I used to watch this back in the day but there were persistent rumours that it was state propaganda of some kind. I don't see how exactly it is meant to work but it's credible that Russia was active on YouTube and social media at the time. Anyone know?
The organizer of these raids is Nashi (means something like Our Own Kind in Russian, not in a racist way, but like our own close-minded people) which was basically a youth wing of the United Russia party. They don't do anything without the purpose of state propaganda.
And also, if you watch them all, you can see that in a number of these videos, the activists are definitely pushing too hard and being assholes themselves when the driver was not really even pushing back and could just move their car easily, just to get rage views.
