At the entrance to the Orenburg Gas Processing Plant there is a descent, about three kilometers long, then turning into a protracted ascent.

Motorists noticed that the car, launched at a neutral speed, contrary to all the laws of physics, does not accelerate downhill, but on the contrary, gradually slows down its run-up. Drivers have nicknamed this place the "dead zone", which, out of harm's way, it is better to overcome as quickly as possible.
