russiatravel.us Noble estates in MOSCOW http I am a Russian woman. I live in Texas now. I came to America in November of 2007 with my son and my cat. My husband is American. We live near Dallas. Excuse me for my English. I imagine I can write and make some mistakes. I didn’t speak English before I came to America. I like to live here very much, but I want to tell you about Russia in this blog. People travel a lot now. But the most interesting journey - the journey to your friends. My two adult daughters are living in Russia. They will be very glad to meet you and guide the trip. You will see not only beautiful Russian cities, Moscow, St. Petersburg and Yaroslavl, but also you will visit the Orthodox monastery on Volga river, in the Russian village. We can help you plan the trip. We invite you to Russia! Email me at VisitingRussia@gmail.com Today we are visiting old estates. Izmailovo, Tsaritsyno, Kolomenskoye were tsar's family villages. Kuskovo, Arkhangelskoye, Ostankino, Kuzminki, Yasenevo were former country estates belonging to the Counts and powerful noble family. In the 16-18 centuries these estates were far from Moscow. It is now a territory of the city.
