The :pkpic: vagon-lits was a pleasant ride yestetday, sadly I have finally been Deutsche Bahned in 🇩🇪 Muenchen and missed my :cff: :kb_ec: EuroCity to 🇨🇭 Zurich. Instead, I took the opportunity of the :db: :de_ice: Tz "München" with the 🏳️🌈 pride stripe via 🇩🇪 Karlsruhe.
Finally, a good old :db: class 628 brought me across the border back to 🇫🇷 Alsace where I was greeted by the beautiful new :sncf: 🤝🏽 :db: Régiolis transfrontaliers sleeping there.
Finally home.
17 days of travels, 12 countries, 16.600 km on rails and 200 hours onboard of trains to travel from 🇹🇭 Bangkok to 🇫🇷 Alsace !
Thanks for reading 💙💛 !

Last miles back home : During day 16 of my journey, I made it to my last :kb_liege: night train for a while.
The day began in 🇱🇹 Vilnius with an :ltg: Pesa 730 ML ride on the international link to 🇱🇹 Mockava, where there's the break of gauge between Soviet track gauge and standard gauge. The transfer is a no-brainer, the :pkpic: IC 145 "Wigry" was already waiting for us and after an illegal and annoying border check, we made our 4 h journey onboard of the comfortable, modern :pkpic: voyage wagons to 🇵🇱 Warszawa Centralnia on time.
I spent a relaxing day in the city enjoying the outstanding Polish cuisine culture and visiting the hacker space before continuing my journey from 🇵🇱 Warszawa Wschodina in the evening.
I was pleased to salute the :uz: 068Л "Kyiv-Express" on its overnight trip to Ukraine's capital with its golden roofs and defiant beauty 💙💛.
I meanwhile boarded the :pkpic: :kb_en: 40407 "Chopin" :kb_kurswagen: through-carriages on their 15 h journey from 🇵🇱 Warszawa via 🇨🇿 Ostrava and 🇦🇹 Wien to 🇩🇪 Muenchen. After three exhausting days rushing from 🇷🇺 Sankt-Peterburg via the Baltic's to 🇵🇱 Warszawa I granted me a luxury wrap up of my travels : I could catch a single sleeper compartment with a shower - a good opportunity on a long-running sleeper train with enough time in the morning.
The :pkpic: vagon-lits are amongst the best sleeper rolling stock available in western Europe. Of course, due to the loading gauge constraints and the fundamental lack of understanding how to design suitable night train wagons here in EU (I absolutely don't get this, just look at what amazing night trains they have east of EU borders even with respect to western loading gauge), they can in no way compete with Soviet-style long hauling trains. Nevertheless, they are comfortable, clean, have somewhat comfortable beds, a private bathroom and even a DVD player 🤓 !
I'm completely exhausted from the speed run of the last days and need to catch up with my strive for sleep, dreaming myself 1000 km westbound before tackling the last miles back home tomorrow.
Good night 😴.

After a total travel time of 12:30 h today, I reached 🇱🇹 Vilnius with a little delay.
I'm exhausted since I didn't sleep a lot last night so I directly walked over to the Panorama Hotel most railway transit passenger might be familiar with.
While the timetables in the Baltic's drastically improved in recent times (like, relatively), the link to Poland is still rather limited. For me that means I'll need to get up early tomorrow to catch the :ltg: Intercity service to the border station in 🇱🇹 Mockava at half past six in the morning to make my way to 🇵🇱 Warszawa in a timely manner.
Good night everyone 😴 !

The day began with a couple of hours by :elron: FLIRT : First, the :elron: RE33 got me from 🇪🇪 Narva to 🇪🇪 Tapa, where I changed to the :elron: RE45 bringing me to 🇪🇪 Valga / 🇱🇻 Valga with the transfer to the :ltg: 🤝🏽 :vivi: Pesa 730 ML bringing me via 🇱🇻 Riga down to 🇱🇹 Vilnius - my final destination for tonight.
Despite all the joy of being back in 🇪🇺 Europe, the bitter breeze of nationalism, oppression and fascism blowing around the globe can be smelled even here : Our universal freedom of movement is violated here as everywhere with the Estonian police illegally racial profiling the arriving train from 🇱🇻 Riga.
Illegal border checks are no minor issue. No privileged complaint. Fighting police checks is fighting for fundamental human rights. Arbitrary identity checks are the open port of entry for fascism, for hazardous oppression.
I'm terrified of this because I've just seen what this road leads to during my journey across 🇷🇺 Russia and 🇨🇳 China.
We need to fight this. Every single of us must fight this. If you do not fight this, you collaborate with the autocrats. This is our civil duty. Our fight for a liberal Europe.
It's 13:12 🕐 !
P.S. : If you wanna glimpse on what this does to a democracy, I'd kindly suggest to read this : https://mullvad.net/and-then/

