Moscow

Moscow – the capital of the Russian Federation and one of the country’s most popular destinations for foreign visitors.

Moscow is one of the largest cities in the world. The city is said to date back eight and a half centuries, with the first references to it in chronicles from 1147. It was built by Suzdal’s Prince Yuri Dolgorukiy on the sweeping curve of the Moskva River. From its humble beginning as a hunting village, it grew steadily into a fortress city, to become later the central point of the whole Russian state.

Russia’s most intense human aspirations, be they artistic, religious or political, have found their most passionate expression in Moscow. The reflection of these aspirations can be seen in the beautiful architecture created over several centuries, particularly in Moscow’s symbols - the Kremlin, the Red Square and St. Basil’s Cathedral.

Moscow has grown rapidly over the past decades, and, as a result, comprises high-rise suburbs surrounding a relatively compact historic centre with fascinating ancient architecture.

Today’s Moscow is a dynamically changing and eclectic city where the history and the present are deeply intertwined. Moscow is a cultural centre of global value. There are more than 70 theatres here, the best known being the Bolshoi Theatre. The richest collections of paintings, graphic art and sculpture are gathered in nearly a hundred museums. Among them are the well known Tretyakov Picture Gallery and the Pushkin Museum of Fine Arts. There is also a great number of concert halls, cinemas and exhibition pavilions in the city.

Apart from being a major political player on the world stage, Moscow is also an extremely popular city for business and tourism.

Moscow is a land of over 100 separate nationalities, from Tuvans to Kalmyks and Chukchi to Circassians, as well as the Russians themselves. A true Muscovite is a rare individual indeed. 

But whatever their origin, the ten or so million inhabitants of Moscow are proud of their city, for all its eccentricities and hardships.

Saint Petersburg

St. Petersburg is the second largest city in Russia and one of the world’s major cities, which has more to offer than just the Hermitage Museum and the Kirov Ballet. It is one of the biggest cultural centres in the world, a city with an exceptionally rich history, centuries old traditions and a promising future. Almost all basic trends in the world and Russian architecture of the 18th-20th centuries are represented in St. Petersburg.

St. Petersburg has played a vital role in both Russian and European history. Founded by Peter the Great in 1703 it was the capital of the Russian Empire for two centuries. He crafted the world’s most fascinating city on more than 45 islands, modelling it in a French style by employing the world’s greatest architects. The islands are connected by more than 342 bridges, of which 21 are raised at night. This gives the city its name ‘The Venice of the North’. The city has changed its name three times: St. Petersburg (1703-1914), Petrograd (1914-1924), Leningrad (1924-1991) and St. Petersburg again from 1991.

Among the majestic memorials, you can feel the breath of intellectual life, which was brought into St. Petersburg by Peter the Great. The most famous professors, such as Leibnitz from Germany, worked on a project for the creation of the Science Academy and other institutes.

 Today St. Petersburg is ranked alongside Paris and Rome as one of the most beautiful cities in the world. It is impossible to think about St. Petersburg without the magnificent palace-and park ensembles that surround the city. Luxurious suburb residences stretch out along the coast of the Finnish Gulf and in the valleys of rivers and lakes. Poetic beauty of Russian nature together with solemn grandeur of architectonic monuments of various styles and different historical epochs create the marvellous world of harmony and art.
