russia

my visit to russia begins along the baltic sea in saint petersburg. saint petersburg is russia's second-largest city as well as its cultural capital. the historic center of saint petersburg and related groups of monuments constitute a unesco world heritage site. next i continue on to moscow, russia's capital and most populous city. here i visit historic red square and the kremlin. the video concludes with my visit to the trinity monastery of st. sergii in zagorsk.
