The capital in Russia posters
Moscow is the most heavily populated city in Russia, as well as the largest city on the European continent. It is an
iconic and global city these days, not to mention the key political, economic, cultural and scientific centre of not
only Russia, but all of Eastern Europe. Renowned for the Red Square, the Kremlin and St. Basil’s cathedral and many,
many more attractive sights, Moscow is heavily featured and well represented in Russia posters. This metropolis of
Russia has a long history and as with any historical city, it hides a lot of secrets, making it a very charming and
intriguing entity. For example, Moscow’s red Kremlin used to be white! Nowadays the Kremlin is a distinctive red
colour, as you can see in the Russia poster entitled The Fortified Walls of Moscow Kremlin. This fabulous piece can
make any space more interesting, no matter if it is residential, corporate or recreational. The Kremlin is also the
biggest active medieval fortress in the world, whose territory spans more than 27 hectares and where the walls are
over 2.5 kilometers long. Twenty towers are sprinkled across the grounds, each with its own personal name, apart from
two oddly anonymous towers. You can see some of these in the Russia poster named Fireworks over Kremlin, a beautiful
photograph that looks magical and can act as the ideal focal point in your interior decoration.
Getting to know the subject
Russia is the world’s largest country in terms of area. It covers 17 million sq km, accounting for more than one ninth
of Earth’s entire terrestrial area! It has been described as many things, but one of the most famous and perhaps
definite characterizations came from one of the greatest political minds of all time, Winston Churchill. He put it
memorably and distinctly as Russia being a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma. This enigmatic nature can be
seen in such Russia posters like Steps inside Saint Basil's Cathedral, where the details are so richly rendered that
you feel like you are about to be transported to this popular and renown church. Russia has a long and rich cultural
history, steeped in literature, painting, classical music and ballet. For instance the Mariinsky Ballet in Saint
Petersburg is a world-famous ballet company in Russia and highly esteemed. Russia poster has a beautiful view of this
amazing city in the motif named Saint Petersburg, which is depicted in an artsy and colourful fashion. An item such as
this can make the difference in any room.
Religion in Russia posters
There are nearly 5,000 registered religious associations in Russia. More than half follow the Russian Orthodox Church,
according to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation. Islam is the second largest religion since
about 10 percent to 15 percent of Russians practice Islam. You can see plenty of these religious sentiments in Russia
posters, like for example in the image named Church of Saint Nicholas, Moscow. A stunning piece of architecture, this
site is rightfully considered as one of the most ornate churches in Russia. The miraculous ‘Surety of Sinners’ icon of
the Mother of God is stored in the St. Nicholas church. Furthermore, the church is associated with the personality and
work of Leo Tolstoy, who is considered the master of realistic fiction and one of the world's greatest novelists.
