What does it take to fix Russia’s infamous potholes? Apparently, just a handful of foreign fans.

To locals, the giant pothole in Nizhny Novgorod must have been a daily nuisance. But for two male fans from Croatia the giant hole was a great photo opportunity. 

Not to be outdone, four Argentinian fans then staged their own photo-op in the pothole.

Probably fearing a deluge of foreigners, only a day later the pothole had been freshly paved.

“Possibly, to solve Russia’s road problem, we only need to put a foreigner in every pothole,” the Lentach Telegram channel proposed. Hear that?
