Maybe vodka has a lot to do with it

Which way to the woods?
Maybe oil on the road? Whatever it is there is no excuse not to fix it now for sure.
Doesn't look like oil but maybe s bad road surface.
Edit : just found this
Moscow's icy 'Tunnel of Death' for motorists
The roof leaks and in winter the road freezes

That short video shows me why dash-cameras are so very, very popular in Russia.
I've watched any number of dash-cam YouTube vids, and it's frightening. I am so glad I do not live anywhere near there, nor in a city with that level of population density.
It's scary enough where I live, in a modestly-small city....
Of course, being in a Double-Dare-Red-Red-RED state? Most vehicles are pick-'em ups.
And worse? The owners of these death-on-wheels think they are *safer* in ice and snow...
... yes, it is true-- these pickup drivers think a rear-wheel drive, empty-bed monster drives better on ice and snow than any front wheel drive anything...
I do enjoy pointing and laughing whenever I see pickups stuck in ditches in the winter... of course, I'm not all heathen-- if there are people still inside? I'll report it to the PoPo, just in case they need some assistance.

Poor quality of driving skill?

Which way to the woods?
Ahh HA! Yeah, no excuse .....
I once was driving in freezing rain and saw cars sliding off a crown-shaped road (higher in the middle). I had four studded snow tires (we could do that then) and drove down that road successfully. It pays to be prepared.
Yes on top of ice from the drippy roof
None. Poor driving on ice and possibly and probably a vodka or two yo help keep out the cold is a recipe for an overdose of concrete wall

At one minute into the video, a truck is progressing along in the right lane, when WHAM!! another equally sized truck hits him.....from the right.
I watched it several times. What do y’all think.....does the second truck come through the tunnel wall (perhaps from traffic flowing in the opposite direction in an adjacent tunnel)?
I will watch again.

Someone should fix the leaking roof....I may complain about living here sometimes because of the greed and corruption, but that tunnel would never stay open here until the problem was fixed. Ridiculous!
Agreed

Looks to me like the truck behind tried to avoid the collision by driving up the wall, bounced back into the right rear of the leading truck.

It looked to me that many didn't check before changing lanes.
