Arkhangelsk
Arkhangelsk (Russian: Arha'ngel'sk), formerly called Archangel in English, is a city in and the administrative center of Arkhangelsk Oblast, Russia. It lies on the Northern Dvina River near its exit into the White Sea in the far north of European Russia. Arkhangelsk was the chief sea port of medieval Russia. It is served by Talagi Airport and the smaller Vaskovo Airport, but also is home to Lakhta military air base. Population: 356,051 (2002 Census), 45.0% men and 55.0% women; down from 415,921 recorded in the 1989 Census.For the most part Arkhangelsk has the feel of a typical soviet town, which is gradually crumbling at the edges. This, however, is deceptive as there is a lot of building work and modernisation going on around the town. This is especially true of the area around the Sea and River Station (Морской и Речной Вокзал).
There are the usual reminders of the town's soviet past in the form of statues and war memorials etc. the main difference from other Russian towns being the maritime aspect. Arkhangelsk also boasts a cathederal and a number of interesting smaller churches. The town has five or six small museums including the museum of fine arts. The people are warm and friendly, especially if you have some Russian.
