Russia is impossible to summarize. How does one sum up the world's largest country with a history spanning a thousand years? Its geography encompasses almost every imaginable landscape, its architecture runs from iconic fairy-tale palaces to Soviet concrete monoliths, and its politics have ranged from tsars to revolution. The culture that gave the world countless writers, musicians, artists and thinkers is today a troubled place, still working out its place in a post-Communist era. Travellers will have their work cut out for them, but the effort yields and intense experience and an adventure of a lifetime.
