"Visiting Chuvashia" Chuvashskaya Respublika by Gebe2000

Do you know the land where Lenins father, I.N.Uljanov, lived and worked? It's chuvashia, a small russian republic at Wolga region, between Nishnij Nowgorod and Kazan. Where the most beautiful town of Russia in 2002 is located: Cheboksary, the capital of Chuvashia.
It's a very good place to live and relax.

Cheboksary - Harbor basin

We've seen Cheboksary and Novocheboksarsk, modern cities in northern chuvashia. You can buy everything, you will find any kind of service, hotels, shops, industry, amusement and so on. Ok, sometimes you have to go in search of it, but it's not that difficult to find your way.
We've also seen traditional Chuvashia. The countryside, an exciting experience of a traditionel way of life. Did you know that there is an traditional religion with 99 gods and a lot of related customs?

Handshake - Mr. President and I

Well, I was there more then 20 times. Together with my friends I brought some delegations to chuvashia, including a youth group and some political and economical delegations. So we made lots of experiences (e.g.: we met the president of Chuvash Republic, Mr. Fjodorov - see foto nearby). As far as you're interested, feel free to get in touch with me.

• Pros:Lots of nature, very, very friendly people, nearly no crime.
• Cons:Industrial centres in the north of Chuvashia.
• In a nutshell:A very interesting part of Russia - must been there!
