    Kramatorsk is a smoky industrial city in Donbass, and a major railway junction. According to Google Travel, I can now reach Kramatorsk by rail from Hertfordshire (where I live) in just... 56 hours and 35 minutes. That highly hypothetical trip would entail 11 train changes.

    Petaluma is also well-positioned as a base for the current riches of the region.
