From Dacha to Winter Palace, from Easter Eggs to Kremlin, here is a photographic alphabet of everything we love best about Russia.

The Russian Federation is a vast land of forests and steppes, deserts, rivers, lakes and big cities.

Over centuries of splendour, revolution and change, our country has produced some of the greatest scientists, sportsmen and women, writers, dancers and composers in the world.

The perfect introduction to a fascinating country.
