Russia has for many years been a land of mystery and intrigue to Westerners.

It is a miraculous country and still mysterious to many foreigners, with many cultural and historic treasures, unspoiled nature; and industrious, bright and hospitable people.

Russia is geographically enormous, far larger than Canada or the United States. It is still the biggest country in the world, stretching from Poland to Korea and from the Polar Regions to the deserts of Asia. It is also the country with the most number of neighbors in the world.

The country spans eleven time zones and two continents, ending less than 50 miles from North America. Within this vast expanse lie the deepest freshwater lake in the world, rivers and forests teeming with fish and wildlife, awe inspiring volcanos, and towering mountains. Russia is the largest country on earth, with enormous tracts of land that have been opened to travellers only in the last few years.
