For as long as I can remember, this kid from Manhattan with absolutely no Russian ancestry was told, "Russia is a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma." So for whatever reason, I decided to take my photojournalistic skills on an unescorted seven-day trip to Moscow and St. Petersburg, arguably the historical and cultural heart and soul of Russia.
Despite what you've been lead to believe-and at the risk of the FBI calling me a dual agent-Russia IS NOT a politically-repressed country of disgruntled people surviving on a daily diet of vodka and potatoes. Russians are a proud, engaging, curious people, working their way through a complex cultural and economic transition. â¿¿ â¿¿But, don't take my word for it! Check it out for yourself. 'Russia Today' contains 150+ surprising color photographs and uncensored comments from tons of ordinary Russian citizens and government officials.
