Scale

One of the major problems is the sheer scale of the country, Russia is the largest country on Earth and would need an astronomic budget to even come close to creating a road network similar to the USA for example. Just take a look at some figures :

The total area of Russia is 17,075,400 square kilometres (6,592,800 sq mi)
The two widest separated points in Russia are about 8,000 km (4,971 mi)
The Russian Federation spans 9 time zones
Russia possesses 10% of the world’s arable land
Russia has an extensive coastline of over 37,000 km (22,991 mi)
Lake Baikal alone contains over one fifth of the world’s fresh surface water
The population of Russia is 141,927,297 as of 1 January 2010

Photographs of Russian roads

There are not just the motorways to consider, any major road infrastructure requires some or all of the following :

independent specialized road engineering design teams tendered from companies around the world
full, generous budgeting allowances from public/private partnership and civil engineering departments
optimum quality material conforming to durability world standards to avoid patching every few years
long term cross political party support, motivation and desire
long term goals to increase revenue to remote parts of Russia
sufficient funds to allow generous camber and drainage systems to be incorporated into areas susceptible to snow and ice build up or heavy rain
a generous government inspired and led compulsory purchase scheme to compensate property owners where dwellings obstruct large scale civil engineering projects.
simple transparent accounting procedures to encourage investors and potential investors to track funds and query unauthorised transfers
consideration of installing cheap road toll systems to finance long stretches of motorway in the long term
method of police control authority with powers to strictly maintain the safety of the road for all users, possibly using speeding cash cameras and heavy fines for transgressors channeled back into the cost of road building and maintenance
regular police patrols and sos points en route to prevent costly pile ups
regular privately tendered motorway service stations with play areas, hotels and restaurants
gradual introduction to other countries in terms of promoting access to hitherto difficult to reach areas in Russia
a one or two generation plan at government level to integrate road and rail networks converging at strategic points across the country
where possible encourage private enterprise to pay for sections of transport, install procedures which enforce new developers to fund the surrounding road networks and amenities for the local community, common in the West

The list goes on and on, at the moment, if my sources are correct, the chain is very simple. Central control of road building projects is in Moscow, a certain amount of money for a motorway network for example, heads out to a city in far East Russia.

Somewhere inbetween sizeable chunks “disappear” and the amount available at the end dwindles so much so that only the poorest of the poorest roads can be built.

Multiply this scenario across Russia, for generation after generation and the result is an enormous problem, the solution of which will take integrity, time , patience and an awful lot of money.

Russia River Cruises – Are They Worth The Money?

Edit Article |

Posted: Feb 04, 2010 |Comments: 0
|

]]>

When one thinks about a European River cruise, regions like the South of France and Germany immediately leap to mind. Rivers like the Seine, Danube, Saone and the Rhine are immensely popular among European travelers. However, one region that has been gaining in popularity lately is Russia, and Volga River cruises have been very much in demand over the past few years.

Russia is a country of great culture, history, tradition and art, and travelers to the region will find no shortage of things to see and do. However, accommodation in Russia does not come cheap. Hotels can be exorbitantly expensive, and finding deals on food and car rentals can be very difficult. It is these high prices that have made Russian river cruises such a popular option for visitors to the country.

A cruise precludes the need to book hotels. Your hotel room is right there with you there whole time. Car rentals are unnecessary as your mode of transportation is also included. Food is also included on your voyage, so again you don’t have to worry about breaking the budget at expensive restaurants.

So, we’ve established that a riverboat tour is definitely an economical way to see Russia, but what will you see on your voyage? Not only will you get a unique view of the beautiful Russian countryside as you sip on a beverage and watch the scenery go lazily by, but you will also get the opportunity to visit some of Russia’s most important historical sites in great cities like Moscow and St. Petersburg. You can explore the wondrous Church of St. Dmitry on the Blood in Uglich, and the magnificent Suyumbike Tower in Kazan is not to be missed.

These are but a few of the highlights you will enjoy, all the while relaxing in luxury aboard your floating hotel. Rest assured that a Russian river cruise is well worth the money you will spend, and you will have a vacation adventure that you will remember throughout your days.

Russia Pre-Marital Background Checks Fight Scams

Edit Article |

Posted: Apr 25, 2010 |

]]>

Investigators See Rise in Pre-Marital Background Checks

Moscow and St. Petersburg private investigators have seen a rise in pre-marital background check investigations throughout the country. This increase in investigation activity, according to investigators, has been driven by an increase in online dating and match-making volume, as well as an increase in awareness of scams and fraud by consumers, especially Western men.

