Are you fascinated by car crashes? Do you slow to a snails pace on the highway hoping to catch a passing glimpse of a bloodied body? Maybe you’ve never been in a car crash (knock on wood) and you’re just curious? Or, are you one of those people who fantasize about car crashes?

You are not alone. It would seem that Cronenberg’s Crash phenomenon may be more prevalent than we think, in Russia anyway. After a video went viral on Buzzfeed showing a dashboard camera’s documentation of a near sideswipe by an out-of-control tractor trailer on a snowy Russian highway, I wondered what compels a driver to put a camera on his dashboard in the first place.

Investigating, I realized that this is not the only Russian car crash dashboard camera video on YouTube. There are in fact, hundreds more. Is there a thrill-seeking Russian Crash subculture that I’m not aware of?

To celebrate the holiday season, here is a selection of the best of the mysterious Russian car crash videos that take place in the winter time. And if you’ve got the scoop about what’s going on here, please let us know.
