The beauty of old Russian architecture is the Russian history turned into a stone. Old Russian cities are exotic for foreigners and the subject of pride for the Russians. The whole history of this country’s development and flourishing , its roots, misfortunes and joys of the ancestors – how often we take it all for granted! The tourist route to the North-East away from Moscow lying through the old lands of the Russian princedoms such as Rostov-Suzdal, Vladimir, Yaroslavl, Kostroma (which made up the nucleus of the Moscow princedom and later of the whole Russia) will help to look at this country’s valuables in a different way.
