Breathtaking Russian Landscapes

Photogallery

The Russian multimedia project “Russian Roads” www.rusroads.com was created to provide a picture of the Russian land—its nature, culture, and history; its past and its present. It is useless to try to describe this large-scale project—you just have to visit the site and immerse yourself in the tens of thousands of photographs, histories, and multimedia. The best photographers in the country are participating in the project, but its value lies in the fact that anyone can become a co-author, putting hitherto overlooked places on the map.

The organizers of the “Russian Roads” project have chosen the best photos from their section called “Multimedia. Modern Photographs” for Pravoslavie.ru.

So very beautiful. Visiting Russia with my family, especially its monasteries -- Valaam in particular, praying at the graves of St. Xenia and St. Seraphim of Sarov, and attending a Liturgy has been a long-term wish. Somehow Russia seems so close to my heart. With love, an Oriental Orthodox Christian from India.
Please pray that this wish of mine is fulfilled.
