Yelets Western European Russia travel destination

admin — Sat, 28 Mar 2009 09:00:00 +0000

Amid lovely countryside, Yelets is a relaxing town that looks like a slice out of mid-19th-century Russia. Streets are lined with colonnaded buildings and wood and brick houses, while the town’s showpiece, beautiful Ascension Cathedral, is visible from kilometres around. Tucked into the town’s tidy streets are another half-dozen working churches and cathedrals, as well as ruins of several more. There’s also a well-stocked regional museum and a museum devoted to Soviet composer Tikhon Khrennikov.

Yelets was founded on the Sosna River in 1146 as a fortification against the Polovtsy, invaders from the east. It was sacked by Tatars three times and rebuilt in the 1500s.

Yuzhno Sakhalinsk Russian Far East travel destination

admin — Sat, 28 Mar 2009 08:00:00 +0000

Sprawling between mountains, landlocked Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk is the booming cap- ital of Sakhalin. At times on its main strips (ul Lenina or Kommunistichesky pr - still keeping Marx happy with newly made street signs) you have to struggle to see Russia. There’s not a lot to do - that is if you’re not in town bound for oil rigs or construction projects - but it’s a good (and the only) starting point to the rest of the relatively unexplored island or the Kuril Islands, and it offers some flashy restaurants and bars.

Yekaterinburg The Urals travel destination

admin — Fri, 27 Mar 2009 08:00:00 +0000

From the execution of Tsar Nicholas II and his family in 1918 to the high-profile Mafia killings in the 1990s, Yekaterinburg is notorious for its bloody history. Contemporary Yekaterinburg remembers these events, attracting pilgrims and tourists alike to the sites associated with the Romanov deaths.

As the economic and cultural capital of the Urals region, however, the city offers visitors much more than a dramatic history. The Urals’ mineral wealth is on display in the city’s many museums, while the ongoing economic boom is evident in the crowded cafés and clubs around the centre. Yekaterinburg also has the accommodation options and facilities to serve as a convenient base for adventure activities and winter sports in the Urals.

Yasnaya Polyana travel destination

admin — Thu, 26 Mar 2009 07:00:00 +0000

Located 14km south of central Tula and around 240km from Moscow, Yasnaya Polyana is the estate (238 6710, 517 6081; www.yasnayapolyana.ru; admission R100; 10am-5pm Tue-Sun May-Oct, 9.30am-3.30pm Tue-Sun Nov-Apr) where the great Russian writer Count Leo Tolstoy was born and buried.

Tolstoy spent much of his life in this house, which is a simple place filled with many of his possessions. Of Yasnaya Polyana, he wrote: ‘All [my grandfather] had built here was not only solid and comfortable, but also very elegant. The same is true about the park he laid out near the house.’ Tolstoy’s nearby grave is unmarked except for bouquets of flowers left by newlyweds.

Yaroslavl Golden Ring travel destination

admin — Wed, 25 Mar 2009 06:00:00 +0000

Yaroslavl, 250km northeast of Moscow, is the urban counterpart to Suzdal. This is the biggest place between Moscow and Arkhangelsk, and it has a more urban feel than anywhere else in the Golden Ring. Its big-city skyline, however, is dotted with onion domes and towering spires, not smoke stacks and skyscrapers. As a result of a trade boom in the 17th century, churches are hidden around every corner. The poet Apollon Grigoryev wrote: ‘Yaroslavl is a town of unsurpassed beauty; everywhere is the Volga and everywhere is history.’ And everywhere, everywhere, are churches.

Yakutsk Russian Far East travel destination

admin — Tue, 24 Mar 2009 05:00:00 +0000

For somewhere that’s over 1000km from any- where much, Yakutsk comes as a pleasant, and sometimes surreal, surprise. Over half of its inhabitants are Yakut - and a good portion of the remainder are Chinese immigrants - so it feels (despite the Lenin statue) less Russian than many places across the Far East. Most of its buildings stand on stilts above a cruel permafrost that never thaws. It’s most isolated when the weather’s misbehaving - as winter frozen-river highways thaw, and earth turns into an unnavigable slop.

People are particularly friendly in Yakutsk. Visitors often find themselves quickly connected with the local scene.

The Kola Peninsula’s southern shore, on the White Sea, is a beautiful, pristine and completely unspoilt coastline with some fascinating architectural, archaeological and geological sites - still largely undiscovered by the outside world. The Varzuga River provides some of the very best salmon fishing in the world.

Western Tuva Siberia travel destination

admin — Mon, 23 Mar 2009 03:00:00 +0000

The route looping round to Abakan from Tuva via Askiz is scenically varied, often beautiful and mesmerisingly vast in scale, though the Chinggis Khaan stone near Ak-Dovurak is the only real ’sight’. Independent travellers should be aware of Western Tuva’s fearsome reputation for wild lawlessness and unprovoked knife attacks. Even other Tuvans are nervous about travelling without a truly local companion. Sayan Ring tours come this way.

At km107, the grassland route from Kyzyl passes dramatic Mt Khayyrakan, a spiky ridge blessed by the Dalai Lama in 1992. Chadan town (Chadaana) is attractively dotted with wooden cottages and there’s an appealing little museum(ul Lenina 33; 9am-4pm Mon-Fri), but the guesthouse (aalchylar bazhyngy; ul Pobedy 1) closed in 2003. Stay off those mean streets at night.

Western European Russia travel destination

admin — Sun, 22 Mar 2009 02:00:00 +0000

With its birch forests, idyllic rivers and endless rolling steppe, Western European Russia is an enticing vision straight out of Russian folklore. Those seeking the soul of Old Rus would do well to explore this historically rich region, as the charming old villages, photogenic fortress towns and gold-domed monasteries are just part of the lure.

Novgorod, founded over 1000 years ago, occupies a pivotal place here. Its claim as the birthplace of modern Russia can be experienced in its red-brick ramparts, ancient churches and inspiring vistas along the meandering Volkhov River. Other striking kremlin towns include Pskov and Smolensk, both set along scenic rivers and with a colourful past that began well before the Mongols swept through the land. Smolensk is also famed for its well-known native son, Mikhail Glinka, widely regarded as the founder of Russian orchestral music. The symphony hall where he conducted is still a fantastic place to hear live concerts throughout the year.

Western Bam Siberia travel destination

admin — Sat, 21 Mar 2009 01:00:00 +0000

The 3100km-long Baikal-Amur Mainline (Baikalo-Amurskaya Magistral, BAM) is an astonishing victory of belief over adversity. This ‘other’ trans-Siberian line runs from Tayshet (417km east of Krasnoyarsk) around the top of Lake Baikal to Sovetskaya Gavan on the Pacific coast. Begun in the 1930s to access the timber and minerals of the Lena Basin, work stopped during WWII. Indeed the tracks were stripped altogether and reused to lay a relief line to the besieged city of Stalingrad (now Volgograd). Work effectively started all over again in 1974 when the existing Trans-Siberian Railway was felt to be vulnerable to attack by potentially hostile China. Much of the route was cut through virgin taiga and pesky mountain ranges. To encourage patriotic volunteer labourers the BAM was labelled ‘Hero Project of the Century’. Even so, building on permafrost pushed the cost of the project to US$25 billion, some 50 times more than the original Trans-Siberian Railway.

New ‘BAM towns’ grew with the railway, often populated by builders who decided to stay on. However, the line’s opening (1991) coincided with the collapse of the centrally planned USSR and the region’s bright Soviet future has not really materi- alised. While Bratsk and Severobaikalsk have thrived, many other smaller, lonely settlements have become ghost towns.
