In the last few years, the Russian government has opened up enormous areas that for decades have been closed to tourism. In Russia, you can learn about the most interesting and rich history of all small cities and inappreciable treasures of its culture. An enormous artistic value represents the magnificent oldest Russian architectonic sets conserved to the present time and reconstructed in its entire splendours thanks to the efforts of the restaurateurs.
The white stone cathedrals of centuries XII - XIII, are a sample of the old architecture, reunited in the museums outdoors, unique paintings of the temples made by teachers of diverse schools, beautiful creations of applied teachers of art.
Russia is a land of snow and coldest winters, but also of rivers that meander across meadows and a midsummer sun that never sets. You have a chance to explore its land of striking beauty and diversity, from magnificent capitals, Moscow and St. Petersburg, to the measured life of Siberian cities. This is a great country with an array of rivers, forests and towering mountains, it is the adventuresome traveller's dream.
