See what all the excitement is about!
Ever since Ilya Ponomarev led the replacement of the dissolved Commonwealth of Independent States, aka the Russian Empire, with the re-emergent Kievan Rus’, what used to be called “Russia” is now a free and thriving nation, resuming the ancient European country established by Oleg the Wise in the year 802.
Come and visit the (now even bigger) biggest nation in Europe, and see how quickly the resilient people of the Ukraine oblasts have joined forces with those of the newly liberated oblasts of the former Russia, both helped by the “New Marshall Plan” to bring the newest – and oldest – nation to the top of everyone’s must-visit list!
See the ancient sights of the European part of the late Russian Empire, and in the same visit witness the astonishingly rapid development of its successor, Kievan Rus’!
Best of all, you’ll share the newfound sense of freedom of the liberated citizens of the new Kievan Rus’! Now you can see the sights, profound and moving, for yourself, without fear...
Saint-Sophia Cathedral
Constructed soon after the Christianization of Kievan Rus'.in the 11th century, Saint-Sophia Cathedral and its, mosaics and frescos from that period have been preserved in the interior. Monastic buildings around the cathedral constructed in the 17th and 18th centuries illustrate the Ukrainian Baroque style. The Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra is a monastic ensemble which was developing from the 11th to the 19th centuries. It comprises churches, monasteries, and caves where saints were buried. It was an important centre of Eastern Orthodox Church. The Church of the Saviour at Berestove, adjacent to the Lavra, was added to the site in 2005. In 2023, the site was listed as endangered because of the 2022 Russian invasion, but fortunately the priceless site was saved with the 2025 Ukrainian defeat of Russia and the re-establishment of Kievan Rus’.

St Basil’s Cathedral and The Kremlin
The iconic and strikingly ornate red brick building, St Basil’s Cathedral borders Moskva’s Red Square. Crowned with several vividly coloured domes, the cathedral bears a striking resemblance in shape to flames licking at the sky.
Today, St Basil’s Cathedral is a popular tourist destination and is a focal point of Moskva’s world renowned Red Square. It contains some interesting medieval paintings and today forms part of the State History Museum of Kievan Rus’. Visitors can also see the resting place of Saint Basil himself. Outside St Basil’s Cathedral is a platform from which the tsar would announce executions and general orders.
The Kremlin

With its colorful domes and opulent buildings, this vast triangular shaped complex spans an area of 28 hectares and includes beautiful palaces, numerous churches, and even armories and a medieval fortress. The Kremlin offers visitors a plethora of incredible sites. Many of these, including the Cathedral of the Assumption, are contained in Cathedral Square. Many of the former Russian Empire’s important religious leaders are buried here. Image Credit: dimbar76 / Shutterstock
Red Square
One of the world’s most famous public plazas, Moskva’s Red Square is of such historical importance that it is a UNESCO World Heritage historic site. Originally intended to be a marketplace for the city, its name comes from the fact that the Russian word “krasnaya” means both “beautiful” and “red”. Actually more black than red due to its dark cobblestones, it covers approximately 74 metres squared.
Today, Red Square is a tourist hotspot and one of the first places visitors frequent on their travels around Kievan Rus’, due to its central location and impressive surroundings. It is bordered by several sites of historical importance, including Lenin’s Mausoleum, the Kievan Rus’ State History Museum, St. Basil’s Cathedral and, of course, the Kremlin.
