Pevek is the northernmost city in Russia (31 photos)
Pevek is the northernmost city in Russia. Previously, 25 thousand people lived here, but now only two and a half remain. Life here is expensive and boring. There are only 2 cafes in the whole city, and even then one is already dying. There are no cinemas or nightclubs here. The city lives from plane to plane, which arrive here every couple of weeks. Everyone knows when the plane is coming because it means there will be fresh food in the store. The prices here are astronomical, despite the fact that the salary, for example, of a waitress is 25-30 thousand rubles. Locals said that a three-room apartment here is exchanged for a ticket to Moscow...

31. We stayed in Pevek for 3 days and then flew away on a transport IL-76, which brought equipment for gold diggers here. I managed to get a lot of hair during the 3+ weeks of the trip. The first thing I did when I returned to Moscow was to shave everything off, after the children had touched
