Why visit Russia

By: Roberto Bell

Lately when I was in Africa, someone asked me - why should one go to Russia? I immediately answered - because it is one of the most amazing countries on in the world! But, then I understood that not everyone would instantly get it and that I need to explain what would visitors find were they to pay a visit to Russia.

Moscow has so much to offer the guests. The two greatest cities of Russia, Moscow and St. Petersburg, are some of the most historically rich cities on our planet.

St Petersburg boasts amazing churches, ancient streets and beautiful canals. Some people refer to this city as the Venice of the North. So many great artists, writers and musicians like Shostakovich had lived and worked here and loved their every moment. The Mariinsky theatre is home to world famous ballet. If you could only visit the city for a weekend you would remember it for all of your life. There is so much to see here. You could take a boat ride out to the amazing fountains at the Peterhof palace.

Moscow is much bigger than St. Petersburg, but it is equally cool place to visit. The Kremlin and Red Square with the glorious quintessentially Russian onion-domed St Basils cathedral. Russia’s largest city does not have a concentrated historic centre like St Petersburg, but there are historic treasures spread out across this vast city like the Tetriakov gallery. It is also an incredibly vibrant modern city that is now really buzzing with the new wealth and culture that has sprung up in the last decade. Moscow also has some of the best restaurants and bars in the world.

Those two cities alone are enough of a reason to have a trip to Russia, the largest country in the world. Yet there is much, much more to Russia than this. Outside Moscow and St Petersburg there is an amazing country that even us, the locals, just begin to explore. Russia is a huge country, and features fantastic scenery and a wealth of castles. There is nowhere in the world a lake so deep, so mysterious and beautiful, and so blessed by an absolutely unique range of wildlife as Lake Baikal. There is nothing like Altai.

When in Russia, there are so many things that you could do. You could take a troika ride across the snow in winter.

These are just some of the reasons why you should go on a trip to Russia. Sometimes I wish I could keep Russia all to myself, just like Catherine the Great kept Hermitage closed to everyone. But I know it is time open up Russia to the West. Be among the first to discover the magic of Russia.

  • The Debt that Needs to Be Paid By: ann7 - We are all born sinners. That means that we all owe God something in order to become whole.

  • How To Write Great Funeral Speeches By: Gen Wright - There are many reasons why even the most accomplished writers find writing funeral speeches difficult. For one, it is not everyday that a writer is given the responsibility to write a funeral speech. So there is no previous experience to draw upon. Neither is there any kind of "industry standard" that helps define what is a good or bad funeral speech.

  • Religious Stew - PC Poison in the Pot By: Rev Michael Bresciani - When Jesus asked a crowd of people who felt their religion justified them about what he would find at his second coming he said “Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?” (Luke 18:8) No one in the crowd answered him because the answer is understood. The answer is of course; no! So what replaces faith, what could possibly pre-empt faith in the gospel.
