You know, preparing this article, it was doubtful whether in a story about the unconditionally super trick on an excellent and comfortable train from St. Petersburg to Helsinki to mention the self-rolled police at the Finnish station of the Northern Capital? And yet decided that it was, firstly, the Bardak was eliminated (as Varlamov had already achieved in Moscow), and secondly, so that my readers would not have problems with the authorities from scratch. So, planning this trip, I contacted the press service of the Russian Railways and received accreditation for the right of shooting both in the train and at the Finnish station of St. Petersburg. In theory, such permission is useful, but not necessarily, for the order of the Russian Railways chapter of July 18, 2010 No. 513 allowed a photo-audio video shooting at all RZD objects. But if you have received a similar permission, you can not be able to definition in principle. Nevertheless, the following frame cost me a big blood -

So, I come for about 30 minutes before the departure of the train station to the Finnish station of St. Petersburg. At first, I went through the main entrance, but it turned out that the "Allegro" go through a special terminal on the left side of the station building, then you need to go back to the stationary area and pass 300 meters. In general, this is a trifle, nothing to talk about, I am polite We suggested where to pass (for some reason there are no pointers) and in three minutes I was in place.

Inside a very comfortable hall, resembling a hall for registering flights at the airport. I get a camera ... And in the hall a man fifteen (I do not exaggerate) police officers. They ask me not to shoot me, I do not argue, God with them. In fact, it is more interesting for me to shoot the actual train and tell about the trip as such on this one of the best trains of Russia. The ticket is asked for registration, passport, check the availability of a visa, everything is extremely polite and correct.

I go to Perron, I'll get out the camera again and ... And here I just do not surrender! Again the police forbids shooting! In this case, I decide not to descend on the brakes, but I remind about the right citizen's right to take pictures at all RZD objects. In addition, I explain that in addition to the right of any citizen's right to take pictures, I also have a pre-decorated accreditation from Russian Railways. Then the police call for a person in civilian clothes, it seems like Samoilov and says that the Finnish station is a border and customs control zone, therefore the decree of the head of the Russian Railways does not apply to this object. I called the press service of the Oktyabrskaya Railway to clarify who is right in this situation. Then they communicated with Samoilov, all this lasted about 15-20 minutes and the question did not dare. I physically did not have time to continue to defend my rights and less than a minute before the departure of the train I was forced to go to the car to not stay in St. Petersburg. Nevertheless, leaving, quickly threw the camera and took the picture that you saw above, while the police kneaded.

Allegro

But now we are abstracts from the self-smuggling of individual officials in the places and see the train. To say that I was pleasantly surprised - it means not to say anything. You do not know my critical attitude to many things in Russia, you know that I do not like bureaucrats, sluggishness, and the heads in the heads. But in this case, I'm just obliged to declare the open text: maybe when they want! This train is even better than those that roll under La Manshas along the way from Paris to London and even more comfortable Japanese "Sinkansns" -

I'm going to day, at this time least of all people, because people hurry to get to Helsinki in the morning; For lunch, as a rule, full of calm and people in the car can be only five people including you -

I take a trump spot at once on two seats, revealing the laptop -

But before you get to check email, I'll get stuck in advance "lunch of tourist". I assumed that buying food directly on the train will be expensive -

And then there was a funny incident that reminded me of a trip to the chic hotel in Goa, where I am also a comic behavior, you will now understand why. So, I sit, we eat pears with bananas, snatching a sandwich with the cheese "Gauda", I drink mineralka. And here the conductors go with trolleys, offering not only drinks, but also hot food. Pass past me - I refuse. Those asked "Maybe tea?", But I refuse again, somehow, which I suppose now break for tea rubles 300, and for hot rubles 600, we know you! Thim three times offered to take at least something, but I can't take a man, I will not take it, I specifically went to the supermarket and bought myself to eat. Well, the conductors shrugged and go on. That's just notice that other passengers calmly take their meals and no one seems to be no money, no credit cards stretched. Strange.

Well, put yourself in my place, we are all from time to time in Europe on Lookes like Ryanair and EasyJet, there are also offered food, but paid. Agree that we often refuse it? So here.

In short, in the "Allegro" in the first grade fed, it is included in the price. For an additional fee, only alcoholic beverages. I confess, I experienced a lightweight confusion. And the food is very tasty, the choice of fish, meat, or vegetarian food -

By the way, the Internet in the train is fast enough, absolutely calmly not only published a post about, but also uploaded photos to the server -

It's time to fill the Finnish immigration form, where I am writing that I am going to the zoo. Funny? And by the way, I just for this, I did not tell you yet? Yes, yes, I have long dreamed of visiting the Helsinki Zoo. I remember the Finnish border guard, taking a questionnaire into the hands asks "What You Mean by Helsinki Zoo?", I answer that it is here and go, I will return back to St. Petersburg. He laughs "Hopefully You" Re Not Going To To Stay in Lion "S Cage?". No, I say, I will sleep with bears until the spring. What the border guard replied that I would definitely see bears, because they really fell into a hibernation, he was there with her daughter a week ago. Sorry!

Finnish station Vainikkala, where I actually had my conversation with Finnish border guards -

Station Lahti -

And here is the main railway station Helsinki. Here, fortunately, you can absolutely calmly take pictures, unlike the Finnish station of St. Petersburg, where the police in the heads are still spy games and the miscarions of imperialism -

Station is more interesting -

Before riding a zoo, I make a brief walk in the center of Helsinki, there are many unusual monuments and buildings.

Ferry for the strength of Suomenlinna -

Then I return to the station; The bus station is adjacent to him, from where the bus number 15 every 15 minutes follows the zoo -

Last times, when I was in Helsinki (4th 4 years ago), it is noticeable that a lot of Roma appeared in the city. Especially there are many of them, of course, around the station. In the form of beggars -

Homeless -

Or the "pretended" persons with disabilities, piercing people -

20 minutes before departure I go to the train. By the way, there is another Russian composition nearby, it is "Lion Tolstoy", which goes to Moscow -

For comparison, the bus will drive 6-7 hours, well, add the need to come to the airport 2 hours before departure, plus luggage, traffic jams on the airport and so on.
