The Reality of Life in Russia 2023 (bureaucratic nightmare)
This is our life in Russia in late 2022 / 2023. Traveling to Russia as a westerner has always been difficult, a bureaucratic nightmare, but this year is the first time Matt and I have really had any issues. We arrived in my hometown of Kemerovo, Siberia, after crossing in to Russia at Kaliningrad and flying to Novosibirsk. Once here and staying with my family, we went to register with the local authorities, but everything turned out to be a little complicated to say the least. This is a week in our lives here staying in Siberia as we hang out with my family and prepare for New years eve (the biggest celebration of the year in Russia, Ukraine, Belarus and many other former Soviet countries). Welcome to a very cold, wintery Siberia.

The Reality of Life in Russia 2023 (bureaucratic nightmare)
Driving through the streets of Yelabuga (Alabuga) town 2016 Russia
Driving through the streets of Yelabuga (Alabuga) town 2016 Russia is a video in which I'm driving my skoda Octavia a7 and recording the video using a dash cam.
Yelabuga (Russian: Ела́буга; Tatar: Cyrillic Алабуга, Latin Alabuğa) is a town in the Republic of Tatarstan, Russia, located on the right bank of the Kama River and 200 kilometers (120 mi) east from Kazan. Population: 70,728 (2010 Census); 68,663 (2002 Census); 53,537 (1989 Census).
The former name of the city was Alabuga. Its history dates back to the 10th century, when a Volga Bulgarian border castle, the so-called Alamir-Sultan castle was built by Bulgarian Khan Ibrahim in 985 CE. The castle was built on the place of the legendary tomb of Alamir-Sultan (Alexander the Great Macedonian)[vague]. The name 'Alabuga' originally referred to the tower of the castle, later the whole city was named Alabuga. The castle was later abandoned, and its remains are now known as Şaytan qalası (Shaytan's castle). In the second half of the 16th century, a Russian village was founded on the same spot.

Елабуга - город в современной Республике Татарстан, расположенный на правом берегу реки Камы, примерно в 200 км (210 м.) от Казани. Город может проследить свою историю с 10 века нашей эры, когда в 985 году был построен пограничный замок волжской Булгарии. Позже замок был заброшен, и от него осталась только небольшая башня.

Его́рьевск — город в Московской области России.
Назван в честь Святого Егория, то есть Георгия Победоносца. На месте города в XVI веке находилось село Высокое, впоследствии переименованная в село Егорие-Высокое (по имени приходской церкви в честь Егория). В 1778 году оно стало городом Егорьевском.
Егорьевск был знаменит ежегодными ярмарками (хлебная торговля). В XIX веке — важный центр старообрядчества. В том же веке стал центром ткацкой промышленности.
Yegorievsk is a city in the Moscow region of Russia.
Named in honour of Saint Egoriy, that is, George the Victorious. On the site of the city in the 16th century there was the village of Vysokoe, which was later renamed the village of Yegorie-Vysokoe (after the parish church in honour of Yegor). In 1778 it became the city of Yegoryevsk.

Никольская улица — улица в Тверском районе Центрального административного округа города Москвы, одна из главных улиц Китай-города. Проходит от Красной площади до Лубянской площади. Одна из старейших улиц Москвы. Здесь находились Печатный двор, Николо-Греческий монастырь (Никола Старый), Славяно-греко-латинская академия.
Nikolskaya Street is one of the three historic streets of the former Kitay-gorod in central Moscow...The street ran from the Vladimir Gate of the Kitay-gorod wall (dismantled in 1934) in an almost straight line to the Nikolsky Gate of the Kremlin..The name Nikolskaya comes from the monastery of St. Nicholas the Old, set up on Vladimirskaya road, where the street itself is now located. Before the construction of the wall of the Kitay Gorod in 1534–1538, the street was called Sretenskaya...In the 17th century, the street was built up with the courtyards of the most distinguished boyars and, one of the few in Moscow, was paved with boards stuffed over the logs of an ordinary pavement. At the beginning of the 19th century, Nikolskaya was the centre of the Moscow book trade: on it and the adjacent Novaya Square there were 26 bookshops out of 31 existing in Moscow; numerous shops of second-hand booksellers existed there at the beginning of the XX century. At the end of the street was the home of the Academy of Sciences with an academic bookstore. The beginning of the street was transformed in the 1890s with the construction of two large Trading Rows: the Upper Trading Rows (the current GUM, 1893), and opposite them the Nikolsky Rows (1900)...By the second half of the XIX century Nikolskaya, like other streets of Kitay-gorod, was the business centre of Moscow.....
