Have you ever heard that Russia, that vast nation that dominates the maps of both Europe and Asia, is too dull, too boring and too drab to warrant a visit? Well I have, and I can tell you that it's all baloney.

The thrill of pouring your first pint.
Comfort reigns over style in Russia.
A builder's work is never done.
They just have their own ways of doing things.
