Verkhniye Mandrogi the unique village
Located in thick forest on the Svir River — halfway between bustling St Petersburg and the lonely island of Kizhi - Mandrogi has been reconstructed, in dreamy, idealised, fairytale form, by Sergei Gutsait, a St Petersburg businessman and arts benefactor.
First came a hotel, followed by hideaways for artists and, eventually, a village full of attractions, unashamedly targeting tourists shuttling back and forth between St Petersburg and Moscow on tour ships such as our Viking Ingvar.
In recent years, there have been more additions. They include a small zoo, a working windmill, a school, a post office, a football pitch, an exhibition centre and an airstrip famously used by visiting Russia president Vladimir Putin.
Once again, the name of the “disappeared” village, which in the local language roughly means “thresholds” or “boundaries”, appears on the official Map of Russia, albeit in very small letters.

Russian banya
The Russian banya has its own rules, traditions, customs and even rituals. The bathhouse is considered a combination of the four elements – fire, water, earth and air, so the bathhouse was considered a sacred place. In the bath you become stronger and healthier. There was even a belief that if the patient did not recover after the bath, then nothing would help him.
They washed in Russia on Saturdays, having completed weekly work, and weekly washing was considered mandatory! But once a week is a minimum, and if possible, it was possible to wash on other days. We went to the bathhouse before holidays, before childbirth, before weddings, after a long journey.
In the old days, women and men in Russia "in commercial baths" washed in the same room, albeit "in different corners". The Orthodox Church struggled not only with this custom, but even with the "maiden bath" (the day before the wedding) and the "marriage bath" (joint bathing of spouses). They were replaced by separate ablution after the so-called "sin of coition". By 1743, the struggle as a whole was over - a senate decree forbade men and women to wash together in the same room. In the village, however, no one cared about this decree...
Bath attributes.
Brooms. The main and most famous tradition of the Russian bath is brooms. There are different types of brooms with their own features of use. Each bath attendant has his own way of making a broom.
Hats. The air temperature in the bath can reach 70-90 degrees Celsius, but a cap made of h**p and flax fibers will maintain a comfortable air temperature around the head.
It keeps the head dry and cool, and also prevents damage to the hair from high temperature.

In Russia, the Day of Knowledge is celebrated annually on September 1. It got its name due to the fact that it is the first day of autumn, when the new academic year begins in all Russian schools, as well as secondary and higher educational institutions.
Knowledge Day is a holiday for all students, their parents and teachers, as well as all those people who are somehow connected with the service of schoolchildren and students.
Initially, all peoples celebrated this day as a harvest festival. In our country, back in the time of Peter the Great, it was customary to celebrate the New Year on this day. But then it was decided to postpone the New Year to January 1, on the model of European countries.
It should be recalled that officially the Day of Knowledge began to be celebrated in the USSR since 1984. Before September 1 received the status of a public holiday, it was a school day. Although this day began with a solemn ruler, but then the usual lessons were held.
The first persons of the state traditionally congratulate teachers and students on the Knowledge Day on September 1. Various educational institutions are visited by representatives of the administration of districts and cities.
We can say that there is no person in Russia who would not remember with joy the day of the first call, his first teacher and school friends.

The Russian tricolor celebrates its holiday on August 22. However, few people know what the history of the flag of Russia was. The holiday itself was established relatively recently, only in 1994. The date has become permanent, and now Russia's Flag Day is celebrated annually on August 22. The date was not taken by chance. It was on August 22, 1991 that the historical tricolor was restored.
The tricolor flag itself was created by Peter I. Back in 1705, the sovereign issued a decree that merchant ships should sail only under the tricolor. Surprisingly, it was Peter himself who then came up with what the flag would look like. The history of the banner has more than 310 years. But the tricolor was destined to become the national flag only in 1896.
Officially, on August 22, 1991, the flag familiar to Russians was hoisted over the building on Krasnopresnenskaya Embankment. Even then, the tricolor became the national flag. As for the name of the colors, in 1993 they became "white", "blue" and "red". However, previously the stripes were called "White", "azure" and "scarlet". Their name has been changed.
What do the white, blue and red colors of the flag of Russia mean?
- White speaks of such qualities as nobility and frankness.
- Blue speaks about such qualities as chastity, loyalty, honesty, as well as perfection.
- Red speaks of courage, love, courage and generosity.

