I would love a chance to win an ARC and review it on my blog !
I would love to see the northern lights, wrapped up in snuggly blankets with my husband and some warm mulled wine. Bliss
It would have to be the great wall of China great giveaway
I would love to visit Red Square…
Interesting my stepfather was Russian an my son lives in Australia sounds like I should read it
Siberia and the East of Russia. I’ve just finished reading Kolymsky Heights by Lionel Davidson which is set there. Fantastic adventure in the frozen landscape.
Top of my list would be a visit to the Bolshoi Theatre to see a ballet. I’d also love to wander around Red Square. I’d then hop on a train to St Petersburg to see some of the incredible palaces there, such as the Winter Palace and the Marble Palace.
St Petersburg….but would have to say Trans Siberian Railway if I had my husband with me!!
I would love to visit the Hermitage in St Petersburg
I only recently discovered this wonderful author when I was given 2 books for my birthday. I loved her writing and would love to read more about Russia
I’d love to see everything in Russia, a Trans Siberian Railway holiday would be my dream. I reread Gill’s No Place For a Lady just recently…my favourite story so far.
I would love to visit the Hermitage in St Petersburg and see the Bolshoi Ballet. My two passions of art and ballet together
I would love to spend a whole day travelling the underground and see
up close the masterpieces on the walls that I have so far only seen in books. Most of the main tourist areas I have already seen and been enthralled with.
Would love to see as many aspects of this country which would highlight its diversity both present and past as is possible
The romantic in me would love to visit Ireland’s Giant’s Causeway. As for Russia … A horse drawn carriage ride in the snow would be magical.
I would love to see the bolshoi ballet
My neighbours took a Russian holiday in January and said it was a fascinating country. I’d love to see The Kremlin in the flesh (Russian chocolate is not great though lol)
Been to St. Petersburg a couple of times and love it. So now Moscow is top of the list. Would love to see the amazing underground system.
I was in Moscow last year and loved seeing St Basil’s and Red Square at night. I didn’t see much of the underground stations though and I believe they are works of art.
I’ve never been to Russia -so to visit anywhere there would be wonderful – the buildings we’ve seen during the world cup look great.
Amazing country – st Petersburg would be amazing to see
There are so many places I would love to see, the Kremlin, Red Square, St Basil’s Cathedral, Lenin’s Mausoleum, The Bolshoi Theatre, The Church of the Savior on Spilled Blood … basically I would just love to go sightseeing in Russia …
St Basil’s Cathedral and Red Square look amazing. I’d love to visit Russia and will do so virtually when I read Gill Paul’s new book.
St Petersburg would be high on my list but anywhere in Russia really
Never been to Russia but when I see images of the stunning cathedral that looks almost fairytale like it must be a wondrous site to see.
St Petersburgs the square red off course l have heard the russian ballet is amazing love to go and watch a performance.
The Kremlin building has always fascinated me.
St Petersburg would be lovely x
Love Gill Paul’s books! Would love to see Red Square in Moscow.
After watching the World Cup I never really realised how beautiful Russia was, would definitely love to visit and would love to see the ballet.
Moscow itself, as I hear it’s beautiful.
The Trans Siberian Express and see as much of the country as possible .
Has to be the amazing St Petersburg!!
Would love to attend the 100 year memorial
The architecture in Russia looks brilliant and that’s something I love to see. Haven’t been to Russia yet but it is on my ‘wish list’
When I was flying back from my travels in S.E. Asia, with Aeroflot, we were grounded in Moscow due to them having overbooked the onward flight to London.
As we didn’t have visas (this was in 1983!) we were not allowed to leave the hotel, which was divided into 2 halves by a glass wall, one half for those possessing visas, the other for those without!
We had no hand luggage, not even a toothbrush or spare underwear, so we had to improvise with scrubbing our teeth with salt from the dining room & washing out our underwear in the basin with a bar of soap!
We were held captive for 5 days in all, we were taken every morning at 5am to the airport, & every morning the onward flight was overbooked!
Sensing our growing anger, the airline did treat us to a coach trip around the sights of Moscow but we were not allowed to leave the coach!
On the 5th day we were taken to the airport & yet again there was no room on the onward flight. Finally, we had all had enough & we staged a sit-down strike, refusing to leave the airport! Some very burly female policewomen came to haul us up, but we resisted & the airline realised they had pushed us far enough, so within a few hours we were on a first class flight with BA to Vienna & thence to London!
My hold luggage ended up in Paris….but that’s another story!!
So, I would love to return to Moscow one day & take my time seeing all the sights, not just out of a coach window! 🙂
St Petersberg is on my ‘to see’ list.
I would love to do the Trans-Siberian Express – stopping along the way to explore the length and breadth of this fascinating country. Thanks for the opportunity to enter.
Would love to got to St Petersbiurg and to Moscow to see red Square
I’d love to see St Petersburg, especially the Hermitage.
Fingers crossed my name is picked out!
I’d love to see the Kremlin and the Red Square.
In films they look beautiful.
Real life? Must be breathtaking…
I would love to visit Croatia.
I’ve never been to Russia, so anywhere would be amazing!

Has to be St Petersburg. Wish I was there for the 100 year memorial
The Kremlin and Red Square
Would love to visit many sites including Red Square, the Kremlin, St Petersburg and the Bolshoi Ballet!!,
I would love to visit Kihzi Island and the Lena Pillars. And also Saint Petersburg because beauty and history!
Red Square and the Kremiln are a must see for me.
I would love to go to Stop Petersburg and I am a bit of a train geek so I’ve always wanted to take the trans Siberian express and see everywhere!
I just love this cover – even if I don’t win I’ll add this to my to-buy list (probably jinxed it by saying that). I’ve always wanted to see St Petersburg. I’ve read so much NF and F on the Romanovs – would love to add this one to the read-list. Thanks for the chance.
