Uzbekistan Uzbekistan, in the ancient cradle between the Amu-Darya and Syr-Darya rivers, is the most historically fascinating of the Central Asian republics. Within it are some of the oldest towns in the world, some of the Silk Road's main centers and most of Central Asia's architectural splendors. Uzbekistan occupies the heartland of Central Asia, sharing a border with all the other `Stans', which is one of the reasons why it considers itself the most important of the former Soviet Central Asian republics, and why it is increasingly fulfilling the role of regional gendarme. Located in the heart of Central Asia, Uzbekistan is the land where the great civilizations of the past met and got down to business. Today, Uzbekistan is trying to attract more visitors to marvel at its mountain vistas, bustling markets, intriguing customs, and ancient monuments. more... Back to top / Back to map

Russia Once the preeminent republic of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR), Russia has been an independent country since the dissolution of the union in December 1991. With an area of 6,592,800 square miles, Russia is the world's largest country, covering almost twice the territory of either the United States or China. The great majority of the people are Russians, but there also are some 70 smaller national groups living within its borders. The capital of the Russian Federation is Moscow, which was also the capital of the R.S.F.S.R. and of the Soviet Union. Historically, the territory of European Russia was the core of the expanding Russian State and suffered onslaughts ranging from that of the Mongol hordes in the 13th century to the Nazi invasion of World War II. This historical heritage, together with its vast area and natural wealth, which permitted the development of a large-scale industrial economy, gave Russia a unique place of leadership among the former Soviet republics.

Their capital, Baku, located along the old Silk Route from China to Europe, prospered as early as the 9th century. Trade eventually gave way to oil, and by the early 1900s, Azerbaijan was pumping half the world's oil supply.
