For many people Russia is a mysterious country. During the
20th century, it was one of the two greatest forces in the time of the Cold
war and spy novels. Russia also remained inaccessible for the whole world,
hiding its beauty from everyone.
I would like to visit Russia and especially its capital Moscow and the
czarist
town St. Petersburg, because these towns reveal the real essence of the
country. Russia's fast speed of change, its incredible museums . The
keeping of Russian art treasures, castles, telling the Russian history and
legends. The contrasting architecture of the buildings and the kind soul of
the people.
Russia is full of ore, coal and oil-fields and this allows Moscow to be
the
most expensive and the fastest changeable city in the world. It changes with
hours. There have been built new enormous roads and buildings. For example,
the
most successful companies have offices in the city. Moscow's attracks
as a big trade center, but at the same time St. Petersburg saves
its unique historical structures, beautiful castles, museums and bridges over
the River Neva. Everything is in contrast with the concrete non varying
buildings left from the communist period.
Above all, the biggest treasure of Russia is its people. The hospitable
Slavonic
soul is as big as the country. Russia is the motherland of many authors and
scientists. They made the country famous with their works and inventions, and
not for the first time the history has revealed the courage and strength of
the
Russian soldiers.
The power of the country makes other nations respect it. When visiting
Russia
I would like to touch this power, to see its beauty, and to learn its
history. I
hope it will enrich my knowledge and it will enlarge my view for the world.
