We stayed in Minsk for 2 weeks, right in the centre in an old prison camp, 20ft walls with razor wire on the top, locked in, for our own safety, police escort everywhere we went.
Outside of the cities petrol stations were 8x8 ex military Zils (pays yer $$ you got fuel) always next to the Zil was a guy sat on a box selling rocket fuel Vodka in 1/2 pint glasses, that was their idea of a motorway service station, 9 out of 10 times a police car would be parked drinking vodka also, also wanting $$ to allow us to go
Watching one of your clip's Kev i then stumbled across these 'MAD TV' Clip's. Well funny, but maybe some people on here might find it Shed material. Its not restricted on Youtube though so should be cool!
