И ведь все правда, вот в чем фокус...
While in a foreign country, U.S. citizens may encounter road conditions that differ significantly from those in the United States...In some areas of Russia, roads are practically non-existent
Medical care is usually far below Western standards, with severe shortages of basic medical supplies. Access to the few quality facilities that exist in major cities usually requires cash payment at Western rates upon admission
To avoid highway crime, travelers should try not to drive at night. Never drive alone at night. Never sleep in vehicles along the road.
Be wary of persons representing themselves as police or other local officials.
Travelers should note that air travel within Russia, particularly in remote regions, can be unreliable at times. Small local airlines do not have advance reservation systems, but they sell tickets for cash at the airport. Flights often are canceled if more than 30% of the seats remain unsold.
