Greg BloomThanks to Dima for the hospitality in Shere-gesh. Thanks to Rita for the Altai advice and for hooking me up with several contacts. Thanks to Vladimir, my crazy cab driver, for the colourful language and Chuysky Trakt anecdotes. Thanks to Russian Railways for being so damn punctual.
Thanks to kalyan. Thanks to the peeps of West-ern Siberia for being good souls.
Marc Di DucaHuge dyakuyu goes to Kyiv parents-in-law Mykola and Vira for looking after sons Taras and Kirill while I was in Siberia. Big thanks to Alex in Chita, Denis and Marina in Ulan-Ude, Andriy and Anya in Slyudyanka, Zhenya in Irkutsk, Igor, Lena and Georgy in Tayshet, the Maryasovs of Severobaikalsk, Anatoliy and Alex in Krasnoyarsk, Real Russia in London for their hassle-free visa service and, of course, my wife Tanya, for suffering my long absences from our home in Sandwich, Kent.
Anthony HaywoodThanks to those who helped out with local knowledge, mostly anonymously, along the way, but especially to Katya Y in Kazan and Katya P in Perm. In Yekaterinburg I’d like to thank Konstantin and Olga Brylyakov for sharing their knowledge (and delicious cream cake!), and Luba Suslyakova for her expert opinions and good company over dinner. Thanks also to the staff at Lonely Planet, especially Anna Tyler and Brana Vladisavljevic.
Michael KohnMany thanks to Molly and Baigalmaa for their companionship on the tour to northern Mongolia. A round of thanks is owed to Daniel,

Shawn LowAs always thanks to the DE, Brana, for steady-ing the Trans-Siberian ship and for your friend-ship. Cheers also to CA: Simon (yet another one done and dusted!). Thanks to the Lonely Planet crew who are working on this: eds, car-tos, LDs etc. I’ve been behind the scenes and know how hard you all work. Thanks also to new friends and old friends on the ground: too numerous to list but I promise to buy you all beers when our paths cross again. Otherwise, we’ll catch up on WeChat!
Tom MastersHuge thanks to my many friends in St Peters-burg, but especially Anatoliy Buzinskiy at Dozhd, Biblioteka Gogolya and Letovpitere for making such huge efforts to help me with contacts and introductions. Thanks to my old friend and tireless Petersburger Simon Patter-son, his wife Olga Dmitrieva and their amazing children for making me feel at home during my stay, and also for organising my accommoda-tion. Thanks also to such reliable comrades as Nikita Yumanov, Gena Bogolepov, Alexei Dmitriev, Alexei Chernov, Nikita Slavich, Dima Dzhafarov, Sasha & Andrey, Peter Kozyrev and Nastya Makarova. At Lonely Planet big thanks to Simon Richmond, Anna Tyler, Brana Vladis-avljevic and all the in-house eds and cartos for their hard work on this title.
Daniel McCrohanHuge thanks to my uncle, Dave Campos, for being brave enough to join me on my latest Trans-Mongolian adventure; if only that jeep had been as comfortable as the train! Thanks too to fellow authors, David Eimer and Mike Kohn for their help with research in Běijīng and Mongolia respectively. A big nǐhǎo to all my family and friends back in the UK. But most of all, to Taotao and the kids: 我爱你们!
Leonid RagozinMany thanks to my wife Masha Makeeva for bearing with my absences and for accompa-nying me on the Yaroslavl section of this trip. Huge thanks to my Lonely Planet colleague Branislava Vladisavljevic for her patience and helping with numerous issues that were coming up in the course of research. It was also great to catch up with fellow authors – Simon Richmond, Anthony Haywood and Mara Vorhees – in Moscow. Good to see you again!
Regis St LouisThanks go to Anna Kaminski and Greg Bloom for helpful tips on the Far East; Martha Madsen for her hospitality and many tips in Yelizovo; Irina and Sasha for a warm welcome in Esso; Yelena for loads of info at Omega Plus in Yu-zhno-Sakhalinsk; Anastasia for Vladivostok insight; Sasha for the Russky Island excursion; Yegor Makarov for Sakha lore, and Aita, Illary, Elena and expats for all the help in Yakutsk. Hugs to Cassandra and daughters Magdalena and Genevieve for a warm homecoming.
Mara VorheesСамое болшое спасибо to my friend and co-author, Leonid Ragozin, who is a pleasure to work with and fontanka of information about his hometown. Thanks to Tim O’Brien (of course), Marc Bennetts, Simon Richmond and Andrei Muchnik for lots of ideas. As always, thanks to my little guys S&V, for challenging me to see familiar destinations from new per-spectives, and to Daddio, for, well, everything.
