The report notes that it is quite easy to prepare the bus-church for its designated purpose: administering church services. One only needs to open the roof hatch and install the dome, everything inside is already equipped.
The bus arrived at the youth forum from the small Tatar city of Zainsk having covered the distance of 1100 kilometers.
