There are several such sites in Moscow, we visited one of them. We expected to see a kind of cinematic version - many, many dead cars that fall under the press and become a pile of iron to be melted down.

And it doesn’t matter whether you have a job or at least a salary, a holiday requires spending. And what kind!
