RUSSIAN EXPERIENCE

Full of history and culture, Russia is a massive land of contrasts.  From the Siberian country side, covered in ice to the modern cities of Moscow and St Petersburg.   The nation stretches from the Baltic Sea on the west to the Sea of Japan on the east.  Russians built intricate churches and other detailed works of art. (I'm sure Disney copied some of their styles in their theme parks.)  The Hermitage Museum, built by Catherine the Great as her winter Palace, houses a million pieces of artwork.  It would take 8 years to view each piece; there is not enough space to display all works at one time.
