For most westerners, Russia is associated with its European
cities--Moscow, St. Petersburg and Murmansk. This is the heartland of
Imperial Russia, and these great and ancient cities often become the
focus for most tourists. However there is much more to Russia, a country
that spans eleven time zones and two continents, ending less than 50
miles from North America. Within this vast expanse lie the largest
freshwater lake in the world, rivers and forests teeming with fish and
wildlife, awe inspiring volcanos, and towering mountains. Russia is the
largest country on earth, with enormous tracts of land that have been
opened to travellers only in the last few years. Just as Russia's rich cultural heritage has once more come to life, its natural heritage too is a new country waiting to be discovered. |

Weather OverviewRussia's extremes range from the frosts of the Siberian north to the heat of the European south. With no discernable spring or autumn, Russia has a dry continental climate. Siberian summers are surprisingly warm; it's the winters that make regions distinct. So while daytime summer temperatures over the nation may only vary from 20 to 30°C (68-86°F), in winter it is more like 10 to -50°C (51 to -58°F). Major towns like Moscow and St Petersburg share similar pleasant summer temperatures, both averaging around 24°C (75°F). Spring in both cities brings the great thaw, the reappearance of vehicles on the road and a general sense of mayhem. |
