According to Vladimir Ponomarev, a few days he managed to get to Penza region: sleeping in a tent when it comes to the stores, wearing a mask, and since traveling alone, it turns out that the regime of isolation are not violated.
Behind Saratova, economist and retired according to their current status and solid experience of the journey on foot. In the last seventeen years he had visited 25 countries, from Australia to Finland and from South Korea to Scotland. I walked for about 30 thousand kilometers. A large backpack and other Luggage on wheels behind a truck. Once in the Alps stumbled on the steep trail and stayed there for twenty minutes over the precipice. Luckily for him, passing by cyclists who pulled him out.

In Laos – even worse: under a torrential tropical rain lost and went into some forbidden area and, by night, armed militants dragged him at gunpoint out of the tent.
