The most popular and best time to go to Russia is during the summer months of June, July and August, where the days are balmy and long. That being said, it can easily be argued that there isn't a bad time to go to Russia, as all the seasons are equally wonderful in their own ways. The snow begins to melt in April and the cool, sunny spring days (right through til early June) are ideal for exploring the cities of St Petersburg and Moscow. Easter is hugely important to Russians making this a very interesting time to visit too. The summer months are popular for the Trans-Siberian Railway, but again this runs year round (even through the frozen months) and you will perhaps find the quieter periods more enjoyable. Autumn (September - October) is a beautiful golden time to visit, and many say that seeing Russia sparkling under blankets of snow over the winter (November - February) is well-worth the plummeting temperatures. Christmas in Russia is on the 7th January, so the sparkling markets are still open early in the year and this is a lovely, quiet time to explore the cities.