I will write more about the day tomorrow morning.
For now I'm just happy to be back in 🇪🇺 Europe.
Oh, and a friendly :omya_pkp_ic: for charging me 300 (!!!) EUR for a sleeper reservation from 🇵🇱 Warszawa to 🇩🇪 Muenchen.

Long live democracy, long live freedom, long live liberty 🌈✊🏽.
Let's fight together for a future in solidarity !
I'm back in 🇪🇺 Europe. I'm back in democracy. I'm back in a country where I don't need to fear to disappear for putting up my voice. I left the terror of the 🇷🇺 Russian hegemony behind. I could drop my fear, my caution.
Europe needs more solidarity, strength - because our enemies are close by, undermining our fraternity and unity !
Let's fight it together 🌈✊🏽 !
In other words : I left the 🇷🇺 Russian Federation in 🇷🇺 Ivangorod and arrived in the 🇪🇺 European Union in 🇪🇪 Narva.
A bridge, one kilometer by foot. An Iron Curtain. Worlds collide. A restricted gate to liberty. A valued gate to liberty. The New Iron Curtain. As terrifying as the old one.
Stay strong and be thankful for our freedom 🕯️.

After one more night onboard of the :rzd: 071Е, I reached 🇷🇺 Sankt-Peterburg Ladozhskiy around noon. Leaving my comfortable :rzd: first class single SV compartment behind, I'm preparing for the final leg in Russia : Tonight, the :rzd: dieziel' (or is it an elektrichka when it's bi-mode ?) П 6661 will hopefully bring me from 🇷🇺 Sankt-Peterburg Baltiyskiy to 🇷🇺 Ivangorod-Narvarskiy right at the border to 🇪🇪 Narva.
Since the suburban train will depart in the evening, I'll have half a day to spend in 🇷🇺 Sankt-Peterburg. The agenda is obvious : After some lunch, I will head over to the :rzd: Museum of the Russian Railways right next to the Baltiyskiy railway station 🚂 !
So far, day 14 of my journey !

After spending the evening in 🇷🇺 Ekaterinburg with the amazing Children's Railway, I boarded one of the two actually occupied SV compartments of the :rzd: 071Е "Diemidovskii Ekspriess" brining me to 🇷🇺 Sankt-Peterburg during its 40 hour journey. Sadly, this is my last sleeper train for a while since the journey down the baltic's will be entirely seated due to the lack of night trains.
After the exhausting afternoon in the city with its chaotic tram lines, I slept like a baby and started my day as usual : with an amazing :rzd: @diningcar breakfast.
The chef served me fresh oatmeal porridge along with Asian-fusion rice noodle salad with steamed vegetables, juice and a bun. I rounded this up with oat milk cocoa and fresh fruits from my groceries and at the end had the meal of my life 🥰. While I initially was sceptical about the combination of porridge and rice noodles, the chef de cuisine could fully convince me : It was a truly perfect match for an amazing start in my day 😋 !
My train is meanwhile following the last miles of the Transsibirskaya Magistral north of 🇷🇺 Nizhny Novgorod so that I'm now notably reached Moskva Time Zone +3 🎉 !
I will enjoy some rest with good food today - and plan the final few days of my trip which is mostly reserving seats :omya_reservierungspflicht:, booking my :kb_en: EuroNight home and looking for hotels in the baltic's.

