It is difficult to imagine something more complex, heterogeneous and multifaceted to describe than the vast immense Russia . There is once a metropolitan, and in a strict spirit and refined architecture, the still remaining official bureaucrat St. Petersburg . And a wide merchant, always dashingly scamming still famous for its domes at the head of the Ivan the Great Bell Tower, now the capital of Moscow . And the cradle of Russian statehood is ancient Veliky Novgorod, and the ever-military frontier Pskov, the Volga Yaroslavl, Kazan and the famous "pocket of Russia" Novgorod Nizhny Novgorod . As well as the great Siberian expanses with a variety of natural attractions and ancient cities, Far Eastern borders seem to be completely inaccessible, so rich in beauty, if and severe climate . Russia is so great and diverse that everyone will find here something interesting just for yourself .

For someone it is the endless expanses of the steppes, the greenery of the taiga, blooming in the spring of the tundra . Others like the large cities rich in architectural monuments, life in which does not freeze for a minute . And who maybe sending tsya to conquer the little-investigated villages and remote towns, keep the spirit of bygone times . But you never know what else you can do on the expanse from the Baltic to the Pacific Ocean ?! Speaking of Russia, it's impossible not to use turn-rounds and cliches, but they became stamps because they are absolutely true .
