Hi motobelka. I want to spend a lot of time in Russian and eventually cross over to the Russian Far East via Yakutsk and up to Perek then 180 east. In your opinion is it permitted for a foreigner to travel in those regions now?
If I do this it would be in a Zil truck in winter on the Zimnik's but I will need to find a second truck to travel with I think.
My Russian is very rusty so I will spend 3 month's at language school in St. Petersburg to get it back up to speed!
