I've been to a few Russian cities. They have a permanence and grandeur lacking in most Canadian cities. I haven't been to Siberia so I wouldn't know if they follow suit or if they are just giant housing complexes built during the modernist era.

Novosibirsk and Omsk are verrry commie-block-esque (though of course containing a ton of the beautiful historic buildings chracteristic of most Russian cities). Moscow, St. Petersburg, and Yekaterinburg are the jewels. Interestingly enough, Novosibirsk is actually a decade younger than Calgary, chartered as a city the same year as Edmonton (1904).
