Nizhny Tagil is a very tough city. On the roads along with the usual transport you can find battle tanks. And here are several examples.
Last weekend one driver was nearly run over by the tank that was rushing at high speed across the highway.

The history of Nizhny Tagil dates back to 1722 when the ironworks was built by Demidov dynasty. At the time Nizhny Tagil plant was one of the biggest, not only in Russia but also in Europe.
The plant was expanding for three centuries. In 1987, after working for more than 260 years, old blast furnace shop was shut down and Russia’s only plant museum was created. Photos by Vitkaravan
