As strange as it might sound, Russians and Muscovites are huge fans of boiled corn when the weather is cold as a filling, nutritious snack. Smothered in butter and salt, you’ll find that this treat, whether it’s in a cup or on the cob, is a favorite in the capital.

Many Eastern European countries have their own beloved dumplings, and Russia is no exception. Arguably their favorite comfort food is pelmeni, a small boiled dumpling which is filled with minced meat, mushrooms, and herbs.

]]>We’re wondering if bridges have ever collapsed due to the weight of all the locks! But anyway, the act itself is a lovely one and we’ve compiled a few places that follow this practice.
Pont des Arts Bridge
The Pont des Arts Bridge is located in the city of love: Paris. It’s the most famous love lock location, and the weight of the total number of locks is equal to 93 metric tons. Wow!
Malá Strana District
The Mala Strana district located in the Czech Republic boasts colorful padlocks probably placed by young sweethearts. The locks add a colorful hue to the bridge and compliment the young vibe of Prague quite nicely.
Vodootvodny Canal
Vovoodtvodny Canal situated in Moscow, Russia houses the love lock tree. This one is a tad different from the others since it showcases a lock tree instead of your typical bridge. Oh, and don’t worry, the tree isn’t damaged by the weight of the locks since it’s made of iron. Phew!

However, the Russia’s capital city isn’t her only “model”. Makeeva has traveled across the globe and captured our Mother Nature’s beauty.

]]>For a period in history it was a capital of tsarist Russia, then the Soviet Union and now of the modern Russian Federation, which makes it one of the cities with the most historical significance on the continent.
It is also the second largest city in Europe, right after Istanbul, the capital of Turkey. But don’t mistake Moscow for something from the past – modern day Moscow is one of the wealthiest and most vibrant cities in Europe, famous for its nightlife that can rarely be experienced elsewhere.
In the center of the city lies the Red Square, one of the most beautiful squares in the world. There you can visit the mausoleum of Lenin, where the embalmed body of the great communist leader is on public display.
The square is also the location of the most recognizable landmark of Moscow and perhaps all of Russia – the enchanting, incredibly colorful Saint Basil’s Cathedral.
On one of the borders of the Red Square you can see the great Kremlin, the former tsar’s Moscow residence, which now serves as the official residence of the President of the Russian Federation and a popular museum.
