Why are there so many videos of interesting random events shot through the windscreens of cars in Russia with radio as the sound? Do Russians just drive around filming through the windscreen (with the radio on) in case something interesting happens?

Yes.
I have heard (not sure of its veracity) of a common/major problem/scam in Russia, where people taking a 'relatively expensive' (ipad, laptop, etc) piece of equipment, and then INTENTIONALLY walking or jumping out into traffic to try to get hit by a car, then claim the equipment was damaged and demand a cash payment from the driver of the car for 'intentionally destroying equipment' (not even necessarily injury!). Effectively I think they're exploiting a legal loophole in russian injury/damage law. Dash-cams are used to prove that the driver was not intentionally hitting said pedestrian.

Edit: its not just that. See http://jalopnik.com/5918159/why-russians-are-obsessed-with-dash+cams

The next time someone claims to have video of a UFO floating around for 5 minutes, I want 18 camera angles of proof.

If we can catch 15 seconds of a rock screaming across the sky at 30km/s, we can catch a goddamn UFO in hover.
