What do mainland Russians think Kaliningrad and vice versa? Do they even care about each other...

>kalingrad is the biggest shithole in Russia
Bold claim but no

Oh actually visa is more like 50-60 euro but I'm in the very south of the country so getting to kaliningrad would be hard in itself

Lol no, Caucasus and Southern Siberia must be worse

yea? then which place is?

Probably Zabaykalsky Krai

How about kola or novaya zemya

I'm planning to go on trans siberian railway from Moscow to Vladivostok for my holiday. Russianbros, will I get beat up because I'm Polish? I'm kinda afraid of it.

Honestly I know lots of people who went there and the polish russian hatred is mostly a meme

Tanu Tuva probably

This.

No
>will I get beat up
May be

It's corrupted, had recent corruption scandals. Usually the regions that are distant from Moscow are the ones where politicians feel safe to do their illegal businesses until thry get caught and screech "muh oppression". Also if I recall correctly Kalingrad Oblast isn't that rich, beside the West European built cities the landscape is now no different from African or South American illegal mines or those Canadian sand oils sites.
The Baltic Sea is known for being extremely rich of amber because of its past ages, this relatively precious good is found on seashores and few metres under the surface. Russians and former soviets have lot of organized gangs illegally digging and filling the ladscape with ugly holes destroying the scenary, it's a convenient business for easy earning. Professional or homemade tools are used for it, then they bring them inside some magazines or garages to clean and polish the gems and sell them.
I think there isn't even enough police to take care of this phenomena. Just search ideos and images of "Kaliningrad amber holes".

ok, thanks. I'm thinking of taking second class because I want to have some contact with Russians on my journey, but don't want to travel with absolute bydlo in terrible conditions. is 2nd class a good choice then? also is it hard to find cheap accomodations if I wanted to spend a few days in some city along the way?

Go with the worst class or you're a pussy

I'm almost 30, I need me some minimal comfort

wiem gdzie trzymają podwodniaki i że robili tam testy atomowe w prlu
ps to prawda

Depends on class, there are two operating companies serving the Transiberian as far I have learned from travel vloggers, state RZhD and some basically touristic railway around Bajkal with better views. Normal non bydlo Russians are actually interested in foreigners, especially those living in non touristic areas that rarely see exotic visitors or hear other languages. You'll make some friends probably if you speak basic English. Avoid taking the lowest class on ttain, it's for commuters and is dirty. The so called Transiberian is the railway, not the train itself like the Orient Express and the likes.

>trans siberian railway
you will be EXTREMELY disappointed.
People use it for commute and only good thing would be getting lucky and drink with some Russian girls.
I would beat you up just because you seem like a pussy , bro
>amber
> few metres under the surface
KEK, amber gets washed to the shore during storms. If you walk by the beach you would easily get a small amber pebble (some people don't see the difference between amber and yellowish rocks so you will probably be mistaken :) )

idk anything about train stuff but there're cheap hostels in cities.

thank you for informative post dude. my idea for the holiday was to see Russia in a short time while meeting some people from there, and I think the idea of taking a train through the country is pretty cool and romantic. guess I'll be taking the one with better views then, but I will have to research that shit further, the idea is still in infancy, most likely I will do it next year

>I would beat you up just because you seem like a pussy , bro
come at me any time bro if you want to search for your teeth on pavement

The lowest class is India tier, user...
Check this couple of smiling burgers feat. Ronaldo. The Transsiberian vlog seems enough accurate and also shows some stops, how to get food and what to watch briefly there.

A claim i didn't deny, you find it on the beach and you can collect it even as tourist, but the illegals do it in the woods fucking up everything. It doesn't grow like shrooms there, it's older amber that got there and eventually covered in few metres of debris and soil through the time.

This part Semba or Sambia peninsula is where like 90% of worlds amber comes and historically was the main route of Amber road.

>However, about 90%[3][4] to 98%[2] of all output of amber has been produced in the Sambia region

On the conterary, people will most likely be more friendly and curious to a foreigner, espeically to a distant fellow-slav from EU.

what's there to do in Omsk bro? I really want to spend some time there for some reasons I'm not sure of, I simply feel the city calling me in

Most of the russian population doesn't even know that this region exists and that it's detached from the rest of the country. You vastly overestimate our education, most people won't even be able to find netherlands on the map.

Imagine a week with a fat Seryoga !
Could be lucky and get some Russian girls , but we know it's unlikely .
Now this is the correct attitude for visiting Russia. People will think you are local !
Just never seen people DIG for it.
NEVER.

good to hear. my very romantic idea of that journey is to speng most of the time getting to know Russian spirit and discussing Dostoyevsky and Tchaikovsky with my Russian niggas while getting shitfaced on Russian vodka

Can we buy it back from Russia or something?

I don't give no shits about thots, I just want the experience

fair enough.

>Most of the russian population doesn't even know that this region exists and that it's detached from the rest of the country
Complete bullshit, i can't even imagine the bydlo circle you're in. Any zavodskoi bydlan perfectly knows what is Kaliningrad and where it is.

>most people won't even be able to find netherlands on the map.
That might be true (probably not)

>What do mainland Russians think Kaliningrad
Dont think about it at all, but I know their governor Anton Alikhanov is russian nazi. Be careful.

This is the private operatingvrailway company with a private railway path nearby Baikal aswell. Does some tourists tours at some stops butaside from getting very close to the lake and comfort it's mostly foreigners groups of elder people and other boomers. youtu.be/Xq-QWWfCjgo

Depends on how old you are. If you're a student then of course people around you will know this useless information, but most people older than 25 won't be able to tell you what kaliningrad is.

>Anton Alikhanov is russian nazi.
BASED

>Southern Siberia must be worse
There are Western Siberia and Eastern Siberia.

>alikhanov
>ali
>khan
Hmmm...

>Anton Alikhanov was born on September 17, 1986 in the city of Sukhumi (part of the Abkhaz ASSR) in the Georgian Soviet Socialist Republic, to a Russian Cossack mother and a Caucasus Greek father

I have an impression that they are i sufferable cunts and flaming faggots

By Southern Siberia I mean places like Chita or Omsk
