I am stunned about the stupidity of these “watchers” and the patience of the russian friends here who try to explain the situation….

that’s it when you see the world with prejudices and square eyes because of too many tv!

Go out! See the world! You will learn a lot and your eyes will open!

Isn’t it incredible how Americans have been so brainwashed by their government which terrorizes its own people by preying on their ignorance, reinforced by an entertainment industry that churns out fantastical tales that Americans have tremendous difficulty discerning from reality? It’s incredible. This is a bus making a turn on a busy street…! Not some terrorist hostage drama. Wow.

I see little evidence, but my guess is that there was a VIP in transit and the bus (along with other cars) was blocking traffic to clear an opening. I do not know the area but this type of operation is very common and often bus is used to block many lanes. There appears to be government building nearby? Bus can not be turning since it is totally in wrong position and off axis of side road.

Also, If you look you can see a couple of groups of cars that could be motorcade of VIP. Not sure if correct, but this is another fun mystery for someone with more time and familiarity with area.

Since when do traffic patterns make any sense at all? Unless there was a massive explosion(or at least a healthy fire surrounded by police cars), nothing about this really raises an eyebrow. In my hometown, there’s a produce distributor that has its loading bays less than 100 ft from a six lane highway. That means any time an eighteen-wheeler needs to back in, the whole highway basically has to come to a stop… at least until someone decides to use a semi trailer to turn their car into a convertible.

There is nothing unussual here in this picture!
U-turn.And the long veicle just wants to turn from Sadovoe Koltso (Garden Circle) to Prospect Mira (Peace street). Now it should occupide one of three right lines and than turn to the right.

A u-turn in Moscow is OK an a freeway, on a bridge, in a tunnel, in the subway and anywhere you can manage it as long as there are no cops
P.S. That really was a u-turn several years ago (when the shot was taken) – not sure about what’s now there. I think it’s closed nowadays.
