The largest country in the world is an exotic blend of East and West with a landscape that encompasses the highest mountains in Europe, Arctic Tundra and the endless Plains of Siberia. Its history is as expansive as its landscape with historical figures such as Ivan the Terrible and Peter the Great. It is the land of the Czars and the Cossacks; it is a remarkably diverse country yet two cities have remained at the heart of Russia for many centuries,  Moscow and St. Petersburg.
