In late 1993, it became necessary to purchase a minivan. The volumes of computers "Dandy," which sold me on the market Yakutsk every day to carry on themselves was too problematic.
the end of January next year, we boarded a plane and flew the machines to Vladivostok. We - it's me, my friend Igor and Sergei distant relative. Money was enough for two cars, so I decided to take one currently, the second on the sale.
From the airport by bus, we drove to the bus station, which is located almost at the entrance to Vladivostok, in the second river, and immediately saw the parking lot with Japanese cars. Nothing worthy of attention was not there, and we started walking toward the center.
Ten minutes later I noticed behind us "tail." Recall that this is the year 1993. In those years, often people leaving for the car disappeared. Often potential buyers, and Vladivostok at the Japanese cars traveled the entire Far East, just took away all the money to hunt down, in which hotel they were staying ...
ahead right at the sidewalk seemed counter to the laid out on his goods, and I said Sergei and Igor, so they stopped near him. Convinced I'm not mistaken about surveillance, we caught a car and drove away in the city center.
morning I bought yesterday prismotrenny Korean 12-seater diesel mikrik Kia Besta , and now we are getting around town on it. Vladivostok - a city of my students, so the card I was not needed.
evening, we went in the cafe, I left the backpack with the documents in the car, but Igor advised of harm's way to take along. In general, the cafe backpack with my passport and documents the car clipped.
Hot on the trail I picked up all local Bogodul (Vladivostok slang), and in half an hour he knew who spoiled our holiday. Aurora - so it is called, immediately disappeared from the area. I was told where he might appear, and we are looking for him all evening until late. So just as he promised to reward me for help, but most of them never seen before. Then I realized where they were lost, because I gave them valuable information - in a backpack was a decent amount of money, and they joined for the feast.
minibus had to put the parking lot while making new documents in the car, and immediately buy another. Ad we found Toyota Master Surf traffic cop at a major, petrol engine, excellent condition, three days as from the Japanese. Now we were back on the wheels.
Aurora I still found. Planted in mikrik, began to catch up to his horror, telling how at the bottom of the Amur Bay crabs ... He just does not cry, told his life story as he worked research institutes, was a research fellow. I apologized and released him from the car. Looks like he just looks like Aurora and I was wrong.
received in gai new documents We left in two vans from Vladivostok. Fortunately, my rights are gone, because Sergey - the driver has one. I went to the Koreans, and Igor sat down at the right wheel Toyota he already had a house right-handed Japanese woman. About two thousand miles to Blagoveshchensk, we were more than successful. It is not even on the road, mostly on this site lay asphalt.
In the nineties slip Primorye, Khabarovsk and Birobidzhan, not giving a bribe racketeers, was a big success. Standing at a cafe or on the side of the machine with the transit number becomes easy prey. Often arranged chase after those who tried to escape. Racketeers shared with GAI officers, and they just stopped at the post you want the car. A friend of mine after that meeting went almost four thousand kilometers from Yakutsk, chewing on half a kilo biscuits and drank water. All the way he had dreamed about only to have enough money for gasoline.
on the maps of those years, the road ended abruptly at Shimonovskom, city, which is about two hundred and seventy miles from Blagoveshchensk. From there the route Neverskoy even seven hundred.
We are fortunate that it was winter. A year later, I learned what a spring thaw on these roads ...
Still, one site required an immense concentration. Between Taldanom and Soloviev b of most of the roads ran in low-lying marshland. Heavy machinery broke the fall rut here, and in this form is frozen dirt. Cars could move only along the top track, and if the car dribbling, then crashed on its belly. To overtake it was impossible to counter, or a passing car, and when on the road going enough physical strength, the drivers raised their hands and put car wheels on the ridges.
at the same location when dark, in the light of headlamps we're somewhere out there is not curtailed. It is clear - no roads, no signs. Middle of the forest we saw some buildings at the entrance of a house light was on. Igor came to know the road back in disbelief. While we were wondering which way to go, there was a motorcyclist. On the street in -30! From him we learned where to go, and that these homes are not entirely healthy people over the head. I do not know how to properly called such establishments. From Solovyovsk until we reached Yakutsk without too much adventure for two days, spend the night in the institutions of cars ... A few months later I flew to Magadan to recover his passport.
