I found interesting photo gallery here:
no gritters then 
I think that winter can be easy compared to summer:
Travel Ural 2007 - English Russia 
amazing pictures!!! i knew the winter got like that but guess i never gave the sumer any thought (all i knew was the mosquito population increased severly!!)
I am affraid that my idea to go to Siberia this summer for next total solar eclipse with my nissan primera and my frien’s ford scorpio must be rethinked…

probably a good idea!!! i went to russia for the first time last summer, and i dont think i would ever take anything smaller than a truck there, the drivings too bad when they have ‘proper’ roads!!
Great pictures.
There are a few more sections on there, and one section is about the Moscow-St Petersburg ‘Highway of Death’, which is 300 miles ,long and almost all 2 lane.
The most horrifying picture must be this one - a truck coming the other way in the same lane (they drive on the right in Russia)…I don’t like to think what happened next!!! 
Maybe it’s towed backwards?
Of coures it’s being towed backwards!! The bumper is almost touching the road!
Great Pics, makes Ice Road Truckers in Canada look really wimpy!!!