It’s now well known that bridal scams and relationship fraud in Russia is a problem. A Russia background check is increasingly being used as a kind of insurance policy for those seeking to avoid scams and fraud. Private investigators in Russia and the Ukraine state that consumers who seek the services of a professional investigator are making a wise decision due to the high risk in the region. Investigators also state that many clients seek services after the damage has been done, and industry experts suggest getting the background check investigation early is key.

Russia private investigators continue to battle fraud and scams throughout the nation, as fraud ranging from bridal scams to corporate fraud remain high and widespread. In a pre-marital check or background investigation, private investigators can normally verify key factors which overall can determine if the subject is who he or she claims to be. Key points to verify may include address, ID or passport, documentation, employment and education, travel or dating agencies, and more depending on the exact nature of the case. Cases should be customized according to the information available in each case, and investigators themselves should be carefully screened by consumers.

Whether or not consumers decide to use the services of a Russia private detective, it is important to recognize the red flags. These indicators can raise the caution flag, but are not necessarily indicative of fraud. Private investigators advise consumers to be skeptical of money requests, emergencies, relationships “too good to be true”, and subjects who fall in love overnight. Problems with immigration, visa, passport or agencies should be verified.

The global economic recovery is occurring at a slow pace, especially in Russia. As Russian women continue to seek romantic relationships outside of Russia via the Internet, and foreign businesses look for investment opportunities in the Russian market place, investigators will remain in demand.

Best of luck,

There is Still Hope You Can Still Meet The Right Person As You Get Older

Over the course of my life, I have met multiple men in many different ways. Older singles dating lives are more difficult than most people realize. When you are in your teens, meeting other people seems so easy. During your college years, meeting men are as easy as offering a beer. After college, things just go downhill. I’ve tried to find a connection to men and still have come up short on many different occasions. I had almost given up on meeting the right person, especially as I got older.

Study In Russia Scholarships Proffer Apt Financial Assistance to Foreign Students

Russia is indeed the largest nation on the face of this globe with more than a ninth of earth’s land being its own. It shares its borders with fifteen other countries. It is said to be in Eurasia because it extends on both the continents (Europe and Asia).  You will also be amazed to know that it spans across nine time zones. It is the world’s largest energy superpower along with being the world’s largest reserves of energy and mineral resources. Students are making a beeline to study in Russia because of a lot of factors.

The degrees acquired from the top universities in Russia are recognized all over the globe; thus a student passing out from Russian university or college can ply the whole globe in search of an apt vocation. The international standards of teaching in Russian universities and colleges also assist students in specializing to the highest level feasible. The classrooms of Russian universities consist of small group of students which make sure that every student gets individual and special attention. This provides apt evidence to students that Russia proffers an apt atmosphere for learning and edifying purposes.

When it comes to Tuition fee pricing structure; Russian universities and colleges charges much lesser than that in other developed nations like the states. Russian medical universities and colleges are renowned for their international standard teaching and other research facilities. They even feature in the top hundred colleges of the world. Earlier students used to fly off to the states and some countries in Europe for their higher studies. But this trend is witnessing a welcoming change as a large number of Asian and African students are choosing Russia as their study abroad destination. Although there are more than a ton of languages being spoken by Russian populace, one language which is homogenous through out the nation is Russian. Therefore it is highly advisable to learn Russian language before getting admitted into the top universities in Russia. This will help you acclimatize swiftly with the natives.

Another fact is the cultural mix in Russia; you will find more than one hundred and sixty different ethnic groups in Russia. But in modern times, it has largely been influenced by western culture. One should contact Russian embassies in one’s own country and look at his/ her paperwork like Visa, etc. It is also utterly imperative to do a bit of intricate research on the World Wide Web as to the infrastructure, profile, placement opportunities of a specific Russian university or college before plunging into the all important decision of getting admitted into it. The cost of living in Russia varies from USD 325 to 425 which encompass accommodation, food, travel and entertainment.

One can chip in for study in Russia scholarships as there are a large number of institutions proffering financial aids to foreign students. Some of the scholarships are: – AIFS Study Abroad Scholarships, Diversity Fund scholarships, David L. Boren Scholarships, HBCU Fund awards and Benjamin A. Gilman International Scholarships.

Is the standard of driving bad where you live ? Consider driving in Russia..it’s well, different !

