Touch Of Russian Soul: Wooden Buildings of Russia!

Hello,

To get a touch of the soul of Russia, watch this video.

As Svet and I travel Russia and Ukraine these are the types of churches and buildings you will encounter. Wood is plentiful and other building materials are not, so you have wooden structures that have denied the ravages of time. The craftsmen were artists and they took tremendous care in their construction methods.

We present this video to show you a touch of a little bit of soul from Russia and her Wooden Buildings.
