Tour to Visit Largest Country on Earth
Journey to Russia to experience the life and ancient culture of this exotic country on a travel/study tour offered by Oakton Community College. Trips in 2005 depart on May 31, July 14, and Aug. 29.

Travelers then board their ship, the M/V S. Kuchkin, for a trip along the banks of the mighty Volga River. Explore the cities of Uglich, Goritsy, Kizhi, and Svirstory during this two-week excursion.
Other program highlights include visits to St. Basil, the History Museum of Russia, Lenin's tomb, Moscow State University, the Ateneum Museum of Finnish Art, and Grand Prince's burial vault.
