“What we will witness today is an extraordinary event for the entire country […] This is a symbolic event for Russia, even a somewhat historic event, because Russia, the country with the largest landmass in the world, for the first time in its history will have a road network that stretches its entire length. Never before has the entire country been fully connected by motorway.”
