It is no secret that many of us yearn for the past - carefree Soviet childhood, hilarious Komsomol youth, when it seemed that the front - a great life, and in their hands - the whole world. The USSR was the coolest country on the planet, and friends of the fifteen republics were his, family, and not foreigners. Perhaps it is necessary to visit them?
Ukraine - it is not just fat!
Of course, the start of the journey Ukraine with the best of the capital - the city-hero Kiev . Kiev beautiful in any season, but especially good early fall and late spring. In the autumn of Kiev blaze chestnuts on Khreschatyk strolling couples in love, and of the sweet shop sipping fragrant Kyiv cake - and every Soviet citizen it is known that there is in the world better than a cake "Kiev".
Ways to walk on Kiev - several. Those who are interested in the history of the ancient Kievan Rus, should definitely visit the St. Andrew's descent - on these hills was conceived great state. Fans of modern otsenyat transformed into a huge underground shopping center Maidan Nezalezhnosti (Independence Square). A fatal romance let them try to find in a quiet central courtyard monument Hedgehog in the Fog - the same one with uzelochki in the legs ...
Walked in Kiev, you can go on - or in the direction of Lviv, in the west (western Ukraine quite similar to Ukraine east) - there we will find European (sometimes even Gothic) neighborhoods in the cities; or go to the east, in the direction of Kharkiv, which is perhaps the most "Russian" of all Ukrainian cities with the Kharkiv - monumental, magnificent, marble suddenly replaced by a ridiculous two-storey blocks, which without any preparation you can immediately make a film about the end XIX century.
Well, if you decide to go south (because Ukraine - it is also Crimea), then, before descending to the fertile peninsula, you should definitely stop in Odessa. This city-legend is still the unofficial capital of humor, but to understand it, is not enough to walk the streets. You should always ride in the local public transport (ideally - in the rush hour) and in the morning on a Saturday or Sunday, go to the Privoz - local central market. By the way, starting with Odessa and then moving to the south, you can start wine tours: here there are famous vineyards, many of which are more than one hundred years.

Belarus - not only Zubrovka!
No bickering between the heads of states will not be able to embroil the Russian and Belarusians - too closely for a long time and our peoples have sprouted into each other. Especially clearly understand that, being in Minsk : Dazzlingly clean, very quiet for the capital city, which consistently meet some greetings from the past, which, as it turns out, has long toskuesh. For example, in the modern café, in addition to the standard set of dishes can be ordered semolina or rice pudding with jam and a cup of sour cream. In the clothing stores Minsk it is not difficult to find such rare items of clothing like leggings, leggings, trousers and "combination" - by the way, absolutely excellent quality! In the huge supermarket rolls panic - completely unknown, for what's missing: in Belarus produce bread, milk and meat products of such high quality (and such forgotten the taste - just from my childhood!), you begin to convince yourself: bursting, but eat.
By the way, going in the way of other Belarusian cities - Mogilev, Mstislavl, Grodno, Vitebsk, Brest you have even more chances to remember the taste of childhood - the fact that the Belarus It has not been a large-scale privatization of large enterprises, and many food products are still produced by state plant for the Soviet guests. That's the whole secret.
The most famous historical monument Belarus - It definitely Brest Fortress, known to every fan of military history. But the most famous natural monument is the reserve "Bialowieza Forest", which still live rarest animals - the European bison.

Moldova - not only the "White Stork"!
Republic Moldova broke away from the Soviet Union for a long time, which is a pity: this favorable climate and such modest hardworking people like Moldovans, still have to search. Capital Moldova , city Kishinev , At the end of the Soviet era has been repeatedly recognized the most green capital of Europe. And today Kishinev from early spring to late autumn buried in the foliage of maples, chestnuts, acacias: so many trees and they grow so fast that the main public transportation capital - trolley - continually suffers from the fact that the branches and then fall on contact wires.
The main property of the republic - the grapes and all that it is made. Now the country operates 184 wine companies. By the way, during Gorbachev's "dry law" when madmen from the power cut down elite vineyards, the age of which at times exceeded three hundred years, the Moldovan winemakers, at the risk of going to jail, hid in their homes seedlings of valuable and rare varieties, to save them from total annihilation . By the way, just save the oldest collection of wines: Now you can enjoy it in a secret room in Chisinau cellars. The most famous spirits, coming from Moldova for export, of course, it is the brandy (though exact - brandy), "White Stork".
Spoil the health of alcohol here, in Moldova, and to correct it: there are several spa resorts, the cost of services which is ten times lower than in similar European hospitals, and the effect - the same. Located in the resort cities of Kamenka, Cahul and Calarasi. Treat here and curative mud and fresh air and, of course, products of winemaking.
Special attention should be closed territory - unrecognized republic of Transdniestria. To enter it, you will need to cross the border cordon. However, with any bureaucratic difficulties, you will probably not encounter.
