Sights of Russia

Lena Pillars

The Lena Pillars are vertical rock formations that stretch 40 kilometres along the banks of the Lena River in Yakutia. They date back to the early Cambrian period (530 million years ago). From afar they appear to form a solid wall that descends into the river. Harsh yet magnificent, their incredible beauty is truly mesmerising.

Solovetsky Islands

The Solovetsky Archipelago includes six islands with a total area of 300 sq. km and is located in the White Sea, 250 km from Arkhangelsk. This area is rich in archaeological monuments, the oldest of which date back to the 2nd and 3rd millennia BC. One of the main sights here is the Solovetsky Monastery, which was established in the first half of the 15th century. In the early 20th century, this centuries-old citadel of Orthodoxy was converted into a camp for political prisoners that existed until 1939. It was only in the nineties that monastic life resumed here. The Solovetsky Archipelago, which is now a historical and cultural reserve, is fascinating not only because of its dramatic history, but also because of its unusual landscape, including hills, lakes, and gullies. 

Sights of Russia

There are many interesting places in Russia: monuments, museums, which are situated in provinces, where creative and talented people live.

Moscow Kremlin and Red Square

This is a symbol of the whole country, not just Moscow. The Kremlin is the oldest part of the city where Grand Prince Yury Dolgorukiy built a fortress that was first mentioned in the chronicles in 1147. The Kremlin houses a complex of 15th-19th-century buildings, including the Grand Kremlin Palace, Armory Chamber, the Senate, the current official residence of the Russian president, churches, and examples of Russian cast work such as the Tsar Cannon and the Tsar Bell. Red Square, which dates back to the 14th century, is home to Saint Basil's Cathedral, the State Historical Museum, and the Lenin Mausoleum, the resting place of Bolshevik leader Vladimir Lenin.

Historical Centre of Saint Petersburg

Saint Petersburg is one of the most beautiful cities in the world, primarily due to its unique architecture. Its historical centre and suburbs are known throughout the world for their outstanding architectural monuments, with palaces and cathedrals built by Russian and Italian masters from the 18th and 19th centuries. Must-see sights include the Peter and Paul Fortress, the Peter and Paul Cathedral, the Kunstkammer Museum, Peter I's Summer Palace, the Winter Palace, Smolny Monastery, the Hermitage, the Academy of Sciences, the Academy of Arts, the Marble Palace, the Taurida Palace, the Anichkov Palace, the Kazan and St. Isaac's Cathedrals, the Spit of Vasilyevsky Island, Palace Square, and Nevsky Prospect.

In addition to the historical centre of Saint Petersburg, UNESCO also protects palaces and parks in its suburbs, with the palace in Peterhof arguably the most magnificent of them all.

Kashirin House (Maxim Gorky Childhood Museum)

Well, even if you got no idea of who Maxim Gorky was and why the city was bearing his name for quite a while under the soviets, it`s still worth visiting especially with children or teens, to see how people actually lived in this area somewhere in early 19th century, it`s a wooden house of Max Gorky grandad, an owner of a dye house which was the their family business at that time, a modest if not poor wooden house with well-preserved interior will tell you things you can`t really grasp from books, since you need a picture - life was hard, and there you see how hard it was, which makes us understand why a little boy Maxim, grown in this kind of environment had such a passion for books, education and social changes later in life.

Gorodets town

Gorodets is an ancient city in the Nizhny Novgorod region on the Northern Bank of the Volga river, 60 kilometers from Nizhny Novgorod. The city is small, its population is just over 30 thousand people, but it is very popular with tourists and travelers due to the monuments of the past, the picturesque area and the cozy atmosphere of quiet streets. It is most often visited as an excursion destination from Nizhny Novgorod, but you can come here on your own for one or several days in order to get acquainted with the sights, beach holidays on the banks of the Volga, active winter recreation.

Thanks to the rich artistic heritage and architecture, the proud man deservedly received the unofficial nickname "Maly Kitezh". In addition to the fact that there are many monuments of architecture and history, there is a whole museum quarter in the city. Quiet streets abound with well-preserved stone houses of merchant construction and wooden mansions decorated with carvings. From the embankment, a favorite place for locals to walk, there is a breathtaking view of the Volga region and the Nizhny Novgorod hydroelectric power station, whose dams are the longest in Russia. All this attracts history buffs of all ages.

