This tour is recent Russian history in a nutshell, the history of the Soviet Union from its creation in 1922 to its dissolution in 1991: from the fall of the Russian Empire, the Bolshevik coup, the World War II, to the emergence of Stalinism and dramatic Cold War period. We will explore the historical labyrinths and myths of Soviet Russia and its ideology and compare our discoveries with its modern life. Besides focusing on history we will also visit the cultural highlights of Moscow and St. Petersburg: Kremlin, Armoury, Hermitage and the Catherine Palace with its famous Amber room.
