About Russia

Versatility and uniqueness

Russia is a unique land combining tradition and modernity, snow—capped landscapes and sea breezes, the northern lights and the hot southern sun, ancient historical fortresses and modern high-tech skyscrapers.

This is an amazing ecosystem that combines Eastern calm contemplation and Western desire for transformation. This fusion of opposites allows everyone to find their place here.

From antiquity to the present

The history of Russia goes back more than ten centuries. The path from Ancient Russia to the Russian Federation enriched the country's culture, transformed the national philosophy of life, thinking and cognition, while the country continues to honor long-standing traditions and values.

Wide open spaces

The vast expanses of Russia stretch for many thousands of kilometers. Each region has its own special feature that attracts travelers from all over the world. The nature of Russia combines endless green flower meadows, breathtaking mountain peaks, sea beaches drenched in the hot summer sun, and dense taiga forests smoothly turning into majestic snowfields of the north — here everyone will find a place that will resonate in the heart.

Cities of Russia

Russia has both modern megacities and historical centers — some of them are older than the capital, and each of their streets colorfully tells the story of the city and the country. High technologies and advanced communications are organically woven into a network of architectural and historical monuments and masterpieces of world art.

In one city you can see ancient buildings, solemn Baroque palaces, monumental buildings of the XX century, and modern buildings equipped with advanced technologies. These unique combinations create a unique atmosphere of Russian cities.

Most cities are equipped with the latest transport systems, which makes it convenient and fast to get from one end of the city to the opposite. Intercity communication allows you to visit other regions of the country in a short time and discover many unique cities with their own history.
