There’s certainly no shortage of videos showing various Lada models drowning, failing and breaking into pieces on the interwebs, but guess what; sometimes Russia’s most famous brand proves its strengths – or at least it seems that way…

The following video clip brings us to Minsk, the capital and largest city of Belarus, where the driver of what looks like a full-size Japanese SUV was trying to pull out an old Lada Samara hatchback, possibly, but not surely (it’s too far away to tell), using a winch.

Let’s just say that the SUV hit a curb and the hauling didn’t go quite as the driver had planned.
