I Want to Visit Russia

IN 1983, my mom, sister,5 yr old niece, and I flew to Helsinki Finland and traveled by boat to Saint Petersburg, Russian. The city was beautiful, but, boy was it cold! We went in April!

There were very few Western tourists in the early 80s, even though it was already the post-glastnost era. You guys were practically pioneers!

It was through Bennett Touts. I don’t know if they are stil around. We flew to Helsinki, boarded a boat to St Petersburg. We were there for 3 days. I would like to go back— sometime. @QuixoticSoul

I have been there over 20 times--I used to teach Russian history in the US and organized student exchanges with Russian and Ukrainian schools

It is a beautiful, beautiful place. @Docdon23

@Pauly Yes, beautiful, with many wonderful people, and a very rich culture. The music and literature are what first attracted me!!
