Russia was the most powerful country in the world between 1947-1989.....and now they are 2nd only to the united states. If the U.S. were to get into war with russia at the moment Russia would win for it has a far more faster production of military supplies since its the most powerful industrial nation in the world at the moment. Russia for the time being has the most nukes in the world.
Moscow and St. Petersburg are visited the most since they are easiest to access, safest and most developed cities in Russia, with most of the cultural, architectural and historic treasures of Russia between them. There are other places to visit for a variety of landscapes, cultures and experiences, but such trips have to be carefully planned with friends and reputable travel agencies. See the article Tourism in Russia on wikipedia.
