Moscow, Russia’s capital city is a definite must go. There are so many interesting things to see and do. When in Moscow, visit the Red Square, one of the most famous city squares in the world. The square separates the Kremlin, the former royal citadel and currently the official residence of the President of Russia, from a historic merchant quarter known as Kitay-gorod. Kitay-gorod is a business district within Moscow, encircled by mostly reconstructed medieval walls making it another interesting sight to see. Many streets lead from the Red Square to major roads outside the city, making the Red Square very much the centre of Moscow, as well as the centre of goings on in the rest of Russia.

The Red Square has been used for the coronation of Russian Tsars, as well as for official ceremonies by all Russian Governments. Walking around the square, it is wonderful to imagine the grandeur of these proceedings. During the mid to latter 20th Century, it was most famous as the site of official military parades demonstrating to the world the might of the Soviet armed forces. Within the Red Square, The Kremlin itself is a place connected with years of history and to see it brings Russian politics to life. If your anything like myself you like to imagine walking the route of a Tsar, a Soviet leader or the President.

The name Kremlin is often used as a metonym to refer to the government of the Soviet Union (1922-1991) and its highest members (such as general secretaries, premiers, presidents, ministers, and commissars). To some extent, it is still used in reference to the government of the Russian Federation. “Kremlinology” referred to the study of Soviet policies. The official residence of the President of Russia is an historic, fortified complex, including four palaces, four cathedrals and the enclosing Kremlin wall with Kremlin towers. Tsars and Soviet leaders have both resided here, showing that through the changes of government the Kremlin remained a significant place in Russian history.

The Red Square is also home to Lenin’s Mausoleum. It seems appropriate to keep Lenin’s body in such a politically charged area of the capital. Lenin’s embalmed body has been on public display there since the year he died in 1924. Tourists are able to pay to visit this famous Soviet leader. However, if you do feel like visiting you must be aware that the Russian’s take he preservation of Lenin very seriously and want you to show extreme levels of respect. The guards will react if you laugh too much, talk too much, make rude comments or even keep your hands in your pockets. An interesting place to visit, so long as you know the rules.

When you enter the Red square, not only will you notice the bright red wall of the Kremlin and be in search of Lenin’s Mausoleum, but you will be struck by the stunning Cathedral situated in the square. This eye catching display of architectural magnificence may actually be the sight that immediately catches your attention first and is often mistaken as being part of The Kremlin itself. The building is a multi-tented, multi-coloured church with distinctive onion shaped domes. It was commissioned by Ivan the Fourth, otherwise known as Ivan the Terrible, to commemorate he capture of the Khanate of Kazan- a medieval Tartar state, which occupied the territory of former Volga Bulgaria between 1438 and 1552.

Russian women are known for their beauty, poise, intelligence, warmth, and strength of their character. Undoubtedly, attributes that a man from any corner of the globe is bound to find appealing. But, making a lasting relation is not easy, more so when your life mate speaks a different language and comes from an entirely different background. It requires mutual respect, understanding and unconditional acceptance for one’s partner. So, for all men who are seeking a Russian bride there are some things you need be very clear about before making any move.

Russian women like their men to be well groomed and hygienic. So, unkempt and untidy men, better pull up your socks before you make a move. They are articulate, fun loving but like things to move slow and steady. So, if you want your relation to last take one step at a time and don’t push things unnecessarily. Also, don’t build a relation based on lies, the biggest spoiler for virtual relations. The bubble eventually bursts someday or the other and it all comes to an end. Russian brides prefer honest and sincere men to be their life partner and expect complete loyalty from their partner.

For those seeking a Russian woman as their life partner, coming across one used to be probably the most difficult part of it. But, not any more since there is no dearth of marriage agencies and online dating and matchmaking sites meant to cater to the Russian bride seeker. To join one of these sites, you need to create a profile filling in about yourself, likes, dislikes and physical attributes as well upload your snaps. Once created, your profile can be accessed by all registered users. You can search the site database and choose amongst the Russian women on the basis of their physical appearance, age or interests and hobbies and then start corresponding with them on an individual basis. Most dating sites allow you to chat, exchange mails and communicate with each other in a secure environment.

You should not go about declaring your love for her in the first few interactions. Give your relation some time and talk about your interests, culture, values and try to show a keen interest in her family, values and tradition.When you’ve spent considerable time knowing each other well, you can take your relationship to the next level; a trip to her homeland where you get to meet her personally and introduce yourself to her family. The Russians and Ukrainians are known for their hospitality and you’ll receive special attention at their place. When you’re invited over at her place it is polite to take a giftalongside and make sure you don’t forget to compliment the food and their home. These sites in fact will also offer you such useful advice and relevant information regarding Russia and The Ukraine, their culture and how to conduct yourself and behave with the Russians. They can also help provide you translation services and personal consultations if required.

All said and done, there are a few fraudulent sites that lure one must be wary of. In the garb of making matches and providing Russian brides, one comes across ”loose” girls who’ll simply pretend to be a descent Russian girl looking for a match and in fact would only be after your money , while a few others simply want to migrate to some other country by marrying a foreigner. So, it’s best to register one self with the better known and reputed online dating sites that have been around for a significant number of years. A whole lot of such sites have a separate section where in the users can post their feedback and experiences.
