that video was taken somewhere in europe, not in russia, but when i was in russia, the local requirement was to have winter shoes as of Oct 1 until March 31, or something like that... that much snow is normal on the side streets in moscow and just about anywhere outside of city limits (I had a 41 km radius restriction from kremlin, so i could not venture too deep into a countryside). I never had a chance to try out the 20" summer tires in that snow, but the 18" winter setup in style 74 with pirelli scorpions was doing fine...
on the other hand, about 20-25 years ago, when i was in mutha russia, i had a chance to witness a 6x6 with inflatable/deflatable tires (with an individual airpump) personnel truck venture off road into a 6 foot deep snow... The snow was to the window rim on a huge military truck and I thought for sure we were gonna get stuck there until the spring in late May, where our frozen bodies, mine and the driver, would have been found, hugging each other... The dude dropped the air pressure in the tires, and was making the donuts in that deep snow with a huge truck... back then they did not have video equipment to record this for the history, so it is reflected just in my memory... lol...
