Foreword<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Three months ago my old friend Eugene Pyatigorsky phoned me and made an unexpected offer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u2014 Would you like to take part in the Silk Way Rally this summer?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 Pardon? As who? Isn't it an advanced race, in which professionals compete? Like participants and winners of Dakar and other world rally raids. And I'm not a sportsman, I'm a traveller.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 So your answer is \"no\"?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 No, of course, I agree! When does it start?<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

And here I am in Kazan, at the Ak Bars Arena stadium, where the teams, who are participating in this largest international rally in Eurasia, are bivouacked in the vast parking lot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Huge trucks, mighty buggies, ATVs and, of course, motorbikes are gradually filling the territory and the racers are being registered, then tested by doctors. They check their equipment again and make a pre-start hustle and bustle around.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\t\t
