There are clearly multiple ways to leave Vladimir, and the way I took wasn’t  the most obvious one.

If you’re too lazy to walk for 3 km, you can try to stop a car right after the last bus stop, for me it worked to walk the way and try to stop cars during my little stroll; After 10 minutes I found a helpful person and he took me to this specific cloverleaf-junction.
