Salsa? Brasil?
Sorry. Salsa is a spanish word (not Brasilian/portuguese) for sauce, i.e., hot sauce.
Salsa dancing and music are caribbean, predominately Cuban.

That page is A-grade rubbish. That "main highway" to Yakutsk is many thousands of miles from the industrial world in remote Siberia. There has never been a proper road all the way because much of the terrain defies road construction - too marshy etc. All you can see from those photos is that someone had the bright idea to clear a trackway through the forest (which would serve for travel by tanks and large civil engineering vehicles). But then various ignorant people took a chance on driving their bog-standard, or more to the point, non-bog-standard cars along that treacherous route, with predictable consequences. Nothing to do with the general standard of RF roads (not that they're that much better, to be sure).
