Russian Buildings Pretty Enough to Eat

Are we supposed to love or hate Russia right now? Yeah, they hosted a fabulous Olympics; then, less than three weeks later, decided to slice off a piece of another country. One thing's for sure: While Russian borscht is nothing to write home about, some of the great cityscapes are sweet enough to entice even the most Putin-hating foodie. Why let politics get in the way of any tasty tour? After all, as the Russians have no trouble telling the world: bite me!
