Next to the station there are 2 shops that also accept payment in rubles, even if not at the exchange rate, but generally profitable, a small station building, gazebos, benches, in general, the border guards are kind, but there are a couple of copies that feel like Rimbaud and are ready to shoot because of one sideways glance, they got to the guy because the smell of alcohol, they say, we will remove the passenger from the train, we will call him, although no matter how he stood straight, was not rude, behaved calmly, in any case it is better not to enter into conflicts, there will be no problems later.
The station is small, 2 grocery stores,cigarettes are cheaper than in Kuzbass, cognac is 350 rubles.We lived there for 3 weeks, there are steppes all around, there is no forest like ours.
