Moscow
Hab. 12,737,400
Moscow is a fascinating metropolis. Geographically, it lies on the banks of the River Moskva, on the Eastern European Plain. It is renowned for its rich history, stunning architecture—such as Red Square and St Basil’s Cathedral—and a vibrant cultural scene that attracts visitors from all over the world.
St Petersburg
Hab. 5,597,340
St Petersburg, a majestic city, stands in the Neva River delta. Founded by Peter the Great, it was once the imperial capital and is renowned for its Baroque and Neoclassical architecture. It is home to the Hermitage Museum, a cultural gem, and iconic sites such as the Church of the Saviour on Spilled Blood.
Novosibirsk
Hab. 1,706,660
Novosibirsk, located in Siberia, is Russia’s third-largest city and an important geographical hub. Situated on the banks of the Ob River, it is known for its extreme continental climate. Among its attractions are the Opera and Ballet Theatre, famous throughout the country, and the Railway Museum, which displays historic locomotives.
Kimzha
Hab. 99
On the banks of the river of the same name lies Kimzha; a village that had no road until 2008 and which, perhaps for that very reason, keeps the spirit of rural Russia alive. The houses there are all built of sturdy logs; there are ancient mills and a fine example of Russian wooden church architecture.
The Urals
The Urals are a mountain range running north to south that divides the European and Asian continents, as well as European Russia (which accounts for 78% of the Russian population on 28% of the territory) and Asian Russia. They are not particularly high mountains, and their highest peak is Mount Narodnaya at 1,895 metres.
Russian Arctic
The entire Russian northern coastline (around 7,000 km) borders the Arctic Ocean. This ocean is covered in ice all year round. This makes maritime transport difficult (it can only be navigated with icebreakers) or impossible. However, climatic conditions are changing and, according to experts, the Arctic Ocean may become navigable within a few decades.
Siberia
Siberia is a vast geographical region stretching from the Urals to the Pacific, characterised by extreme cold and the taiga – endless forests, usually of conifers.
