| − | '''Pskov Oblast''' (Russian: Псковская область, ''Pskovskaya oblast'') borders the [[European Union]] countries of [[Estonia]] and [[Latvia]], as well as [[Belarus]]. It is the westernmost federal subject of contiguous [[Russia]] (i.e. excluding the exclave of Kaliningrad Oblast). Its major cities are [[Pskov]] (pop. 202,000) and [[Velikiye Luki]] (pop. 104,000).

| − | Hitchhikers coming from [[Europe]] might pass this oblast on their way into Russia. The main road from Latvia to [[St. Petersburg]], passing Pksov, is easy to hitchhike (even at night) because there is a lot of [[TIR]] traffic. However the main road towards [[Moscow]] has pretty low traffic between the Latvian border and Velikiye Luki, especially at night. This mainly because Russian TIR traffic from Europe is generally taking the shorter way through Belarus.

| − | In general, hitchhiking in this oblast is pretty easy. Consider hitchhiking short rides as well, as many people might not go further than around fifty kilometers.
