Aerial footage. Samara (Russia)

AIRVŪZ STAFF NOTE : AirVuz contributor and pilot VadimUshKa brings us this excellent city from the great Russian city of Samara. Located at the confluence of the Volga and Samara Rivers, Samara was known as Kuybyshev during much of the Soviet period. During World War II, the city served as an alternative capital of sorts while many of the country's central administrative functions were evacuated here during the period when Moscow was under direct German threat. The video was created with a combination of drone and ground camera footage.
