Hello!

Here are a few answers to new questions from the AskMagadan site visitors:

Question: Where to buy food and if there is sale of ready-to-cook food?

Answer: We have a supermarket where you can purchase products and ready meals. But such food might be not in your style, as Russian cuisine appeared to be quite original.

Q: I am able to rent a house in Magadan for a long time?

A: You can rent a flat (apartment) in Magadan with furniture and household appliances for the long term. Some examples you can see here on the site: http://www.kvartiryer.com.

There is also the rental service office, where you can find flats for renting on the daily basis. It is located near a bus station (indicated on the below map).

In Magadan, flat rent rates varies from 600 to 1,000 dollars a month.

Q: How many people in Magadan can speak English?
A: Majority doesn’t speak English very much, but there are enough English-speaking people, especially among young ones.

A sketch of Kolyma Monument to be installed on Kolyma Highway in Magadan Oblast.

We have started a new project. It’s the installation of the Kolyma monument dedicated to the people, who had been developing the territory of Kolyma. Without deviding people into groups based on right-wing or guilt, gulag victims or people, who arrived at their souls’ summons.

In short, the Monument will be dedicated to all, who developed or are developing our beuatiful, but tough region.

Our Kolyma Monument page on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/MonumentKolyma.

Currently, we have the Monument design. On May 7th, we with friends are heading to the Kolyma Highway to look for the installation place.

Meanwhile, we suggest to see the initial outline (the above photo).

Далее вариант по-русски.

Мы начали новый проект. Это установка монумента в честь людей, осваивающих Колыму. Без деления на правых и виноватых, на жертв репрессий, и приехавших на север по зову сердца. В общем, монумент для всех кто осваивал и осваивает наш красивый но сложный регион.

Страница проекта на facebook:https://www.facebook.com/MonumentKolyma

Пока у нас готов только проект монумента. 7го мая с друзьями уезжаем на Колымскую трассу для того что бы найти место установки монумента.

Пока же, вашему вниманию предлагаю эскиз.

Short answers to short questions from blog visitors:

1. Is it possible to get to Magadan by train?

No. The railroad to Magadan was not constructed. To get to my place is possible by plane or sea or on your own vehicles.

2. Is it possible to load a car on a ship, that goes to the U.S.A.?

We don’t have ships sailing directly to Alaska. Mostlikely, it’s better to ship vehicles to Vladivostok and then to Alaska.

По-русски:

1) Можно ли добраться до Магадана по железной дороге?

Ответ: Нет. Железной дороги к магадану не построено. Добраться можно только самолетом или морем, а так же собственным транспортом.

2) Можно ли поставить машину на корабль в Магадане, который перевезет ее в Америку?

Ответ: У нас нет прямого морского сообщения с Аляской. Вероятнее всего, необходимо будет отправить машину сначала во Владивосток, а уже оттуда – на Аляску!

Russian search engine yandex updated their maps. Now you can see a big increase in the road to Magadan from Yakutsk. this is a really good opportunity to see what awaits travelers. Address: http://maps.yandex.ru

Ice Sculpture Festival in Magadan. so beautiful and so quickly.

Hooray! I became a father again! my son is only 6 days. but it is growing! I hope – will be my partner in the fishing and the outdoors!

These Romanian guys had a great motorcycle ride from Romania to Magadan last year. They made it through the Road of Bones and installed the memorial tablet dedicated to the Romanian exiles repressed in the time of Stalin’s regime. Good fellows! Not so many devote their expedition to the victims of GULAGs.

Поездка румынских парней в 2010 году.

Ребята отлично скатались в нашу область. Проехали по дороге костей, прибили табличку в память репресированных погибших румын. Молодцы! Не многие катаются именно в память о жертвах гулага. Очень хорошее видео!
