: 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.
