Well, OK, Subaru also passes you in the United States, and would probably pass you in Japan and Europe as well. And any other places on earth where slippery roads and overly-aggressive drivers exist, so yeah – pretty much anywhere and everywhere. There really is no Soviet-style humorous reversal here. YOU pass Subaru? No, that’s not happening. The point is the Subaru is passing. You. It is passing you. In Russia. Not Soviet Russia. SOVIET Russia really was just one part of the Soviet Union, and as far as I know they didn’t have Subarus anyways. And if I’m being completely truthful, the Subaru in Russia (again, not even Soviet Russia) isn’t passing YOU at all. It’s passing some unnamed (presumably) Russian driver just minding his own Russian business on a lonely stretch of Russian highway. In Post-Soviet Russia, Subaru Passes Someone! Catchy, isn’t it? All of which is to say that I apologize for the completely off-target and misleading headline.

Hi Uncle Pete!
^what he said.
Although my neighbours often poke fun at me, this is where practicing all that bullshit hand-braking and driving sideways can come in handy!
Too bad the ones who need to, will never read/see this.
I do admire the driver's willingness to potentially kill/maim one or more person,
and then risk another pass at what seemed to be a bad time to do so.
Goof.
And he learned absolutely nothing from it, and continued to drive like an idiot. I wouldn't mind if he wasn't likely to take someone else's car out with him once his luck runs out.
That's what I thought at first, but it was probably the safest thing to do after whatever caused his first bonehead move. Braking hard probably would've slammed him/her/it into that car ahead of him that was braking for the car in front of them.
The video is HUGE, and it will probably draw more popular attention to Russian dashcam videos. I saw it on Jimmy Kimmel Live last night.
Eh, it looked about the same size as all other youtube videos do. Maybe there's something wrong with your computer.
HA HA HA HA!
Saw this last night and didn't really know if I was supposed to be impressed – or just the ordinary wtf-ed.
I thought Putin would drive something more, eh, GAZ.
Putin drives what Putin wants. Do not question the Putin.

They all would be a lot safer if he would stop Russian on the slick roads.
They are Putin everyone else at risk!
If I had one thing to say to the Russian populace, it would be "Ural terrible drivers"
Well they have a Lada problems in the driver education system.
I think it's just be-Caucasus he's a little overconfident in his AWD system.
I guess they Cossacks-idents everywhere
I VAZ hoping there would be ZILLions of puns!
Quit Stalin and get to the point!
Other drivers Moscow-er at the sight of his driving.
Agreed, let's not Minsk words. (Next door to Russia is good enough for puns, yeah?)
I applaud your restraint — I'd expect a lot of people's reactions to this would be rather more Volga.
What a yobbo.
Sorry, had to. For Jezza.

He did what this (not named) Italian soccer player was trying to do.
Only that this dude didn't succeed.
