'What's going on? I just saw a load of tanks!' Vlogger pranks Russians on Victory Day

Ahead of the World Cup, comedian and vlogger Alex Lynch takes to the streets of Russian city Yekaterinburg on Victory Day to test local residents on their English ability.

When not being moved on by the authorities or challenged by locals, Lynch finds that although most locals seem to know what Victory Day is, they have serious trouble communicating what it means in English.

They're not helped by Lynch's funny, deadpan interrogation techniques.

At what point he sees a parade of armoured vehicles and, in mock alarm, says: "What's going on? I just saw a load of tanks!"

Lynch later concludes: ‘’I guess most people I talked to did a good job although some failed. I will keep this language training with citizens of Yekaterinburg so they know how to answer my questions.

‘’World Cup 2018 is coming and you must be able to speak English.’’

May 9 is Victory Day, a holiday that commemorates the surrender of Nazi Germany in 1945.
