Astrakhan

Astrakhan is, like Yekaterinburg , a city where you feel like the East meets the culture of the West. The seat is located right in front of the mighty Volga Delta . The largest river in Europe flows through the city center, and the city authorities have led an impressive promenade along its banks. Historically, Astrakhan was located within the Silk Road and was a good trading place with the Persians and India. It is one of the largest caviar producers in Russia, and an important transport point for crude oil into Russia.
