The governor of the Astrakhan region, Igor Babushkin, told that the Kagan Gold Baja, which is a stage of the Russian rally-raid championship, is taking place amid increased security measures.
On Saturday, a stage of the Russian rally-raid championship – Baja “Kagan’s Gold” – departed from Astrakhan. The race will last until April 23.
— Astrakhan is considered the capital of rally raids in Russia. What do you think of this honorary title for the region?
“This is not our assessment, but that of professionals, our friends from the KAMAZ-master team.” It is generally said that our routes in Astrakhan are much steeper, more difficult and more interesting than the Dakar, which takes place in Saudi Arabia.
It is believed that the winner of the Kagan Gold will definitely win the Dakar in the future. It is truly an honor for us that such a large number of participants gather at the stadium of the Russian Championship.
— Were there any difficulties during the organization?
– None. Everything has been settled for a long time, this is not our first season.
— Have security measures been strengthened?
“They are still reinforced, our regime is operating on alert,” Babushkin told .
