Description: This listing is for An Explorer's Guide to Russia by Robert Greenall.ISBN: 9780939010417This guidebook to the new Russia aims to make possible independent travel. The opening-up of the former Soviet Bloc has led to a large rise increase in Weserners making the trip east, and this book provides practical help to help readers get the most out of their trip. Since the 1917 Revolution, many of Russia's historical monuments have been destroyed, but a great deal also survives. Robert Greenall's survey goes beyond Moscow and St Petersburg to bring equal attention to many distinctive regions, from the wooden architecture of Northern Karelia and Murmansk to the Bryansk, Tula and Ryazan regions south of Moscow. Recognizing that many first-time visitors to Russia may also want to see Kiev in neighbouring Ukraine, the author includes full coverage of the ancient city. Features of the book includes: an introduction covering Russia's history, geography, culture and religions; how to prepare for the trip, getting a visa, what to take and health precautions; practical advice on currency, communications, food and drink, language and customs; in-depth guides to major cities and regions, including Moscow, St Petersburg, the Volga Valley, Oka Valley, Western Defences, the City States, Russian North and the Ukraine; and a listing of local contacts in Russia who offer B&B, guide/interpreter services and trip-planning.Please see our other listings as we have many related items and various other treasures you may be interested in!!!
