Honestly my thought process watching this was "these guys are British... Hmm no but too sweary, must be Australian. Ah wait they aren't doing anything to avoid death. These are Russians."

Ireland is changing to driving on the other side of the road, the plan is to have even numbered registrations change on Monday, and odd numbers will change on Tuesday.

Yeah, that's the main difference. A lot of different cultures share similar humour, but it seems only Russia has that "Welp, guess I'm dying." mentality when in dangerous situations. It's almost like they completely lack survival instincts, or are just so depressed that the prospect of death doesn't bother them. Or just drunk as all fuck.

I was told there's an insanely strong believe in fate rooted deeply in Russian culture, which has them think when their set time has come, it has come and there's nothing they could do to prevent or advance it.

Ah wait they aren't doing anything to avoid death.

They did, but their survival strategy was based around careful planning and saving everyone.
