　　While the collection of '70s Soviet bric-a-bric in this museum isn't particularly original, you get free rein over the place, which means photo-ops galore. Dress yourself up (don't worry, it's allowed!) as a Soviet apparatchik, country dyevushka (girl) or Great Patriotic War soldier and snap away. The museum is housed...

The 2nd floor also has a room of 17th-century European (mostly Dutch) masters, a collection of icons and several rooms dedicated to 18th-to-19th-century...

Monument to First Traffic Light

　　This humorous monument portraying a stumpy little man staring up at a bendy traffic light is based at the rumoured site of the city’s first ever traffic light. It's worth a quick diversion if you're in the southern part of town. ...

Cathedral of the Ascension

　　The gold-domed 1914 Cathedral of the Ascension has a wonderful, colourful interior with a soaring central space that’s unexpected given its fairly squat exterior appearance. ...
