it was a miracle the nicholai himself survived the nature of science and doesn't pardon anyone's mistakes even those of skilled tourists. the tourists are entering the final strait there are about twenty kilometers left to their destination. the passes at hand after which the thermal springs will be finally in view. so once again and unassailable wrong blocks the travellers way. that's it. it's unlikely they'll be able to lift the snowmobiles and all the equipment that high. this knows too deep and the rocks are too high. we would need a special winch is to get us to that high which we don't have so this is it but it's the end of the line we must return. the expedition comes to an end just a few co months is sure to their destination. the thermal springs remain inaccessible high up in the east and cyan mountains. this doesn't upset the travelers too much even though they've covered nearly four hundred kilometers on snowmobiles to get here. and we're a team aren't we actually even a team can get nervous or upset at times but it's no big deal we get some tea get some rest and then the next

each winter nicholai observes this extraordinary unfrozen patch of water on the lake it remains on frozen even during severe cold snaps. while this water tastes great. according to one theory there's a strong thermal spring on the bottom of the lake it warms the water which in turn becomes saturated with oxygen thanks to the absence of an icy cover. those are usually people make ice holes on lakes to let the fish breathe but here the fish feel rather comfortable this natural phenomenon is good both for the fish and birds that stay here in this sajjan. nic the participants of the expedition i will become more frozen mountain rivers to approach they go to some of springs a closer hound. however the tourists encounter more and more natural obstacles. a small but deep mountain spring and peace they travel as they decide to fell some trees and build a crossing. because it is this is what we call accept raced through the snowmobiles that we dug we built a bridge this is how we entertain ourselves. but closer to the end of the adventure the many want a snowmobile suffers. a. surprise sometimes i

together with nicholai they dared to be the first to conquer the rapids but their raft got stuck in a so-called barrel a place under a waterfall with a strong counter current. their attempts to get out of the natural trap failed. we want to go for more than an hour we were trying to overcome the flow but failed . we were exhausted by the cold in the water both physically and mentally over with the boat overturned after which we never saw each other again. it was a miracle the negro himself survived the nature of science and doesn't pardon anyone's mistakes even those of skilled tourists. the tourists are entering the final strait there are about twenty kilometers left to their destination. the passes at hand after which the thermal springs will be finally in view. so once again and unassailable wrong blocks the travellers way. that's it. it's unlikely they'll be able to lift the snowmobiles and all the equipment that high. this knows too deep and the rocks are too high but we would need a special winch is to get us to that high which we don't have so this is it but it's the end of the

ok nicholai if i go back to one province i think one of the interesting things and it's what's really misunderstood even by a lot of russians actually about the c.i.s. is that it's all based on by lateral agreements so russia will have an agreement with kazakhstan classics on has the bilateral back with russia but there are very few c.i.s. instruments because this is was done intentionally to be very decentralized because of the memory of the soviet union and presumably the memory of the russian empire itself so it's really what you put into it is what you get out of it for example georgia left of its own on its own because of the conflict they did started in south of thirty in august two thousand and eight and it went on its own way isolated in the neighborhood because it doesn't have the same kind of agreements that it would used to have through the c.i.s. so i guess i'm going it's a long way of me saying there are actually some benefits to it it just depends how much you want to put into it. very true but if the instruments that have now been put in place to create a single economi
