Russian Park is a huge recreational area of 200 hectares, opened in the summer of 2014. As conceived by businessman Sergey Efimenko, who invented the Russian Park it should be Russian world in a miniature: all world achievements of national civilization from classical music to Guryev porridge.
It is a place where tourists can join in these achievements and it is one of the Russian symbols, Pleshcheevo Lake shore in Pereslavl-Zalessk. It is a historic landscape and is included in the Golden Ring of Russia. In this background of the landscape seven museums are opened representing the Classic Russia, which many have forgotten, or never knew it existed: Russian inventions and Russian fashion, the Russian measures of volume and weight, Russian classical music, Russian manor house and life of the XIX century, Russian reading and writing, Russian tea and Russian kvass. In a perfect world, a visit to the Russian World has to show to the tourists that the representative of the Russian civilization has little to do with cliched character of human bear who wears felt boots (valenki), playing the accordion, drinking vodka and assembles the Kalashnikov.
The roads from museum to museum designed as themed alleys and fields, so the trip can be combined with the study of carved architraves, traditional painting and fairy-tale characters.
Gastronomy tourism is a separate subject to be developed by the "Russian world". Special gastronomic tours are offered. The guests are entertained with not only in the tavern called "Ryapushka" (vendace) with its "tsar" menu and amazing dishes like borscht of five kinds of meat and vendace itself in various variants. They also entertain the visitors in the museum of kvass, where there are 12 kinds of kvass, and in the Museum of tea where they serve exotic tea such as prairieweed and willow-herb tea accompanied by the traditional desserts: more than 20 types of honey and original Guriev porridge.