On August 19, the Orthodox will celebrate the Apple Savior. This day also accounts for the church celebration of the Transfiguration of the Lord. On this day, believers remember the evangelical events on Mount Tabor. According to legend, Jesus Christ led his disciples to the top, where he appeared in all his greatness. People believe that in this way Jesus Christ showed people how the world will be transformed in the future.
On this day, it is customary to bring the harvest to the temple for consecration. This tradition is associated with the belief that the ripening of fruits is a reward for all the work done. Sanctifying apples and other fruits, the church fills human labor with God's grace, believers believe. In addition, legends say that consecrated apples have magical power: when biting off the first piece, you should make a wish, and it will come true.
It is customary to cook all kinds of apple dishes for Apple Spas: jam, pies, salads. It is also customary to give fruits to guests, as well as to distribute to those in need. At the same time, in ancient times they believed that it was impossible to eat apples before the holiday.

Pskov Region Porkhovskaya Fortress

Porkhovskaya Fortress, whose history remembers the raids of "friends" and strangers, is one of the most noteworthy sights in the Pskov region. More than once she experienced falls and restorations, burning and subsequent restoration.

After Pskov and Novgorod were taken over by Moscow, Porkhov found himself far from the external borders and his restless belligerent neighbors stopped bothering him. Therefore, today you can see the ancient fortifications of the fortress, not distorted by later restorations and restoration.

By the end of the 19th century, a branch of the railway was launched through the town, and, thanks to this, the development of its infrastructure received a powerful impetus.

During the Second World War, the Porkhovsky Kremlin was under the Germans for 4 years. But the spiritual mission of Porkhov, with the permission of the occupiers, continued to operate and conduct services in the St. Nicholas Church.

Today it is one of the most interesting points of interest in the Pskov region.

UNESCO Heritage sites in Russia

Kremlin and Red square, Moscow

Moscow’s Red Square and towering Kremlin aren’t just visually jaw-dropping, they’re also inextricably linked to all the most important historical events in Russia since the 13th Century. The Kremlin represents the meteoric rise and downfall of the Tsars, the heartland of the Soviets and the political pre-eminence of modern-day Russia. The Red Square also houses St Basil’s Basilica, one of the world’s most recognisable and dazzling religious monuments.

The historic center of St.Petersburg

The Historic Centre of St Petersburg, as well as the buildings and ensembles located in the immediate vicinity, were designated as a World Heritage site in 1991. Begun as a vast urban project under Peter the Great in 1703, later, the city known as Leningrad in the former USSR became closely associated with the October Revolution. The city centre is unique for its mix of extremely varied baroque and pure neoclassical styles, the most famous being the Admiralty, the Winter Palace, the Marble Palace and the Hermitage.

Kizhi Island, Karelia

Not as well-known as its big-city counterparts, Kizhi Pogost is a 17th-century site located on Kizhi Island in the Republic of Karelia. The ‘pogost’ is an area including two wooden churches, the 22-dome Transfiguration Church and the 9-dome Intercession Church, along with an octagonal bell tower. Despite being built exclusively out of wood, the churches are still standing after 150 years. The site’s natural setting on Lake Onega is also astoundingly beautiful.

One of the best ways to visit Kizhi is via a Volga River cruise from Moscow to St Petersburg or vice-versa or take an overnight train from St Petersburg to Petrozavodsk for a tour around the area.

Lake Baikal, Irkutsk

Impossible to write about UNESCO world heritage sites in Russia without mentioning Lake Baikal, rightfully upheld as Siberia’s most famous attraction – with a maximum depth of 1,642m, it’s the deepest lake in the world, and at 25 million years old, also the most ancient. It contains 20% of the world’s unfrozen freshwater reserves and some of the world’s clearest waters, appearing like a vast inland sea in summer and an endless, solid plain in winter, as ice over a metre thick freezes over the inky depths of the lake and turns it into a playground for winter sports.

You can get to Lake Baikal by direct flights to Irkutsk from Moscow, St Petersburg, Vladivostok and other cities of Russia, as well as from Beijing and Seoul. Irkutsk is a famous stop on the iconic Tran-Siberian, so if you planning to travel by train, definitely leave 4-5 days to explore the region.

Golden Mountains, Altai

According to UNESCO, the Altai region represents the most complete sequence of altitudinal vegetation zones in central Siberia, from steppe and mixed-forest to alpine. UNESCO cited the Russian Altai importance for preserving globally endangered mammals including the Altai argali and snow leopard. Some of the world’s most beautiful mountain hikes cross through the varied landscapes of the Russian Altai. In late spring after the snowmelt, the ridges of the mountains take on a golden hue from a distance, and up-close are seen to be blanketed with stunning wildflowers.

Derbent Naryn-Kala

Derbent is situated on the western shores of the Caspian Sea, in present-day Dagestan. It was in a position to control the traffic between Europe and the Middle East. The defense structures that were built by the Sasanians were in continuous use by the succeeding Persian, Arabic, Mongol, and Timurid governments. Its military function lasted till the 19th century. Its name is a Persian word: “Darband”, meaning "closed gates".
