Vassily Serotteto, a Nenets herder from the Yamal peninsula described the journey,
 
“First we drive to Murmansk, theny we fly to Moscow the next day. After that there is a flight to Salekhard and then Nyadma (Khudi, another Nenets herders) and I will find a helictopter that will take us back to our reindeer and families. It will take about 3-4 days.”
