For a long time, an iron curtain has prevented travellers from seeing this land's cultural treasures; only in the past two decades has tourism picked up. Nowadays, Russia's orthodox churches, Tsarist palaces and Soviet-era heritage sites all place this great Northern landmass among the desirable destinations in Europe. Those with a taste for the great outdoors can get more than their fill with the eastern parts of the country, particularly the vast steppes as well as Lake Baikal. Click here to learn more. At the beginning of March, Russians took to the polling stations to vote for who they wanted as their next President.
