just wanted to ask people's opinion about Russia, what are the things that you associate with this country? is it dangerous in terms of travel, what is worth visitng, etc...
Im thinking about visiting this in the nearby future, dont know when yet, but I want to get some ideas before I go


Thanks

I think that Russia is often misunderstood by foreigners. It is a very proud nation. It has a very unique and great culture. They have great music, literature, art, food, architecture and history. The Russian soul is famous for being very deep and mystical. On the outside Russian people can seem cold and unfriendly, but when you get to know a Russian person they are normally warm and kind. It is easy to find things wrong with Russia, just pick up any western newspaper. People should visit the country and form their own opinions.
hope u get the point...
this are my views hope it may contradict.
thanks......

Russia is a vast and diverse nation that continues to evolve politically and economically. Travel and living conditions in Russia contrast sharply with those in the United States. Major urban centers show tremendous differences in economic development compared to rural areas.

I do not know that much about russia and I rarely even think about the country russia. But sometimes our teacher talks about the politics, government and those stuffs that happened in the past of russia and I think that russia is pretty cool

Indeed, an online survey said that Russia is included as one of the top dangerous destination in world in terms of crime rate and tourist incidents. but I think there are still great safe places to consider specifically in this country.
