About

For centuries the world has wondered what to believe about RUSSIA. The country has been reported variously as a land of unbelievable riches and indescribable poverty, cruel tyrants and great minds, generous hospitality and meddlesome bureaucracy, beautiful ballets and industrial monstrosities, pious faith and unbridled hedonism. These eternal Russian truths coexist in equally diverse landscapes of icy tundra and sun-kissed beaches, dense silver birch and fir forests and deep and mysterious lakes, snow-capped mountains and swaying grasslands or those famous steppes. Factor in ancient fortresses, luxurious palaces, swirly-spired churches and lost-in-time wooden villages and you’ll begin to see why Russia is simply amazing.

Russia is not only the largest country of the world, but also a country of vast geographical distances and cultural differences. The Russian Far East, alone is the size of Europe. It would be sensible to view Russia as a collection of countries, each one deserving exploration. West of the Ural mountains is European Russia, bustling with cultural and architectural masterpieces. The vast spaces of Siberia and the Far East is where Russia’s great outdoors, come alive with top ski resorts and raft-friendly rivers.

For a land that lay hidden behind the Iron Curtain for decades. Russia goes beyond the grandeur of Moscow and the grace of St.Petersburg. The intricately detailed cathedrals, historic monuments, age-old treasures and romantic landscapes of this great nation make Russia very enigmatic. Honestly, it’s hard to describe this gigantic land. Awe-inspiring would be an understatement.
