    Accomodation in Moscow is ridiculusly expensive. Your best bet is Petersburg and go to the theatre / Hermitage etc I would advise an organised tour if you dont speak Russian The Russians make getting a visa hard work so apply early through the consulate in Edinburgh. Why not try "The Creamea in the Ukraine -very hot then.Or experience Russia for half the price in Estonia (Tallin ) Lj
