When I visited Yasnaya Polyana during a recent trip to Moscow, it was obvious why this was Tolstoy's favourite place from where he wrote his masterpieces. Even during a visit there in the 21st century, you can't help to be taken aback by the peace and tranquillity of its idyllic setting, with its avenues of birch trees, dense woodland and expansive lakes. Tolstoy's house itself was wonderfully preserved and you could almost feel his literary presence there with you!

'The Golden Ring' refers to the towns and cities that make up one of Russia's oldest routes located north-east of Moscow. If you were to visit these towns starting from Moscow, you would travel in a circle (hence a ring) ending up back in Moscow. The ‘Golden’ part comes from the fact that these towns and cities represent over 1,000 years of rich Russian history written in stone and wood, from an 850-year old church in Rostov to a 19th-century log house in Suzdal's open-air museum.Each of these ‘Golden’ towns once played an important role in the history of Russia and was connected in one way or another with famous historical figures such as Alexander Nevsky, Ivan the Terrible, Peter the Great and many others. The classic route starts from Moscow and goes anti-clockwise through Vladimir, Suzdal, Kostroma, Yaroslavl, Rostov Velikiy, Pereslavl-Zalesskiy and Sergiev Posad.
