Russia

By Hussein Dehghan

Moscow Impression

The large and hectic capital of the largest country in the world is home to seven similar communist buildings which are striking. You can even stay in one of them (https://www.radissonblu.com/en/royalhotel-moscow). The city is filled with great churches and museums aside from the charm and sophistication of visiting Kremlin and Red sq. as well as the Metro stations. The one museum I adore is the museum of Cosmonautics displaying the air and space explorations which is eye-opening and does not happen very often to see such stuff.

St Petersburg Impression

Compared to Moscow it is a fairly small city but offer a lot in the outskirts and surrounding like Pushkin village. It was once the capital when Peter the great ruled Russia in early 18th century. Neva river and the bridges in June add beauty to the white nights.
