Me and my friend (two guys) were traveling from Moscow to Riga, asked drivers here for the ride to Riga - nobody accepted (BUT maybe you'll be lucky so ask as much as possible). Right after the border on Latvian side there is a good spot to hithc-hike but drivers don't like to stop here. My advice is to walk by the road A12 further. Good luck everybody!

There were road works when I got there, so cars had to slow down. The first two that stopped were going towards Samara, the third took us in the direction of Moscow.

Try to avoid hitchhiking from Moscow to Nizhny Novgorod on a friday....traffic is insane.
While seeing the huge traffic jam going up the hill I tried to get a lift to Nizhny Novgorod from there. After about 20 minutes I just decided to walk along the traffic jam searching eye contact with some driver and stuck out my thumb. That worked pretty well, however walking was the same speed :D TAKE CARE! The hard shoulder can become very dangerous in Russia!

I tried to hitch a ride from somwhere here to moscow. It was quite difficult and I couldn't really find a good place to stand. It's probably best to stand at some of the cross walks. It was also not really worth it to walk on towards the hill to make use of the natural slow down. There's less space and cars are as fast. If you end up here just be patient and within an hour you'll get your lift ;)

From here I hitched a ride to Bologoye to visit Alexey (CS) and have a stopover while hitchhiking from St Petersburg to Moscow.
I didn't have to wait for more than 10 minutes.

got dropped of right here because the driver continued to Veliky Novgorod. I just stayed there and it wasn't too bad. I got into a car which was going to moscow. (I was having a stopover in Bologoye at Alexey's place (CS) which is half way to Moscow. )

Best hitchhiking spot in Moscow direction. Cars are moving slowly after the traffic lights.
From railway station take a trolleybus #10 till the last stop. Or take bus#22 till stop named "Avtorynok moskovkiy". Walk a bit to pass a gas station and you're on the spot!
