🇷🇺 The State Historical Museum on Red Square was founded in 1872. The Russian-style building took about 10 years to construct, and today it is one of the largest historical museums in the world. The first exhibition opened in 1883, and the first visitors were Emperor Alexander III and his wife.

🇷🇺 The museum houses around 5 million items and over 14 million documents. The collection spans from the Stone Age to the end of the 19th century. The museum building itself is also a unique exhibit: each of its halls is styled to reflect the architecture of a particular era, from ancient Russian churches to the chambers of the Moscow Kremlin. The museum also doubles as a major scientific research centre.

An immersive show based on The Master and Margarita arrives in Moscow

In Moscow, you can now experience one of the city's most unusual theatrical adventures — the immersive show Schizophrenia, as was said, created from Mikhail Bulgakov's cult novel The Master and Margarita.

In this show, the audience does not merely watch what is happening — they become participants. Guests board tram 302-bis — a reference to one of the novel's key symbols — and literally find themselves inside the pages of the immortal book. The immersive format means that the boundary between stage and auditorium dissolves: the action unfolds around and together with the spectators.

🥼 The Master and Margarita is one of the greatest novels of 20th‑century Russian literature. Written in Soviet times, it was only published after the author's death in 1966. The book combines satire of Soviet society, philosophical reflections on good and evil, a love story and mysticism — the action takes place simultaneously in 1930s Moscow and in ancient Jerusalem. The novel remains to this day one of the most widely read and adapted works of Russian classics.

🇷🇺

A lake like a scattering of glass shards

Imagine a northern lake that looks as if someone painted it long and carefully in watercolours — Seliger and the small town of Ostashkov on its shore.

💧 Seliger is not one small saucer‑shaped lake, but a whole web of water and land: dozens of channels, backwaters, narrow straits, islands and peninsulas that form an intricate, almost lace‑like pattern on the map.

🥼 From above it looks like scattered glass shards: the water fills the hollows between the hills, while forest and villages peep out from the banks, as though someone had carefully placed green dots all around a blue scattering.

🤔 Cheburashka is a famous character from Soviet children's literature and animation, created by the writer Eduard Uspensky. Outwardly he is a funny little creature with huge ears, clumsy and very good-natured, who turned up in a crate of oranges. He got his name because he kept falling over whenever he tried to stand up, and the name instantly became a household word.

🍊 Although Cheburashka's story began in the USSR, his popularity has not faded in modern Russia, where he is a true cultural symbol. This character embodies childlike naivety, sincere friendship and kindness, especially in his pairing with his friend Gena the Crocodile.

🇷🇺 Dmitrov is one of the oldest towns of the Moscow region, founded in 1154, just seven years later than Moscow. The town's main attraction is the 12th‑century Dmitrov Kremlin with its majestic Assumption Cathedral and preserved earthen ramparts, and the town itself attracts around 1.3 million tourists annually.

🐸 Curiously, the unofficial symbol of Dmitrov is the frog. The town was founded on the swampy banks of the Yakhroma River, where these amphibians have always been plentiful. Legend has it that frogs repeatedly saved the town: sensing the approach of enemies, with their deafening croaking they woke the garrisons and frightened off the foes. The town's second name is "the frog kingdom". In memory of this, there is even a frog museum in Dmitrov with a collection of hundreds of exhibits from all over the world.
