Skidiving in Russia

Russia offers tourists from different parts of the world attractions of all kinds. Tourists have an opportunity to get acquainted with the life of Russian people, as well as admire the beauty of Russian nature. My favorite adventure in Russia is on Russian river cruises. There is nothing like sailing on the Volga river. But some people prefer a more extreme way of spending their vacation in Russia.

Aerobatic tours are organized especially for those people, who are not afraid flying on jets. Many people admire the beauty of these metallic birds, passing with incredible speed in the sky.

Tourists can choose between several kinds of aerobatic tours. Mostly two kinds of tours are organized, which are aerobatic flights and aerobatic tours. Aerobatic tours take tourists across Moscow and the Golden Ring of Moscow. Usually two kinds of planes are used for the tours, among them L-39 Albatross and MiG-29 Falcrum. Helicopters are used for aerial tours of cities. Tourists will be given an opportunity to pilot the plane in a case they are eager to do it. Those tourists, who want to take part in an extreme aerobatic tour, should try flights on famous MiG fighter jets.

Most aerobatic tours last not more than 20-25 minutes, while aerobatic tours will take 30-35 minutes. Only aerial tours last about three hours, so tourists must take it into consideration.

The aerobatic tours are organized with safety, so tourists must not worry about it. Before flight, the tourists have a chance to get a picture with the pilot, so they will remember this unforgettable day. Aerobatic tours are really very exciting and brief taking.

Siberia was a place where many State convicts were sent for sentence, among them many prominent people of Russia.

Omsk is also famous for its theatres. The first wooden theatre was built in 1872, but later was destroyed by the great fire. In 1901 the construction of the first brick theatre in Omsk started.

There are many convents and monasteries in Omsk. Atchair convent is one of the places in Omsk, which is very often visited by the tourists. This convent was built at the beginning of the 20th century, when St. Ivan Kronshtadtsky blessed the site near a Cossack village. The convent was closed in the 1930-es and became a prison, where 200 thousands of prisoners died of hunger, cold and hard labor.
