What is the best way for foreigners to know Russia better?

тексту презентации.
The majority of Americans still have stereotypes of Russia, which stem from the Cold War
period. Few Americans have visited modern Russia. Most of them have been to St.
Petersburg or Moscow. Usually they get to Russia by plane and as a rule in summer. So they
could not get a feel of real Russia. .Thus the best way for a foreigner willing to know and
understand Russia is the train journey in winter.

The best way for foreigners to know Russia better is to take a long train journey to the
“depth” of this country to understand the size of it, how local people survive in winter and
what kind of people they are. So thanks to this train ride you can get rid of all stereotypes
about Russia and Russians.
