You can organize an exciting and memorable trip not only through the cities, but also through the villages of Russia. We have collected 5 of the most interesting locations.
Yaroslavl region, Vyatka
The village of Vyatskoye is located in the Yaroslavl region. The year of foundation is 1502. Not only landowners lived in this place, but also quite wealthy merchants, thanks to which the village developed very quickly and confidently. At the beginning of the 19th century, the village looked more like a small town – streets were landscaped, stone and wooden mansions were erected, cobblestones were laid, churches were built. Today, only a part of the things of that time have been preserved – ten museums have been opened in the village.
Arkhangelsk region, Kimzha
In the 15th century, one of the surviving villages, Kimzha, was founded. It is located on the banks of the Kimzha River and is popular with tourists. Once here, you can see the preserved monuments of wooden architecture, a tent church and two-storey huts. There are also mills in the village, one of which is an active museum. Another museum in the village is the ethnographic one.
If you want to learn a new skill, visit a local craft school – tourists will be taught how to sculpt fish roasting dishes and fabric on antique looms.
Buryatia, Bolshoy Kunaley
If you are traveling in Buryatia, visit the village of Bolshoy Kunaley, inhabited in 1765. The main feature of this place is a special kind of houses. Villagers painted fences and houses in bright, beautiful colors – this tradition has been preserved today.

For the first time, the mention of the village of Kinerma was found in the "Scribe's Book of the Obonezhskaya Pyatina".
