"Indispensable... It not only provides a cornucopia of practical information and cultural insight, but takes the traveller on a splendid journey through the extensive map of the Russian soul."—Isabel Allende
Explore the symbolic heart and soul of Russia—Moscow, one of the world's great cities, and her sister city, St. Petersburg, the host of Russia's golden age and cradle of revolution—through this authoritative text, which captures the mood and magic of these famous destinations.
Moscow's once somber streets now buzz 24 hours a day with purposeful activity. St. Petersburg's baroque and classical architecture and her canals, an inspiration for musicians, artists, and writers such as Rimsky-Korsakov, Pushkin, and Dostoevsky, charm visitors to this day. This guidebook's wealth of information on these two cities and the regions surrounding them will evoke the timeless qualities of Russia's centers of power.
• Covers the Golden Ring of ancient Russian towns surrounding Moscow, including Yaroslavl, Vladimir, and Suzdal
• Special essays on the Russian Circus, the Trans-Siberian Railway, Catherine the Great, and the Siege of Leningrad
• Literary excerpts from writers such as Pushkin, Dostoevsky, and Dumas
"As the designer of Russia's first ever golf course in Moscow, I and my international crew had the pleasure of using Ms. Nordbye's guide extensively as we placed the Reds on the Greens! A definite 'don't leave home without it!'"—Robert Trent Jones, II

reviewed Moscow, St. Petersburg & The Golden Ring on August 24, 2018 Moscow
Colin writes well, but he's a bit of a cold fish. He doesn't ever seem to do anything fun (only once does he take a young woman out for dinner). And so Siberia seems really boring. Perhaps it is? Colin gets involved in religions, goes to underfunded museums and archeological sites, and visits prison camps and mines where thousands died. That's Colin on his holidays. But it's not like there isn't fun stuff happening around him … he passes several Opera Houses. Couldn't he have caught a show? Someone mentions a festival; that Jewish-town-that's-no-longer-Jewish was having a concert. I also thought he could have talked to a few of the Chinese people. They may not be Siberian, but they are there. But perhaps they were having too much of a good time for Colin?
