Explore the symbolic heart and soul of Russia - Moscow, one of the world's great cities, and her sister city, St. Petersburg, the host of Russia's golden age and cradle of revolution - through this authoritative text, which captures the mood and magic of these famous destinations. Moscow's once sombre streets now buzz 24 hours a day with purposeful activity. St. Petersburg's baroque and classical architecture and her canals, an inspiration for musicians, artists and writers such as Rimsky-Korsakov, Pushkin and Dostoevsky, charm visitors to this day. Nordbye's guide contains a wealth of information on the two cities and the regions surrounding them, including the Golden Ring - a series of ancient Russian towns set in the stunning countryside around Moscow. This book is sure to evoke the timeless qualities of Russia's centres of power.
