Saint Petersburg – The Venice of the North
Soar above Saint Petersburg, Russia’s imperial city, where the Winter Palace, Peter and Paul Fortress, and Church of the Savior on Spilled Blood stand as masterpieces of art and history. The Neva River and its bridges create stunning reflections, while the grandeur of Palace Square and the Hermitage Museum define the city’s elegance.
Kazan – The Cultural Crossroads
Fly over Kazan, where Tatar and Russian heritage blend seamlessly. The Kazan Kremlin, Qol Sharif Mosque, and Söyembikä Tower dominate the skyline, surrounded by the Volga River’s peaceful flow. A city where Orthodox churches and Islamic architecture coexist, Kazan’s aerial beauty is a testament to Russia’s diverse identity.
Ufa – The Green Capital of Bashkortostan
Ufa, set among rolling hills and vast forests, is a city of both industry and nature. From the Salavat Yulaev Monument overlooking the Belaya River to the modern cityscape, Ufa’s aerial views highlight its natural surroundings and urban development.
Novosibirsk – Siberia’s Metropolis
Novosibirsk, the largest city in Siberia, is a mix of Soviet-era architecture, modern skyscrapers, and scientific innovation. The Bugrinsky Bridge, Alexander Nevsky Cathedral, and the mighty Ob River showcase a city built on resilience and progress, standing as Russia’s gateway to the east.
Karabash – The Industrial Wasteland
Unlike the others, Karabash tells a different story—one of industrial scars and environmental impact. Known as one of the most polluted places in Russia, its barren, otherworldly landscape from decades of copper smelting is both haunting and striking. The aerial perspective reveals blackened hills, abandoned factories, and a stark contrast to Russia’s greener regions.
