Brutal Car Accident Footage: Russian Woman Plows Into Pedestrians, But Only Cares About Her Dented Fender

What You Should Hate / March 3, 2010

By Team eXiled

This footage–caught on camera–of a gnarly accident in Irkutsk, Russia, shows a Russian woman speeding out of nowhere and plowing into a couple of female pedestrians on the sidewalk like they were bowling pins. The most shocking thing is how no one gives a shit about the seriously-wounded pedestrians. Bystanders walk past the smashed pedestrians as if they’re sidewalk trash, and the driver doesn’t even check on the pedestrians lying a few feet away–the driver’s only worried about the damage to her fender. One of pedestrians was killed, and the other, the dead woman’s sister, has been left paralyzed. But no charges have been filed so far, cuz as it turns out, the driver of the fancy white car turned out to be the 27-year-old daughter of the regional election committee chairwoman.

But these days in Russia, the Internet still remains something of a safe haven for civil society. So thanks to an Internet campaign by outraged Russians, the driver who killed one and maimed another–Anna Shavenkova– is now, two months after hitting them, finally under investigation by local police for vehicular manslaughter.

All in all, a lovely story.

Looks like U-Tube didnt like it either. Now they removed the video…..
So much for the US internet being ” a safe haven for civil society “

First saw it on Fishki.

I’d like to think that it happened so quickly that the people nearby didn’t actually realise that two pedestrians got cleaned up.
Can’t say that I wouldn’t have overlooked mangled bodies in that wreckage. If you’re into grainy death porn, judge for yourself.

Yay, a month old story. Global Voices even has the Barkov accident story translated into English. Why isnt it here, but this is?

Well, fenders are actually very expensive parts to replace; whereas replacing your average Russian Человек is easily accomplished by just taking a short drive thru Forest Hills, NYC.

I can’t believe that she was just upset about her car and never once looked or even attempted to help those people!!
Where are we headed when we won’t even help the people around us.
Are we all crabs in a bucket,climbing over each other in order to obtain that brass ring?
Wow this world needs a good old fashion ass kicking to get our heads screwed on right again.

Some of you hypocrites are “shocked” at the cold hearted Russians?! Have you read some of these pathetic comments from your compassionate caring citizens?
This type of attitude and disregard for human life is what is wrong with this entire world. Some of you would rather be clowns thinking youselves witty instead of being a part of a solution to hate and inhumane acts. You wouldn’t be trying to be so funny if this happened to you or someone you love, if there is such a person for you losers.

Ходил по сети и как-то наткнулся на сайт про Чехию.
Заинтересовало. Почитал.
Фирма в Чехии создается очень быстро. Потом Вы получаете ВНЖ в Чехии, а затем можете сделать виза Чехия. Недвижимость Чехии ликвидная. Курс чешской кроны постоянно меняется. А консульство Чехии предоставит Вам самую полную информацию.
Если кто найдет еще какую-либо интересную информацию – прошу рассказать.

THIS is nothing new in Russia, which is why I don’t deal with Russians anymore.
