Discover Russia with RNG!

Have you ever asked yourself what do you know about Russia? Yes, the former Soviet country with a strong communist regime. May be you remember Stalin or Gorbatchev from those times and Eltsin with Putin from the modern Russian Federation. Have you ever thought about the way Russians live and work, about their culture and architecture? Anyway, I’m dead sure that you are unaware of the real beauty of St.Petersburg, its Winter Palace and Isaak Cathedral, unaware of the brilliance of the Kremlin and the greatness of Moscow as a modern capital of the greater country that occupies more that 1/3 or the land in the world!

Unfortunately, modern American ideology slightly reminds me of those times when the Cold War period existed and when desinformation has been one of the most powerful sources to initiate a propaganda and give the same feedback. Diagnostic centers are concerned that being ignorant is not punished in the US anymore or better say this fact is not even taken into consideration. Some students can not even show the USA on the world map so what to say about Russia! The most aggravating feeling of lostness can be found in Russian emmigrants who are mostly strong patriots and the majority had to leave their Motherland because of many factors beginning from religious ones and ending with political prosecutions. After the rehabilitation period many Russians are granted freedom of move and many of them have decided to get a Russian visa and travel to their home land! Fortunately, there are travel agencies and special groups, like Russian National Group who provides special cruises and tours in Russian and former Soviet countries.

Russian online magazine “Zdorovie” recommends traveling as the only effective means from many diseases and if you are strongly determined to visit the Russian Federation - it is easy nowadays if you are dealing with RNG travel group.
