Russia — Vodka! Caviar! The Kremlin! What a country! Colossal Russia has emerged from behind the Iron Curtain as a less monolithic, more nuanced destination fueled by a nouveau capitalist class (at least in Moscow and St. Petersburg).

Why Go

For the bustling energy and Soviet relics of Moscow and the glittering palaces and cathedrals of St. Petersburg.
