The tundra is a unique biome that only exists in or near the Arctic Circle. Here, temperatures are so cold that trees can't grow, and only moss, shrubs, and certain types of grasses can get through the winter. In most places, the tundra is synonymous with permafrost–meaning the ground is permanently frozen. In areas where the top layer of ground does melt during summer, marshes and streams will form over the land, leading to beautiful patches of colorful icy water.
The Russian tundra is home to polar bears, seals, gray wolves, and rich birdlife during nesting season. Over the past few decades, ecotourism has become more and more interested in the tundra areas, especially the Great Arctic State Nature Reserve near Krasnoyarsk Krai, where visitors can take a number of environmental routes to explore, try bird-watching, or visit as part of an educational tour.
The city of Murmansk, in the Kola Peninsula, not only offers incredible tundra views, but it's also a great place to catch a tour to see the Northern Lights.

The Intricate Wooden Churches of Kizhi Island

Kizhi Island in Russia's Lake Onega, about 300 miles northeast of St. Petersburg, is home to two extraordinary churches constructed in the 18th century.

Built side-by-side, the 22-dome Church of the Transfiguration and the nine-dome Intercession Church both seem to gleam silver in the sun. But it's a trick of the light: each structure is made entirely of interlocking wood, with no metal involved — not even a single nail.

The Church of the Transfiguration, built in 1714, stands 121 feet tall, while the Intercession Church, completed in 1764, is 105 feet. The two buildings are the main drawcard of the Kizhi open-air museum, a collection of wooden houses, barns, and granaries imported from villages around the region.

The Motherland Calls, Volgograd
 
Undoubtedly, the most tragic page in the history of Russia was the Great Patriotic War of 1941-1945, which took the lives of millions of Soviet people, who defended their motherland. Every inch of Russian land had to be won back with incredible efforts and terrible losses. Entire cities fought to the bitter end, including all peaceful population, and that incredible example of courage and perseverance later brought them the honorary title of Hero Cities of Russia.
If you chose this journey we invite you to visit the splendid Russian cities: Kursk, Smolensk, Volgograd, St. Petersburg, Orel and many others. Each of them keeps the memories of those terrible events displayed in grandiose monuments, memorials, museums and exhibitions ...

The Hero City of Volgograd is known for its most vivid and spectacular revelations of the bloody horrors of the war. Pictures of the past come alive when you visit the Stalingrad Panorama Museum right at the foot of the Mamaev Kurgan.
