The Russkies accept they have poor roads, and few bridges. It rarely seems to disrupt their supply routes though.

Quite a few river-crossings featured in the Kamchatka episodes of Ewan McGregor's "Long Way Round" travelogue

The Stalingrad spirit obviously still exists.

O/T but readers north o' the border may be interested to know that Mhairi Black's diaries are being serialised on BBC Scotlandshire:

Perhaps some kind soul would provide translations for Englanders.

Dear @Joe_P

My apologies, I should have realised that ‘Scots’ or more particularly ‘Parliamo Glasgow’ may not be to your ‘Standard English’ taste.

Therefore, may I direct you to the ‘Herald on Sunday’ where you will find a most eloquent and articulate diary entry written entirely in ‘Standard English’ by none other than Ms Mhairi Black MP herself. –
