Russky Island Bridge over the Eastern Bosporus in Vladivostok (Russia) painted by Roman Bayánov

 I'm torn apart, I'm losing my heart,
I'm squeezing a lucky ticket to there,
Where I was hurrying so much from...
Perhaps, (I) stumbled...
Well, what should I change?

I am so sorry, my love,
I definitely know, (that I) won't forget you
I am so sorry and at sunrise
I'll fly Moscow-Vladivostok

From the song Moscow-Vladivostok

Bridge to the Russky Island over the Eastern Bosphorus strait in Vladivostok (Russia)

Defying the doubters, the world's longest cable-stayed bridge opened to regular motorists on Wednesday across the Bosphorus East Strait.The Russky Island Bridge has been portrayed as another attempt by Pacific port Vladivostok to be seen as Russia's San Francisco, and the estimated $1.1 billion engineering creation is destined to become the city's signature. To critics is is an expensive folly, a 'bridge to nowhere', serving an island where only 5,000 people live, but to supporters it symbolises nothing less than the coming economic rebirth of the Russian Far East.

Zolotoy Bridge across the Zolotoy Rog Bay (Golden Horn Bay) in Vladivostok (Russia)

The new cable-stayed bridges that were built in Vladivostok ahead of the 2012 APEC summit got their names on Wednesday. The longest bridge, which links mainland Vladivostok to the Russky Island across the Eastern Bosporus Strait, was called ‘Russky’. Another bridge across the Zolotoy Rog Bay was named ‘Zolotoy’.
