My entire search string for those images is "stuck on Russian road". Note that some photos are winter, while most are what happens during the few weeks winter takes a break. The "roads" through the taiga forest are usually casual suggestions kept mostly clear with chainsaws, and without canopy cover to distribute the water the "roads" muddy up SO FAST. Not sure they have a "dry season" either.
High ground clearance, minimal supplies and repair gear, and several thousand miles of taiga? I really, really hope those guys were allowed to bring like ALL the guns--not just for hunting their own food, but for convincing the (many, many) local 600+ pound brown bears that not ALL food is bear food. At least you can eat a bear if you're hungry enough and a good enough shot, right?