Edit Article |

Driving in Russia is a lot worse than Europe and a lot better than China or India, despite its overall poor reputation for quality, consideration and observing the rules of the road, Russian driving is similar to any major city or capital, a generally mad, free for all with the emphasis on getting from A to B as quick as possible and before the car in front.

Having spoken to many Russian citizens on this subject there does seem to be a heavy influence on the road, from the male dominated society, with several women openly admitting that they drive enormous, expensive 4 x 4′s ( often on the insistence of their husbands ), not because they like them, but because they know that if they drive a small, economical hatchback or saloon, they’ll be forced off the road at every opportunity. Unfortunately, after having witnessed these situations many times myself, I understand perfectly.

The “slipping the clutch at the lights”, harassing the pedestrians with a racing engine is very common, unnecessary, unpleasant and unwelcome, but very common nonetheless.

Away from Moscow and St. Petersburg, where the road networks are reasonably well developed, roads in the provincial towns are generally of poor quality, often damaged and repaired using short term measures. Pot holes, sometimes of staggering proportions, are common and for a country with severe weather extremes, a surprisingly poor road camber or drainage system results in flooding and spray in astounding quantities.

Stop signs are reasonably well observed, although pedestrian crossings are another matter. The sheer enormity of painting and re-painting the white road markings throughout Russia during a reasonably short period without snow or rain, means that for a large part of the year pedestrian crossings are either not marked or not visible, or both, however there are signs beside the road indicating a crossing point.

To cross the road in Russia you must walk slowly but confidently and defiantly into the road at a recognised crossing, cars will stop, but only for the minimum time required, as soon as you are out of the firing line the cars will continue. Stand on the roadside, patiently waiting for cars to stop for you, as happens in some European countries, and you’ll stand there all day, the older Russian population are quite adept at walking blindly out in front of cars with their head down and eyes fixed ahead…miraculously there seem to be relatively few accidents. As with the West, there are signal controlled crossings as well, with a generous 80 second crossing time period.

Many cities and towns utilize a subway/underpass system to cross underneath major roads, peppered with boutiques, eateries, phone shops etc…

On the odd occasion there may be a traffic policeman controlling pedestrian crossings, listen and watch for his motion to you to cross, or risk a severe reprimand. Jay-walking ( sauntering across the road at a point other than a recognised crossing ) , though not actually illegal, is not a good idea, given the standard of driving prevalent across Russia.

In Russia you’ll find just about every car imaginable, somewhere, from the basic home grown Lada, through the vast array of import vehicles including stretch Hummers, Lincolns and limousines to the Bentley showrooms not far from Red Square in Moscow, you name it and you can have it, if you can pay. Some models are only available in limited numbers in Asia.

Petrol in Russia is cheap by Western standards, understandably so given their access to the enormous oil and petro-chemical industries, and car washes are to be found on the outskirts of the cities and towns along with the petrol stations.

In Russia the cars drive on the right. To obtain a driving license you must be 18 years old *, in good health** and take a road driving test at a local centre ( pass or fail ) for which a fee is charged. You must take and pass a practical test involving certain common manoeuvres ( 5 mistakes allowed ), and also a multiple choice theory test ( 2 errors accepted )

Upon successfully passing these three tests you will receive your plastic EU style driving license with the categories of vehicles that you are permitted to drive listed. These are :

A : Any type of motorbike
A2 : Similar to European A limited, as A does not limit the specifications of motorbikes. Bikes with engine displacements lower than 50 cc and speeds lower than 50 km/h are considered mopeds, and do not require a license.
B : Vehicle under 3.5 tons
B1 : Tricycles and quadricycles
C : Vehicle over 3.5 tons
D : Bus ( more than 8 passenger seats )
E : Non-motorised vehicle with special connection attachment to the rear of the A, B, C, D category vehicles.

* 16 for motorbikes, 20 for buses and minibuses.
** Medical mental assessment and substance abuse certificates required.

If you can’t, don’t want to or can’t be bothered to take these three tests, then apparently it is still possible to buy your license the old fashioned way, with a contribution to the local police officers favourite charity.

As at 2010 Russia will adopt a zero tolerance drink drive policy, further tightening of existing regulations. Heavy drinking and related traffic accidents are seen as one of the main reasons why one in three Russian men dies before retirement age. The penalties of drink driving are severe, instant confiscation of your driving license, jail overnight if you are incoherent, a hefty fine, possibly a prison sentence and a 2 year driving ban…incentive if ever it were needed to stay stone cold sober.

