Since the Perestroika was introduced by Gorbatschow Russia is not anymore a blank spot for western tourist, even though they normally visit the cities of Moscow and St. Petersburg.
But those who have visited the cities only and perhaps the Golden Ring have only seen the display window of Russia. The real authentic Russia with its endless flower meadows, countless small villages with wooden houses and churches wedged between creeks and is now only found in the outback.
This is where this tour takes you, on a few unpaved roads but through wonderful coloured forests.
In the villages your will meet people who do not know modern snobbery, the real russian, open-hearted, a little simple-minded but of good nature and truly hospitable. Only if you have seen the Russian Hinterland, Russia without make-up in it’s natural beauty will you be able to say: “I have seen Russia”
