Russia Travel
This is a continuation of my Travel page for Russia and its “Near Abroad” (~ex-USSR).
- Big cities are CAPITALIZED and touristic/prominent ones are highlighted.
- My favorite places are denoted by a golden star.
- Natural wonders & internal regions are italicized.
- Places where I *lived* (spent >3 months) are underlined.
Note that Moscow and Saint-Petersburg both have separate guides/pages. There is also a separate guide on expatriating/repatriating to Russia.