Fines imposed for minor road offences vary enormously, talk to 10 different people and you’ll get 10 different answers on this subject. Minor offences such as not having your documents 100% in order may attract a fine of only 300 Roubles while one woman that I interviewed complained of receiving a 12,000 Rouble fine for crossing the centre line for 15 metres. Reflecting upon the interviews, it does seem that an attractive young lady in an older car attracts a substantially lower fine than an older woman in an expensive car, for the same offence. Middle aged and young men in flashy or new cars come off worst not surprisingly. There is an official procedure for paying a motoring fine, and involves receiving all the documentation on the spot at the roadside, from the police officer,( Russian paperwork is incredible at the best of times, imagine standing waiting for an hour or more just for the papers ) taking the fine to a police station, queuing, waiting, queuing some more before making payment and getting a stamp on a receipt. Most people who choose this, the correct way, do so out of principle more than a desire to endure the paperwork.

Under Russian law, if there is accidental or deliberate contact with another vehicle, both drivers must stay at the scene until a traffic police unit has attended and taken statements from the parties involved.

In reality there are very few of these special units, sometimes only three cars, with two policemen in each car, to cover the entire region surrounding and including a city. Dozens of drivers have told me that in some cases this shortage of police resources may mean waiting up to 9 hours because of a simple prang with nobody injured. Four and five hour waits are common….regardless of, or if not made longer by the weather conditions at the time. Russian police in the provinces are rarely seen racing full pelt, lights blazing, and sirens blaring to an automobile accident as you would often see in the West.

Russian traffic police authorities are undermanned, suffer from under investment, poor equipment, long hours and in general, poorly paid staff. To understand this more you need to read about the problem of corruption in Russia

Russian police cars are standard, with fairly basic performance, necessitating a sedentary style of policing. The traffic police, working mostly in pairs can be seen most days at strategic points throughout a city, waving down vehicles with a white and black baton. The drivers documents will be checked, a cursory glance over the condition of the vehicle, a look in the boot and, a consideration of whether or not there might be a cause for donating to the traffic police Christmas fund ( needless to say, underpaid and overworked officers regularly look for ways to supplement their income, it happens in every country, the only variation is the method ).

If you’re travelling to Russia as a tourist, stay on the pavements, cross the roads at designated crossing points preferably with other people, disobey the traffic police at your peril…oh, and enjoy your holiday !

Kazan – Russia, the Craddle of Lenin and Tolstoy Filled With Technology, Casinos, and Nightclubs

]]>

You will find Kazan, in west-central Russia not far from Moscow, where the Volga and Kama Rivers converge. Kazan is the capital of the State Tatarstan, in the Russian Federation. The port of Kazan and its shipyards is an important water transportation center for Russia. The University of Kazan is the institution where Lenin and Tolstoy studied. Kazan noted for its monasteries, museums, the Islamic University Medrese, and the Islamic mosques, has one of the tallest mosques in Europe.

Kazan is famous for its Opera and Ballet theaters, and international festivals. In Kazan, tourists find museums and art galleries, parks and casinos and the Kazan Kremlin buildings. In Kazan, tourists can enjoy Art museums, libraries with the latest technology, parks, casinos, river cruises the Hippodrome and the Water Park, which is open year round. Some of the nightclubs offer dining, music, dancing and other entertainment and there are cafes, restaurants, bars and many places to shop.

The Kazan airport is about 30km from the city center and buses, taxis, rental cars or trains are available for transportation to the city. Once in Kazan buses, trams, trolleys and walking are the means of transportation. Everyone traveling to Kazan or any part of Russia needs a passport, visa, entry/exit cards, and a travel voucher. Tourists fill out Migration cards at the border and these remain with their passports. Travel agents can provide all the necessary information and copies of forms needed for the trip to Kazan. Travelers carrying copies of personal papers are wise.

Traveling To China Today

Edit Article |

Posted: Jun 08, 2010 |

]]>

China, with an area of 9.6 million sq km, is the third largest country in the world, next only to Russia and Canada. Located in eastern Asia, China is bordered by Russia and Mongolia to the north; Russia and North Korea to the east; Russia and Afghanistan to the west; and India, Pakistan, Nepal, Burma, Bhutan, Vietnam, and Laos to the south. The capital of China is Beijing. Shanghai is the largest city.   

