Another recent city is Kalinin, and today the administrative center of the Tver region - Tver is striking for its versatility. After visiting here one day, I want to come here again and again.
The city with Moscow ambitions and St. Petersburg nobility and high "calm" geographically stuck between two eternally opposing megacities of the greatest importance . Having a fascinating centuries-old history in the baggage, Tver continues today move in step with the times: take possession of its ancient streets of fast food, fashion boutiques, already competes with the monument of Afanasy Nikitin, a traveler who went for three seas, singer Mikhail Krug, cast from bronze, masterfully seated on a bench on the boulevard Radishchev, and the ancient pavement rides pompous European cars .
In summer all this framed by lush greenery of Russian long-birch birch trees and slender poplars, and in winter all trees are covered with a white snow coat and when looking at the suddenly sad figure of a white-haired beauty, poetic lines pop up: "I covered myself with snow, like silver ". Krasotischa, in a word, and its own, domestic.
