THE BIGGEST RUSSIAN VINE...

 ...I've ever seen: https://www.blipfoto.com/entry/2104711338746973788 has a funky trunk!

I'm sure there must be bigger ones in Russia, or better ones in the US of A.
But reckon this one has nefarious motives - either to bring down the  overhead cable (all we need is a good storm when it's in full leaf) or to undermine the foundations & bring down the house - that might take a little longer!

Not hold breath, hey?