Traveling to China is a life time experience and an ideal way to understand the land of cultural and geographic schisms. China offers immense opportunities for its visitors to make their travel quite interesting. Whether you are interested in Chinese culture, Chinese history, or simply to enjoy Chinese scenery, a trip through the Chinese mainland has it all.  

If you don’t have a couple of years for exploring the Chinese mainland, it is a good idea to follow a loose itinerary. Some good suggestions along these lines include a trip from the Chinese capital to Tibet through Xi’an’s terracotta warriors, following the traditional Silk route, sailing down the Yangtze River (which provides the most rarest and beautiful views of Mother Nature), or traveling around the Dr Seuss landscape of Guangxi Province.   

Beijing has been crowned as the country’s capital for approximately 500 years. The city boasts some of the beautiful sights such as the off-limits palace of Ming and Qing emperors, the Forbidden City, their eunuch servants, princesses and harems. The Summer Palace, one of the major attractions, was constructed in the late Qing period. China’s renowned imperial legacy – the Great Wall – starts from Beijing. The wall can be viewed from numerous places, however, majority of the visitors approach it from Beijing.  

The sacred mountains of China have always been major pilgrimage destinations for many centuries and all these mountains feature well marked trails to the summits. There are also stairways carved into rock faces, and sights en-route includes inscriptions and poems and several temples. The sunrise at the summit is inevitably one of the most noted attractions. Huangshan, Emeishan, and Taishan are the most popular mountains majority of the foreign tourists never miss in their China travel.   

China also prides for being home to the largest Buddha statue in the world. The Grand Buddha at Leshan in Sichuan Province is 71 m high and carved into a cliff face which overlooks the meeting of the Dadu and Min rivers.  

China’s well known collection of European architecture is lined up facing the sea on the Bund in Shanghai. Xiamen in Fujian Province features outstanding collections of colonial architecture, on Gulangyr Island.   

Tourist attractions in China are too much information to cover. Hence it is better to contact a tourist operator first and get an idea about the possibility and cost of different tour programs before embarking on one.

The guides are full of essential hints on where to go, things to see, Saint Petersburg’s Museums, shopping mall and flea markets, quality places reasonably priced where to eat or sip a famous Pilsner and clubs, budget hostels and cheap hotel deals to book, emergency numbers and more.

Saint Petersburg is a city located in Northwestern Federal District of Russia on the delta of the Neva River at the east end of the Gulf of Finland on the Baltic Sea.

Flashbooking is a growing cheap hostel Saint Petersburg and hotels directory specializing in budget accommodation for independent travellers, students, adventurous backpackers, international volunteers, families and all the ones that travel on a budget.

Saint Petersburg it is informally known as Piter and was formerly known as Petrograd and Leningrad.

Flashbooking accommodation database is easily available online and comes completed with all relevant information about youth hostel and hotel location and map, description, services, hostel contacts, customer ratings, six pictures and updated prices inclusive of taxes and services together with instant real availability.

Founded by Tsar Peter the Great on May 16, 1703 as a “window to Europe”, it served as the capital of the Russian Empire for more than two hundred years.

In the Saint Petersburg guide students, families and backpackers can get a large selection of cheap or low cost accommodation with plenty of low cost solutions in budget youth hostels, Bed and Breakfast Saint Petersburg, guesthouses, cheap hotel deals.

St. Petersburg ceased being the capital when the government moved to Moscow after the Russian Revolution of 1917.

In general, these guides have been written for giving the essential information about the most visited cities in the world and in particular for any traveller or first-time visitor. For a short visit, a week-end, a city break, these free pocket guides are useful printable and downloadable tools available online.

With the monthly newsletter, Flashbooking puts at travellers’ and partner hostels’ free disposal some useful information tools as pocket travel guides of the top world cities: the Amsterdam City guide, the London City guide, the Barcelona City guide, the Paris City guide, the Rome City guide, the Florence City guide, and the freshly issued Saint Petersburg City guide!

With about 4.8 million inhabitants in its metropolitan area, Saint Petersburg is Russia’s second-largest city, Europe’s eleventh largest metropolitan area, a major European cultural center, and the most important Russian port on the Baltic.

Our travellers are also our good partners as they help us either giving their ratings of some accommodations, lodgings, BandB, youth hostels and budget small hotels where they personally stayed, either enlarging the hostel offer by reporting some new contacts.

Flashbooking policy tends to privilege small and family-run hotels in order to promote an alternative tourism respectful of cultures and different societies.
