Remember that catchy song ‘Malchik khochet v Tambov’ (the boy wants to go to Tambov) from the 1990s? Nobody ever found out who the boy was or why he wanted to go there, but more than two decades later I decided to make the trip myself and see what all the fuss was about. Yes, I caught an overnight train to Tambov to see the sights, and maybe even catch a glimpse of the famous Tambov wolf (he’s your friend). Join me!
