Yekaterinburg is the third largest city. It was previously known as Sverdlovsk, but is relatively unknown in the west because we couldn't visit until 1991 due to the defense industry there.
Lots of great cities in Russia. Stalingrad is known for the war. Vladivostock for its proximity to Alaska. Kazan is a Great place to visit – great Kreml and built up for western tourism. Nishny Novgorod is industrial. Chelyabinsk is known to the US military because it was #1 target for our nuclear bombs (defense industry). Borodino was a famous Napoleonic battlesite.

This non-Russian resident always thinks of Vladivostok.
And Irkutsk, probably because I played a lot of Risk when I was a kid and that was the most difficult place name to for us to pronounce (Risk is a children's board game with a map of the world).
And I think of Murmansk, because it is so far north and I can't imagine being a sailor in such a cold place.
But I always think of Vladivostok first. It is at the end of Asia, almost Japan, and symbolises just how huge Russia is … from European St Petersburg and Moscow ALL THE WAY to Vladivostok, half a globe away.

Kazan / Tatarstan – probably the more coherent city where people walk on their feet, not on their head, and greet you in the streets when they acknowledege you as western – very different – Go to Kazan capital of the clever tatars !!!! and spend you rubbles there !
