I was born in Abakan, and I would love to see Southern Siberia (the steppes in particular). Then I’d like to make my way to St. Petersburg, then up to Poland. And I’ll get to see my remaining Russian/ Polish family.
How to travel to Russia
How I did it: First we booked a hotel in St. Petersburg who sent us an invite into the country for the length of our stay at their hotel. Then we filled out the form from the Russian embassy's website and went to the Russian embassy in Gothenburg. Since the paper work was done before we got there all that we had to do was pay imediately at the nearest bank the fee for the process of our papers and show them the reciept. Two weeks later we picked them up there.
People doing this are also doing these things:

This has been on my “list” for as long as I can remember. I want to see the places, the people and most of all the history.
Would love to! Would love to!
Big dream, big goal but i will get there!...
Eventually!
You have to go to “Vagzal” or railway station, take train and go 8 hours to vew days east, east-north or east south to Russian village. That is real Russia.
I highly recomend you Kastrama, small towns like Neja…
Also I like Jaroslavlj and St. Peterborg more then Moscow.
