Join us in Russia June 9–20, 2017.
At this pivotal moment in US-Russia relations, The Nation continues to believe in the power of direct people-to-people interaction as an essential way to foster more productive dialogue and to support peaceful relations between nations. Please join us on our latest trip to Russia—feed your curious mind and adventurous spirit while gaining firsthand insight into Russia’s culture, history, politics, and people.After we fly into St. Petersburg, we’ll check into the 19th-century, five-star Belmond Grand Hotel Europe. We’ll then spend five days touring the renowned sights of this historic city and its surroundings, from the Hermitage and the Nevsky Prospekt to the Grand Palace and gardens of Peterhof, followed by private meetings with distinguished historians, cultural leaders, professors, and curators—and a canal boat tour exploring the city’s 42 islands.
After taking a high-speed train to Moscow, we’ll travel to the city of Sergiyev Posad and the Trinity Lavra of St. Sergius, a UNESCO World Heritage site. This destination brings medieval Russia to life with its stimulating mixture of the country’s most celebrated architecture, iconic paintings, and unique cultural activities. In Moscow, we’ll stay at the InterContinental Tverskaya Hotel, a modern, five-star hotel within walking distance of Red Square. We’ll take a private escorted tour of the Kremlin and meet with Pavel Palazhchenko (Mikhail Gorbachev’s longtime interpreter and colleague) as well as independent media and cultural leaders. We’ll also visit the remarkable Gulag Museum, the Jewish Museum and Tolerance Center, Gorky Park, and the famed Novodevichy Cemetery.
