The second largest city of our country after Moscow is Saint Petersburg. It is often called the second, cultural or northern capital of Russia. Its population is three times less – about 5 million people. Although St. Petersburg is relatively young (just 300 years old), it has a rich history. Its name had been changed several times – from Petersburg to Petrograd, from Petrograd to Leningrad, and then back to Petersburg. Here, in 1917, the October Socialist Revolution began. And just after World War II, in 1945, Leningrad was awarded the title of a Hero City for heroism of its citizens during the Siege, which had lasted 872 days and was recognized one of the greatest tragedies of this war. Today Saint Petersburg is renowned for a large number of different kinds of museums, art galleries, cultural and historical monuments. It has an internationally recognized status of a cultural center of global importance.

The Siberian city of Novosibirsk ranks third. By historical standards, it is very young – a trifle over 100 years. Just imagine: for just one century it has grown from a small town to a city with a million-plus population. And this is despite a severe Siberian climate! Today Novosibirsk with its population of over 1.5 million people, due to its well-developed infrastructure and advantageous geographical position is often called the capital of Siberia. Indeed, it is a trade, transport, business, industrial and scientific center of this largest region of Russia.

The fourth in Russia is Yekaterinburg, which is a center of the Ural region. It is one of the principal transport hubs of the Russian Federation, as well as a large industrial center. It was founded in the early 18th century by an order of Peter the Great. During the Civil War it used to be a center of the White Guard movement. And immediately before that the last Russian Tsar Nicolay II with his family was killed there. Now Yekaterinburg is a modern city with high living standards. Its population is about 1.4 million people. Offices of large transnational corporations, banks, transport hubs and business centers are concentrated here.

Finally, Nizhny Novgorod rounds out the top five. This beautiful ancient city with the population of 1.3 million people is spread out on the Volga River in the centre of the country. It is a center of the Volga Federal District. It is one of the ancient Russian cities founded in the 13th century. It's no wonder that there are a lot of sights and cultural monuments. For example, Nizhny Novgorod Kremlin is a unique ancient fortress, which throughout its existence has never been seized by enemies. In the old part of the city there are a lot of other items of interest, ancient buildings and monuments. At the same time, a “new” Nizhny Novgorod is a modern megalopolis with a lot of trade, entertainment, business, educational and scientific centers.
