Russia isn't actually a 3rd world country.

That's when it was the USSR. They have access to more things than we do now.

That 140 is tracking straighter than I can with two rolling front wheels and functioning steering.

Yeah, that's really amazing. I wonder if he was able to really steer that thing.

That didn't sound like Russian to me.

I was guessing French.

I think you're right. The audio isn't very good. It sounded like Russian at first, almost like the guy was yelling davai, davai. But I turned it up and the guy is actually yelling, arret, arret, which means stop in French.
