Russia Information
Russia (Russian , transliteration Rossiya)
- more fully known as the Russian Federation,
transliteration Rossiyskaya Federatsiya)
- is a vast country in Eastern Europe
and northern Asia. Russia has both extensive
Arctic Ocean and North Pacific Ocean coastlines,
as well as smaller coastlines on the Baltic,
Black and Caspian Seas. Russia is bordered
by Norway and Finland to the northwest,
Estonia, Latvia, Poland, Belarus and Ukraine
to the west, Georgia and Azerbaijan to
the southwest, Kazakhstan, China and Mongolia
to the south, and China and North Korea
to the southeast. The American state of
Alaska lies opposite the easternmost point
of Russia across the Bering Strait.
Russia also administers the exclave of
Kaliningrad Oblast on the Baltic coast
between Poland and Lithuania.
Russia is the largest country in the
world by far; spanning twelve time zones,
its territory covers nearly twice as much
of the earth as that of the next largest
country, Canada. Despite its massive size,
much of the country lacks proper soils
and climates (either too cold or too dry)
for agriculture. Mount Elbrus (Gora El'brus),
at 5,633 m, is Europe's, and Russia's,
tallest peak.
Cities
Some of the best known Russian cities with
their Anglicized and Russian Cyrillic names.
-
Moscow — Russia's gargantuan
capital is rightfully one of the world's
top travel destinations
-
Irkutsk— the world's
favorite Siberian city, located within an
hour of Lake Baikal
-
Nizhny Novgorod — often
overlooked despite being one of the largest
cities in Russia, Nizhny Novgorod is well
worth a visit for its kremlin, Sakharov
museum, and nearby Makaryev Monastery
-
Novgorod — known to
Russians as "Novgorod the Great,"
this is one of Russia's most historic cities,
home to St Sophia Monastery, and is now
a charming university town
-
Saint Petersburg Russia's
cultural and former political capital is
home to the Hermitage, arguably the world's
best museum, and the city center is a living
open air museum in its own right, making
this city one of the world's top travel
destinations
-
Vladimir — a historic
architectural gem of a small city, perhaps
the centerpiece of Russia's Golden Ring
-
Vladivostok— often
referred to (somewhat ironically) as "Russia's
San Francisco," full of hilly streets
and battleships, this is Russia's principal
Pacific city and the terminus of the Trans-Siberian
Railway
-
Yekaterinburg — the
center of the Urals region and one of Russia's
principal cultural centers is a good stop
on the Trans-Siberian Railway and an arrival
point for visitors to the Urals
