Great post, Dave, but for . . .
>>>Buenchico to post full details of train times from Smolensk to Vladivostok
Ridiculous! I'd never do a thing like that!
Oh, BTW, you need the 0701 service from Smolensk to Moscow Belorusskaja tomorrow morning, arriving at 1145. Then you need to get across Moscow for your connection from Moscow Laroslavskaja at 1350. Take plenty of reading material with you because that train takes 6 days to get to Vladivostok, arriving next Sunday at 1310.
