all my money
It also has a lot of vodka
good lord that truck lowering its box at the end needs to be greased lol
Old video, but fascinating.
Was that the longest FUCKING gear-grind at the end?
In my town we had years ago a loader just like the one shown. Much faster and much more economical than the present use of front end loaders. Also did not close the street of this much
Hahaha they put you on a where does the snow go story in Russia hahaha
why do i get the feeling that mincer is often quite red?
Salt. Lots and lots of salt. Colorado in the US does the same thing.
I love those golden hands. I want to play with one.
1:14 “Dumping its load into a bunker”
Lol
Amazing
0:41 TNO reference?!
I was expecting something more interesting like the snow is compressed into small ice cubes to put into your vodka but then I remembered nobody puts ice on their vodka.
Why do they mix relatively clean snow, with sewage if you're just gonna put it in the river?
in canada we just push the snow off to the side of the road
Ah it goes back to the river
And to think I was expecting some modern marvel of technology.
It is only one day (( special show for BBC ((
wish athens was as snowy as this...
95% sure that Montreal and Toronto do the same thing... When TO has snow that is.
***** TO is +20 degrees right now...
***** And you think that's too cold?!?!?!
***** Pfft. That's shorts weather ffs.
***** Top end of Muskoka for me. Born and raised.
***** ???? Helluva lot better than TO could ever hope to be.
Rip snow
First BBC video that is not Propaganda
They used to just dump it in the river
1:12 really didn't mean to laugh but I did
Livvy Hackett
Feels great to dump a load
Why is it mixed with sewage water before being cleaned?… why not just straight cleaned…
Simply genius. Very cool machine. I would call it the "Snow crab." Flushing the sewer lines with snow. (water)
Good report with only exception of "Cleaned thoroughly". There are thousands of jokes in Russia about how polluted Moscow River is.
Do they salt their roads too?
That golden hand is inefficient as fuck...
Its called Mr Plow
Oh...I thought they would call Putin to stare at the snow until it melts
Russia, I would also say, has a little bit of land. Not much. But just a smidge.
OR Sergei could roll his MiG-29 out the hangar and apply full afterburner
Last year I saw them actually burn the snow;\
They would have these furnaces where they dump the snow into and it evaporates.
clever shit
chaps that's simple: comrade knocks on door. hands bloke a shovel. says, "dig or you vwill be shot."
Ohhh....ok
Now I may die in peace.
They should try and repurpose the snow a make it a viable source of pure drinking water, or atleast turn it ice cubes for all their vodka.
Very cool
He forgot the 4th abundant thing, Vodka
Russia has awesome technology and very nice people.
Yeah, very nice imperialist Invaders.
Nice pun
This is what we should do in the 🇬🇧
Hopefully all the street lights were updated Primal Council Xenothreat to the car bulbs. This buildings are like Intermedix and Transunion couldn't rent anything here. I don't know - watchdogs players can't really do anything to hack these - that's why they best for a progress denial and this could be that sign you can make semiconductors at Molėtai, but not here because you see all of that again on the road A8.
I thought they would make snow cones and eat it
This guy really has the inside scoop.
Dumps its load
The story of the missing snow
In Russia, you do not get rid of snow.
Snow gets rid of you.
I bet you a lot more than snow goes into that shredder... Just saying.
They do it the same way us Canadians do it
Bit of an anti-climax.
Thought they were gona ship it out to countries that 'needed' it
Imagine how many bodies that have been dumped there by criminals.
They use MiG-15 jet engines
i thought that they just spill vodka all over the road to melt it
How depressing.
Russia's number 1 export: ice cubes
Anyone else see the sniper at 0:01? I didnt either till he took a shot
Québec and Russia, the snow bros
I hate winter :((((((
What do you mean? Ww2
if you ever need to get rid of a body in moscow just put it in a snow truck lol
I thought it is some sort of metaphor for Russia warming relations with the west... and then, it's just bbc being amazed with handling car traffic in winter.
So basically it’s the normal water cycle of the earth
I didnt want to see a lorri dumping it load but oh well
I prefer VOA more than BBC
I thought it got turned into soup
Moscow doesn't have to get rid of snow,snow will do the job getting rid of Moscow. lol
awsmmmmmm....
