We are not advertising anything with our articles. We are not in cooperation with hotels, restaurants or shops. Our goal is telling the truth and nothing but the truth.
We will never tell you one restaurant is good until we visit it by ourselves and sure in good quality of food and quality of service. We act as private guides and earn money from this service.
If we tell you about any dish of Russian cuisine and know it is not liked by most of foreign tourists, we write about it. We made it in our articles about sour cabbage or okroshka.
We will never tell you one gift shop has lower prices until we compare it with other players on the market.
Russia-Travel-Guide.com – we report you different opinions
When your guide is telling you about tourist sights, he usually expresses an official opinion. But you should not think all the Russians think this way. We know all of debatable problems.
For example, many of tourists visit the Lenin Mausoleum, but do not know the discussion about the future of the body of Vladimir Lenin. Some of Russians suggest to bury Vladimir Lenin according Christian rules and some defend the position it should stay inside the mausoleum.
The second problem is the signs in the Moscow subway. Most of them written only in Russian language. Russians are separated according opinion about it. Some say they should be duplicated in English to make Moscow more convenient for foreigners, but some of us protect insulating position for our country.
Guides will never tell you most of Russians support insulation. Fortunately, these people are not highly educated and not occupy any important managing positions. Unfortunately, now insulating idea is penetrating into minds of government management.
The next interesting example, is the monument for Peter The Great in Moscow. This huge monument by Zurab Tsereteli annoy many people here. Some of us consider it should be removed.
