Other Links of General Interest
Remember also our general travel section
is full of all sorts of links to Russian themed things
- Russia Today
- An excellently presented daily on-line newspaper about Russia.
- Sovietski Collection
- Expensive but nearly unique Russian gifts ranging from former Kremlin silver tea spoons
to army surplus to now collector item type Soviet memorabilia. Well worth a browse.
- Romanov
Russia
- Amazing Russian antiques - don't ask me
how they were taken out of Russia. If you have any interest in
Imperial Russia, then you'll find these items incredibly tempting!
- Inside Russia
- A site about Russia published by the Wash DC conservative think tank, the Heritage
Foundation.
- KremlinKam
- A live camera shows realtime images of the Kremlin - I think it must be mounted on or
about the Rossia Hotel. Wonderful views over Red Square, St Basils, and the Kremlin
Walls.
- St Petersburg Webcam 1
- Ah - to be back in St Peterburg. This webcam, updated hourly, looks along one of
the canals to Nevsky Prospect.
- St Petersburg Webcam 2
- Bonus - not only a webcam looking onto Nevsky Prospect, but also offers realtime
Realvideo of the street if you click on one of the two webtv icons. Amazing.
- Weather - Moscow
- Four day forecast and current conditions.
- Weather - St Petersburg
- Four day forecast and current conditions.
- Dazhdbog's
Grandchildren
- A much more "human" approach
to Russia and the internet than many other sites. Worth a visit even
if you can't pronounce its name!
- On-line Dictionary
- A bit of a gimmick, but if you don't have that Russian-English/English-Russian
dictionary lying around, it is a great substitute. It also saves the difficulty of
remembering the sequence of letters in the Russian alphabet when looking up Russian words
(!) but you of course have to have your computer "Russified" first.
