Historic Marvels

Russia’s history begins with a group of states known as Kievan Rus around the 9th century, which is seen as the foundation of the Russian nation. Over time, this region grew and developed into a powerful kingdom.

Historical Wonders

In the 1500s, Ivan the Terrible became the first Tsar, marking the start of centuries of royal rule. Later on, leaders like Peter the Great and Catherine the Great helped expand and modernize the country, turning it into a massive empire.

By the early 1900s, many people were unhappy with the Tsars, and in 1917, a revolution ended the monarchy. This led to the creation of the Soviet Union, a communist state ruled by the Communist Party.

Natural Wonders

For much of the 20th century, the Soviet Union was a global superpower, especially during the Cold War with the United States.

But by 1991, the Soviet Union collapsed due to economic problems and political changes. After that, Russia became an independent country again, known as the Russian Federation.
