Russian Language Courses in Russia
Russia rivals Africa for the label 'the dark continent'. It is
almost as vast and undiscovered and our notions of everyday life
in Russia are hazy at best. But the sheer amount of cultural treasures
and unique architecture, which have survived changing regimes and
politically imposed aesthetics, turns Russia into a highly attractive
travel destination. Moscow
is well worth a visit even though it is mostly administrative hub,
St. Petersburg
is Russia's cultural hotspot and the hinterland is extensive, to
say the least. Novgorod has been an artistic centre for several
hundreds of years with a correlating amount of impressive architecture
and art treasures.
Russia's history is a contested one and many of its sights refer
either to the Russia of the Tzars, the Russian revolution or ensuing
communism.
One of the most attractive ways to travel in Russia is taking the
Trans-Siberian Railway from Moscow to Vladivostok at the
Pacific coast. A ride on this train is almost a mythical experience
and a wonderful way to discover Russian in great detail. It also
the best way to see Russia's breathtaking scenery like Lake Baikal
with its pristine beauty, the wilderness of Ural mountains or vast
expanses of Siberia.
