Moscow

When I earn my own money, the first country that I want to visit is Russia. Russia is the biggest country in the world, but it´s not hard to travel because there is a few cities in the country. The main cities in western Russia are Moscow, Saint Petersburg, Ufa, Volgograd and the enclave of Kaliningrad. In the Far East, is the city of Vladivostok.

I would like to visit Russia because their soviet past catch my attention. Specially Moscow, have a big heritage of the Soviet Union.  The main attraction of this City is the Red Square, in this square you can find the old red fortification from the mediaeval age “Kremlin”, and it’s the actual Government Palace. There is too the Lenin´s Mausoleum, Saint Basils Cathedral. In the Red Square, every year its take place the big military parade, in commemoration of the World War II ends.

Other attraction of Moscow is the Metro. The metro was built in the 30’, and every station was built as bombs shelter. The station also have paintings and sculptures. Each station is a museum.

Other soviet remain are the seven sisters, seven skyscraper built in the last years of Stalin. Each buildings have a big red star in the top. In one of these buildings is the State University of Moscow, the Lomonosov University.

I would like to study international relations in Lomonosov University and live in Russia only those years. The city is very cold and I couldn’t live there.
