I am simply amazed that an American has taken all of these routes of the Trans-Siberian Railroad. Most Russians have not done this. Author Robert Walker has got the towns and cities, the rivers and mountains, Russian history - it's a journey through all of Russia. I enjoyed reading his book from cover to cover.
Dear Mr. Walker, Thank you for your interest in the Russian Federation and to the photos by Chairman of the Government (of the Russian Federation) Dmitrii Medvedev. Replying to your request, you may use the photo taken by Prime Minister Dmitrii Medvedev of the Tobolsk Kremlin in your book "The Trans-Siberian Railway Encyclopedia".
I don't know how Bob does it - but he gets around, he's been everywhere in Russia and I've traveled with him. This book is the best guide I've ever seen.
Robert knows the Trans-Sib Railroad better than anyone I know. He's taken every kilometer on every route, many times. It's unbelievable!