The winter landscapes were passing by and after a while I was hungry again. Sadly the :rzd: @diningcar had lunch break so I returned to my compartment without food.
To my surprise, after half an hour, the chef knocked at the door and served me a tasty lunch rather than waiting for me to come over again. What a service 🥰 !
In the afternoon, I arrived in 🇷🇺 Ekaterinburg where I took the opportunity to visit the Children's Railway and the amazing :rzd: Narrow Gauge Railway Museum.
I'm notably in western Russia again : There are frequent Electrizhka trains, English announcements and people with colored hair walking around the city.
My connecting train is leaving around midnight so I'll still have plenty of time to grab dinner before taking the last long-distance train in Russia : the luxury 071Е bringing me to 🇷🇺 Sankt-Peterburg on a two-day ride.

I slept like a baby onboard of my :rzd: Ammendorf SV wagon 🥰. While sleeping, I made it from Siberia to Ural Federal District so I guess I'm back in Europe now ?
In any case, the border to 🇪🇺 EU seems within reachable distance and while I absolutely enjoy my travels onboard of comfortable :rzd: night trains, I'm also looking forwards to taking my :pride_fluo: Régiolis back home in a couple of days.
For now, I got my breakfast from the @diningcar : Freshly cooked coconut porridge, vegetable salad, orange juice and the mandatory tea 🍵.
Good morning Fedi 🌄 !

Ammendorf first class SV sleeper wagon, coal heated and with the most floofy interior possible. Tell me about any better railway carriage 🥰🥰🥰 ?

My special skill after this trip will be explaining what vegan food means in any most cursed situation in Russian 🫠.
Yes, porridge without milk. Yeah, coconut milk sounds great !
No, the salad without feta please, could you do that ? No, please no chicken stripes instead !
Yes, black tea without condensed milk ! -
I was said good-bye by the conductor with a German "Auf wiedersehen" when leaving the train in 🇷🇺 Novosibirsk. Even though I have a one hour transfer here, my connecting train already arrived after 10 more minutes.
The :rzd: 115И on its journey from 🇷🇺 Tomsk to 🇷🇺 Adler will bring me up to 🇷🇺 Ekaterinburg within the next 21 hours. My journey across Siberia thereby ends tomorrow since the starting from Tyumen Oblast, I'll be in the Ural Federal District.
Considering how this train will travel through 🇷🇺 Rossosh, 🇷🇺 Millerovo, 🇷🇺 Shakty and 🇷🇺 Rostov right at the border of Russian-occupied 🇺🇦 Luhansk, 🇺🇦 Donetsk and 🇺🇦 Crimea with its terminus 🇷🇺 Adler right at the border of Russian-occupied 🇬🇪 Abkhazia (where you notably are not allowed to takes horses across the border when coming from Russia) riding sometimes just five kilometers next to the border I'm feeling apprehensive and drowning. This train is not just a link from Siberia to the Russian black sea beaches but also a military supply backbone transporting soldiers to their fateful and mostly deathly duty in Russia's war against freedom and liberty. The sole positive side on this is how Russia can no longer recruit as many soldiers as killed, wounded or taken captive while attacking Ukrainian defense. While this is a good sign for world freedom I don't even dare to imagine what durable pain this causes to both conflict parties tearing apart families and friendships with no return. May their bereaves find solace in peace and fraternity 🖤.
Once again, my travel report is no tourism suggestion. May you take this inscrutable sorrow as a warning to avoid Russia's hazardous dictatorship at any cost. It is not safe to be here. For no one.
I know, writing these things in public is recklessly dangerous while I'm still in this country but I cannot be silent. I cannot travel home through Russia without showing to ugly sneer of this cruel machinery found between the lines everywhere since I crossed the Sino-Russian border.
I meanwhile occupied (cynic pun intended) my comfortable :rzd: 1st class single sleeper SV compartment and wait for the departure of my train to get my long awaited dinner served. Enjoying my luxury life while the soldiers designated dead in a couple of days take their rest in the Platzkarty carriages just a few meters away from me.
Sorry, I think I need to vomit 🕯️ ...
Stand with Ukraine, fight for freedom and sleep tight 😴.

My train is about to arrive. Meanwhile the staff changed and the elderly conductor knocked at the door, informing me we'll arrive in 🇷🇺 Novosibirsk in 30 minutes. Adorably, she told me so in the classic language of international railways : German. It's wonderful to realize how in many corners of the former Soviet countries German turns out to be the common language 🥰 !