Gorodets left us a rich artistic heritage: "deaf" wood carving, gorodets painting, carved gingerbread boards, gold embroidery, handwritten books, gorodets toys. Every third Saturday of July there are regional festivals "Gorodets — Museum capital" and "Masters of folk Brotherhood". In summer, a festival of historical reconstruction is organized with the reproduction of medieval life and battles

A little history

Already in the chronicles of 1171 there are mentions of Gorodets as a formed fortress city founded by Yuri Dolgoruky. The history of the settlement is saturated with successive periods of prosperity and desolation. Since the 12th century, it has served as a bulwark of protection of Vladimir Russia from the neighborhood of the Volga Bulgars. After the ruin in 1408, the city was in complete ruin until the 18th century. In the 19th century, it turned into a major industrial, commercial and business center. During this period, factories, a tannery, and a steam mill were actively built here. At the same time, prosperous merchant houses appear, many of which have survived to the present in their original form.

Rest in Gorodets

Gorodets can be visited as a day trip or during a short trip for several days. There will be nothing to do here for longer than two full days. It is difficult to call it a tourist-developed place, but everything you need for a short stay in order to explore the local attractions is available. And there is something to see here.

Thanks to its rich artistic heritage and architecture, Gorodets deservedly received the unofficial nickname "Maly Kitezh". In addition to the fact that there are many monuments of architecture and history, there is a whole museum complex of 7 historical and thematic museums in the city, called the "Museum Quarter". The quiet streets of the historical part abound with perfectly preserved stone houses of merchant buildings and wooden mansions decorated with carvings. From the embankment, a favorite place for locals to walk, there is a breathtaking view of the Volga region and the Nizhny Novgorod hydroelectric power station, whose dams are the longest in Russia. All this attracts history lovers of all ages here.

Gorodets also left us a rich artistic heritage: "deaf" house wood carving, Gorodets painting, carved gingerbread boards, gold embroidery, handwritten books, Gorodets toy. Every year, every third Saturday in July, the regional festivals "Gorodets — Museum Capital" and "Masters of Folk Brotherhood" are held here. In summer, a festival of historical reconstruction is organized with the reproduction of medieval life and the conduct of battles.

There are clean beaches in and near Gorodets. Of these, the "White River", located 10 km from the city beach, is of interest to outdoor enthusiasts. In summer, water activities are offered here: water skiing, "tablets", "bananas", jet skis, and in winter, snowboards and skis are rented.

Lake Svetloyar

Lake Svetloyar is one of the most mysterious lakes in the Nizhny Novgorod region and in Russia as a whole. The lake has an almost perfect oval shape of 470 by 350 meters, the water in it is always clean and transparent. It has a great depth - 33.4 meters. It is considered a holy place.

There are many legends associated with the lake. One of them, because of which the lake is called the little Russian Atlantis– is that the legendary city of Kitezh plunged into the waters of the lake. As this legend says, Kitezh-Grad was built by Grand Duke Georgy Vsevolodovich after he built the city of Maly Kitezh (today Gorodets). Moreover, the city was built without any fortifications, despite the danger of the invasion of Batu troops. When the Tatar conquerors approached the walls of Kitezh-Grad, the inhabitants prayed to God for salvation, and then the city was completely submerged under water. But the city did not die. According to legend, he is still intact today, and from the depths of the lake you can sometimes hear the bell ringing, and in the clear waters of Svetloyar and fog you can see its image.

But even if you don't believe in beautiful legends, there are plenty of mysteries at the lake. Until now, scientists have not come to a consensus about its origin, but today the predominant version of its origin is cosmic, i.e. it is believed that it was formed due to a meteorite that fell here about three thousand smoulders ago. There are also versions of the hypothesis of glacial, karst, ancient, volcanic, neotectonic and salt dome origin. It is also not clear why the water in the lake always remains clean and fresh, never overgrown with mud. Water from Svetloyar can be stored in a vessel for many years without losing purity, transparency and taste qualities.

Now the lake is a holy place, and a monument of nature of federal significance. The area around is nature-protected: you can not put up tents, chop down trees, light fires, litter, fish. It is possible to swim in the lake, although historically it was impossible to do this here, you can only bathe in its waters.
