Volga road trip

Well, it seems I'm writing here again. Amazing. Why? Because I just started reading a very interesting report by a BBC reporter, who is travelling along the Volga River in a Volga car, trying to show how life is in Putin's Russia.

Volga road trip: A Soviet icon
Volga road trip: A dying industry
Volga road trip: Back in the USSR
Volga road trip: Political farce
(I'll add them as they show up)

Apart from the obvious help in understanding Russia, this reminded me of my own road trip across Europe (cheers Danka, Katka, Fred, Žiga and Matevž) and of a warm welcoming in Aizpute, LV, crowned with a nice little trip on a Volga from the 60's (cheers, Jānis)
