Kind of amazing video, separatists in the Ukraine start a WWII tank
right on the monument where it sat for very many years.

Dey build 'em robust in old country.

In Mudder Russia?

What was that thing, a 12-cylinder hitting on about 4?

I suspect they didn't install a new battery, check the oil level,
then just jump in and turn the key. (It is a Josef Stalin tank,
probably end of the war or immediately after wars.)

And yes, in Mudder Russia, they built them robust. As the joke
went "Soviet Technology is like Mickey Mouse Watch. You drop it, it
stops running, you pick it up, shake it, and it starts running again."
