I have just got back from Volgograd, currently in Moscow and I am getting some shocked faces when I tell people about my next big plan. I'm here because I was wondering if anyone might be able to tell me more about getting there. I've seen rumours and pages floating around on the net about a railroad opening up to there in 2013. Is this really true, and does anyone know any specifics? For example could I take the Trans-Siberian from St. Petersburg to Yakutsk? On paper I don't want my plan to start until 2013 anyway, so it's all good. Does anybody know how else I could reach Yakutsk via train/taxi in from a major Russian city WITHOUT flying? I hate flying as an experience and find it always ruins a trip. Would really appreciate some advice as I would like to begin working on this plan as soon as I get back to Kiev. Thanks!
