Russia: Some Amazing Sights and Catchy Places (List of Locations)

Moscow, Russia Travelling is one of the most popular hobbies. Very often we want to visit different countries and forget about motherland.

Yelets - Elder Brother of Moscow

Yelets, Russia What is Russia? To find the answer only in Moscow and St. Petersburg is not enough. If you have such opportunity visit little old Russian towns. One of them is Yelets, located in 393 kilometers from Moscow. It was founded in 1146. Therefore, it is older than Moscow that was found in 1147. People say that Yelets is as old as ancient Russia. Having such a long history, the town survived in many wars.
