Russia impresses with its diversity and size. It is the largest country in the world that can be nominally divided into two main
parts - western and eastern. Russia stretches across parts of two continents; it is situated in the eastern part of Europe and northern
part of Asia. The territory of Russia spans through 11 times zones. Its climate ranges from arctic in the north to generally temperate in the south.
Russia today is the nation of enormous diversity and great vitality. It looks like re-awakening of the cultural traditions of the past
with a new strength - ancient cathedrals are being rebuilt and restored, brisk and colourful markets are being developed once again,
literature and arts are quickly regaining the creative renown they enjoyed decades ago.
For most foreigners, Russia is associated with its main cities – Moscow and St. Petersburg. These great and ancient cities can be
called the heartland of Imperial Russia. However there is much more in a country that spans two continents. Within this vast expanse
lie the largest freshwater lake in the world (Lake Baikal), rivers and forests teeming with fish and wildlife, volcanoes inspiring awe, and towering mountains.
Combining features of Western civilization with Asian philosophical approach to life this country has an enigma inside itself.
That is why Russia remains a must-see destination for tourists from all over the world for many years.
