  • Russia has waterfalls?! See us explore this unique place of not one but four waterfalls. Come see how different and the same Russia is. We are in Karelia, the Finnish Republic of Russia. This is a large northern forest territory with mountains. Is it as beautiful as your part of the world?

      Карелия, к слову, сильно сейчас выигрывает, за счет того, что вытворяют власти Финляндии, почти весь огромный туристический поток, который шел из России в Финляндию, сейчас идет в Карелию, в Карелии строятся новые отели, базы отдыха и т.п. В процветавших еще недавно приграничных областях Финлянлии запустение, безлюдье и уныние.

    Пусть черемухи сохнут бельем на ветру,
    Пусть дождем опадают сирени, -

    Укрыт от меня и от света, -

    Туда, где найти невозможно?

    Brotherly heart, thank you for what you do! But you need to visit the south of Russia, cities like Sochi, Kislovodsk, Kazan. In the other parts of Russia, you'll fall in love with Kamchatka( like Yellowstonepark), Primorsky Krai, where the city of Vladivostok will remind you of San Francisco, but without addicts and homeless. And what do you know about the Altai Mountains? There you'll find the most picturesque road in the world. It's not the road from Monterey to Malibu, but I know it's just as good, believe me.)) Sakhalin, Taymyr, Kaliningrad? And that's far from all. Near Moscow, there's the Golden Ring of Russia. And of course, don't forget about the North Caucasus with the highest point in Europe - Mount Elbrus, and the largest city park in Europe - in the city of Kislovodsk. Now, this is also your country. You must see it to fall in love with it even more. And in Texas today, it's +42 degrees Celsius;))"

      Elbrus is really cool. The cable road takes you to 3900 meters and then you can hire a guy on the snow mobile or hop on the snow track and they can take you up to 4700m. This is a lifetime experience! The summit will be "only" 1km away from the altitude perspective and the scenic views from there are unparalleled. All this you can do in one day but beware of the altitude sickness and keeping sunglasses on.
      Kislovodsk is spot on - I've been there recently. The place is super clean and it has done a good job renovating all the historical buildings and the park.

    Хочу внести поправку: Карелия никогда не входила в состав Финляндии, наоборот Финляндия была в составе Российской империи с 1802 г по 1917 г. Карелия - автономная республика сейчас, но после Второй мировой войны она была республикой в составе СССР лет десят, а потом вошла в состав РСФСР. I want to make an amendment: Karelia was never part of Finland, on the contrary, Finland was part of the Russian Empire from 1802 to 1917, Karelia is an autonomous republic now, but after World War II it was a republic within the USSR for ten years, and then became part of the RSFSR.

      I did not say it was part of Finland I do not think. But I understand it was a Finnish culture area before Finland was a country and part of the Soviet Union. Something like the Republic of Tatarstan I guess.

      You are wrong, Finland was never part of the Soviet Union. It became independent in 1917 right after the October coup. The Soviet Union was formed in 1922. But you are right that Finland never existed as a separate country before that. Finns, after centuries of unhappy life under Sweden, voluntarily joined the Russian Empire. Russia's main goal was to create among the Finnish population a sentiment "friendly, calm, satisfied with their situation and interested in the external strength and power of Russia", the Grand Duchy of Finland received a special status of autonomy within Russia. The Russian emperor, in particular, could not approve new and change old laws, introduce taxes and revise class privileges without the consent of the Seimas. Even the police of the Principality was formed only of Finns: and if at first it was subordinated to the Governor-General, then later it was transferred to the Civil Expedition at the Economic Department of the Senate, i.e. it actually became completely independent.

      As for Karelia... In 1721, the Peace of Nystadt was signed, which officially ended the largest geopolitical confrontation at that time - the Northern War, in which Russia defeated Sweden. Under the terms of the Nystadt Peace Treaty, the eastern part of Karelia, including the Karelian Isthmus, returned to the Russian Kingdom, which was declared the Russian Empire in the same year.

      ​@expatamerican3234 Finland was under Sweden for almost 700 years before Russia enlarged its empire. Finland got independence 1917 from shit Russia and this part of Karelia was Finland as Vyborg also etc till Russia attacked brutally again and robbed those areas from Finland. And Karelia should be independent country not any part of Russia as many other areas in 'Russia' as well. Like calling for example, Chechenya, Russia sounds weird.
      Btw Karelia has its own flag and autonomy.

    Russia claims Ukraine belongs to Russia because of Kievan Rus, but Novgorod was separated independent from Moscow. As theres different scandinavian ppl, there were different slavic tribes. Russia started brutal war in Ukraine by blaiming its there ancient land and belongs to Russia, but mostly Russia (as known today) is ancient land of many countries and ethnicities except Russia. I see Russia only as small as Moscow and its surroundings. Kievan RUS was ruled by Swedes. And Karelia was something Russia shouldn't have anything to do with it. But somehow, Russia thinks its theirs and been Russia. Norway could occupy all the nordics claiming its Norway, etc.. those are all very different ppl and tribes (old times) with unique cultures. Russia should be as many countries instead of one. Moscow ruled everyone and still does... by force. Ripping off all the ethnicities (Siperia, Asian part..)

Looks like even potholes on the streets are still over 20y old there. Yes, there are some honest people in local municipalities who actually don't steal and spend money from the budget properly, but overall hmm....

Да все города по пути их следования (Владивосток, Хабаровск, Благовещенск, Чита, Улан-Удэ, Иркутск, Красноярск, Новосибирск, Кемерово, Тюмень) не узнать, я во всех них был в 80-90-е годы.
