Trebao
je to
biti
put na daleki istok. Rusija je trebala biti zaokruženje i
završetak jedne priče. A Rusija je golema zemlja. Trebao je
to biti put s obale Jadranskog mora do obale Japanskog mora, predvorja
zemlje izlazećeg sunca, put preko 2 kontinenta, a na tom putu
ispriječilo se jedno ogromno prostranstvo. Sibir. Za mnoge
još i danas mistična zemlja, zemlja surove klime, zemlja
zarobljenika totalitarnih sistema. Bila je to zemlja u kojoj su
završili svi snovi mnogih ljudi. Sibir je bio, blago rečeno,
presurov prema njima…
A
nisam ni slutio, kada
sam se pripremao za ovo putovanje, da će taj isti, daleki i tajanstveni
Sibir, biti nemilosrdan i u neku ruku surov i prema meni, jer možda su
se i moji snovi tamo raspršili u tisuće komadića i tko zna
dali će ikada više biti prilike ponovno ih sakupiti...
It
should have been a
trip to Far East. The Russia was
suppoused to be the end of a story. And
Russia is a big country. It was suppoused to be a trip from the
Adriatic sea to
the Japaneese sea's coast, the lounge to the country of the rising sun,
a trip
over two continents. The thing that came
on the way was Sibir, the great width. For many, Sibir is still a
mistique
country, with a very harsh climate, a country of prisoners of the
totalitaristic
systems. It was a country where the dreams of many have come to a end.
Sibir ,
in nice words, was too harsh towards
them...
When
I was preparing
myself for this trip I didn't know that
this same distant and mistique Sibir will be harsh towards me as well
because, maybe,
some of my dreams might have been broken in thousands pieces there, and
who
knows if I will have a chance to gather
them ever again...

Nažalost
planirana ruta
nije u potpunosti
ostvarena.
Nakon 9200 km, putovanje motorom bilo je završeno u blizini
grada Krasnojarska. Bezazlen ali nezgodan pad na jednoj
makadamskoj cesti i polomjena kost ruke u ramenu značili su
završetak tog dijela putovanja. Ali i drugi dio tog
putovanja, povratak kući (kombijem, vlakom, kamionom i autobusom), nije
bio ništa manje interesantan.
Unfortunately
the
planned route
was not completely
realized. After 9200
km, the travel by motorcycle was finished near the town Krasnojarsk. I
fell
down on a unpaved road. It was nothing serious, but I broke my
shoulder. The
way back home (by
mini bus, trains, truck and
bus) was very interesting too.
Posebno hvala
Marku i njegovim prijateljima iz Novosibirskog
na ugodnom društvu i pomoći koju su mi pružili za vrijeme
mog putovanja po Rusiji.
Special thank
to Mark
and to all his friends from
Novosibirsk for good company and for all their help during my
travel in
Russia.
