Russians are enthusiastic and bold. This vast land has created a broad and open mind. The long winter has made Russians full of love for nature. They use music and dance to express their inner enthusiasm for life. Russians are also delicate and sentimental, otherwise they would not have created such brilliant artistic treasures and such wonderful literary works that shocked the soul. I have to say that the Russian nation is a great nation.
Russia is a country rich in tourism resources. Moscow's Red Square and the majestic Kremlin have long been world-famous. St Petersburg is an elegant and romantic city. The quiet and wide neva river and criss-crossing ancient canals constitute the city's water network system, and exquisite bridges abound, which is known as "Venice in the North". In Russia, you can also see the deepest and purest Lake Baikal in the world, or take a train through the dense and far-reaching Siberian forest to see the beautiful scenery of the Black Sea. You can take a cultural trip, watch a ballet performance at Mariinsky Theatre, or go to tretyakov Art Museum to see those masterpieces handed down from generation to generation. Of course, the most important thing you can't miss is the exhibits that have been collected in the East Palace for more than 2 years and may never be seen ... However, objectively speaking, the tourist facilities in Russia are not so satisfactory, but compared with the beautiful scenery and cultural heritage of Russia, this unsatisfactory point is really insignificant.
Aviation:
The largest airport in Russia is Sheremetyev -2 International Airport in Moscow, with direct flights from Beijing, Shanghai, Harbin and Urumqi.
Railway:
Railway is the main means of transportation in Russia. The railway network with Moscow and St. Petersburg as the center extends in all directions, so you can easily travel on the European plain in Russia. The main railway in Asia is trans-siberian railway, starting from Vladivostok in the east and reaching Yekaterinburg in the west.
China tourists can take the "Beijing-Moscow" international train from Beijing to Russia by train, or they can take the train from Inner Mongolia or Heilongjiang.
Local transportation:
In Russia, besides trams, trolleybuses and buses, taxis are also indispensable daily transportation. Regular taxis have a "T" sign, and the general body is yellow. Before getting off, don't forget to tip the driver, which is generally one tenth of the fare. Of course, some private cars attract business, because passengers can bargain with drivers, and the cost is naturally lower than that of regular cars.
The bus fare is relatively cheap, and you can buy tickets in advance, at least 1 tickets; If you buy it on the bus, it will be more expensive.
Traveling to Moscow and taking the local subway is not only for the convenience of transportation, but also because the subway platform in Moscow is simply an art palace. Moscow Metro has 8 lines and 12 platforms, and each platform has its own characteristics, especially the platform built in the early days. After careful design and luxurious decoration by architects and artists, it is as dazzling as a palace.
Transportation costs:
Trams, trolleybuses and buses are all 6 rubles
Subway fares are 7 rubles
minibus fares are 7-12 rubles
Taxi fares are 1 rubles/kilometer. However, there are few taxis, and private car is the main form of taxi, so you should bargain.
main airport telephone number:
Sheremetyev -2 international airport 578-7518, 956-4666

. Later, on this basis, Russia, Ukraine and Belarus were formed. In the 13th century, Mongolian Tatars occupied Russia. After two and a half centuries of struggle, in 148, the Russians finally drove away the Mongolian Tatars.
in the middle of 16th century, when Russia entered tsarist Russia, many nationalities in Volga valley, Urals, northern Siberia and the Far East were successively classified into Russia.
in the 18th century, after Peter I became czar, Russia became a huge empire spanning Europe and Asia, and entered an unprecedented period of prosperity. The Northern War with Sweden from 17 to 1721 enabled Peter I to gain access to the Baltic Sea, and in 1721, he officially changed his name to "Russian Empire". After that, during the rule of Yekaterina II and Alexander I, Russia continued its territorial expansion.
in p>1917, the famous "October Revolution" broke out in Russia. On January 23, 1918, the Russian Soviet Socialist Republic (the Soviet Union for short) was established, which was the first socialist country in human history. From 1941 to 1945, after four years of Great Patriotic War, the people of the Soviet Union effectively crushed the attempt of German fascists to dominate the world and made important contributions to world peace. From the post-war to the 197s, the Soviet Union's economic and military strength developed rapidly, and it was tied with the United States as two superpowers.
In June p>1991, Yeltsin was elected as the first president of the Russian Federation. On December 21st of the same year, the Soviet Union disintegrated and Russia became a completely independent country. In March 2, Putin was elected as the second president of the Russian Federation.
Culture
There are about 3 professional theaters in Russia. About half of them are theaters, and some are puppets or minority theaters. The most luxurious opera houses in Russia are the Moscow Grand Theatre and the Kirov Opera House in Petrograd. These two opera houses have staged many operas, with exquisite costumes, scenery and spectacular stage effects, which are deeply loved by the audience. The reserved programs include operas from Glinka to ProGao Fei and Mulally, as well as standard Italian operas and some French operas. All operas are sung in Russian. Pokrovski, director of the Grand Opera House, is one of the six best opera directors in the world. In music, many Russian soloists have won worldwide fame, but their orchestras have little international influence. In terms of dance, Russian ballet took the lead in the world at the beginning of the 2th century. In St. Petersburg, Malinsky is the center of attention, and his ballet school has trained many famous dancers since the beginning of the 2th century. At present, the leading dance company in Russia is the Ballet of Moscow Grand Theatre, but its dance form lacks flexibility and creativity. Russian film industry is relatively developed, such as Battleship potemkin, Mother and Land, which are all immortal masterpieces in the world film history.
The best time to travel
The climate in different parts of Russia is very different: the climate in Eastern Europe is mild, with warm summer and no severe cold in winter; The winter in Siberia is very cold, and the lowest temperature can reach MINUS 7 degrees; Due to the high latitude in most parts of Russia, generally speaking, the climate is mainly cold and dry.
The best time to travel in Russia is from May to October. At this time, Russia is cool and pleasant, and it is most suitable for summer vacation. Of course, Russia in winter also has its unique charm. Imagine walking on the streets of St. Petersburg at MINUS 2℃, surrounded by silver makeup and snow. How can such a snow scene not be desirable? And this is also a good time to go skiing and hunting in Russia.
Festivals
The Russian nation is a passionate and unrestrained nation, and there will naturally be many festivals:

Easter, the first Sunday of the first full moon after the Spring Festival, is a festival with a strong religious atmosphere.
Army Day, February 22nd. Different from China, Army Day is actually a disturbing festival in Russia, because on this day, soldiers and young people often drink too much and make trouble on this day.
Women's Day on March 8th is a festival that Russians attach great importance to. On that day, the price of roses will even exceed that of Valentine's Day.
On May Day, there are parades and rallies every year.
