"Train from Moscow - (Proschanie Slavianki)" Minsk Transportation Tip by Pablos_new

It is rather convinient to go to Belarus by train.

What was strange that on my way from Moscow to Minsk none asked me to show my passport. There is no border between countries, but what is more strange that even train conductors asked only for ticket.

One more interesting fact. At some big railway stations in former Soviet Union there is an interesting tradition - when train is departing towards Moscow one of the famouse millitary marches is relayed via station broadcast system, usually it is March "Farwell of Slavonic Woman". I saw custom is alive in Minsk and in Feodosia (Ukraine).

Background music and text is here: "Farwell of Slavonic Woman"
