Lenin Nuclear Icebreaker

Reviewed By shmeva44 - Moscow, Russia

You have to visit this former nuclear icebreaker on a russian tour. Since we didn't understand any of what was being said we just took photos and looked up information online later. The tour moves quite quickly, so we didn't have time to read the English information on the walls.

Semyon the Cat Monument

Reviewed By mansour748 - Tehran, Iran

I really love Seymon. A fat traveler cat. It's statue looks funny but with a hard and amazing story. This cat traveled 2000 kilometers to come back his house. He was sick and skinny when arrived home. So it is the reason why artist create it a fat cat. It seems he feed Seymon during creation. You can sit next to him and whisper in his ear, folk believes it will come true as soon as possible.

Snow Village

Reviewed By J6738MSmarks - Palmerston North, New Zealand

We found this by chance while looking for snow mobile tours in the area around Murmansk. The artists that create the work inside this “underground” wonderland are fantastic. There was around 10 halls or corridors of works, each with a different theme that were fun, incredibly detailed and just breath taking. This place is worth the trip alone to Kirovsk.
