Russian Road Trip: Cheese, Steel and Brutal Techno | Alfa Future People
In our first official road trip for Russia Beyond Tim Kirby drives a big GAZelle NEXT van from the Cathedral of Christ the Savior in Moscow all the way to the Alfa Future People electronic music festival just outside of Nizhny Novgorod. First Tim goes through the tiny town of Petushki to visit the Bogdarnya farm where English immigrant cheesemaker John Kopiski makes fromage wonders. Next they stop of at the most a-typical small Russian town there is Sudogda to get a feel for life outside of Russia’s big cities. Next Tim drives to Murom, which many could consider to be Russia’s Smallville. After chomping down on a local kalach, Tim drives over to Vyksa where they make train wheels and massive steel pipes at the Vyksa Metal Works. After a brief snooze at the Delovoi Klub hotel Tim is treated by Vyksa locals to their regional cake which is made at the Nyeobychainoye Cafe in downtown Vyksa. Next Tim drives all the way to Nizhny Novgorod and takes a break to enjoy the view from the hills where the Azimut Hotel is located. After safely parking is 3.5 liter diesel beast, he rides in style to the up-scale Novo Restaurant using a Delimobil which is one of Russia’s most popular car sharing services. After dinner Tim takes to the landlocked “seas” on a yacht at the White River Yacht Club, then finally makes it to the beginning of the Alfa Future People electronic music festival in Bolshoye Kozino in the Nizhegorodskaya Region of Russia.
