Yes, I thoroughly agree, an English speaking guide-or whatever language it is that u are comfortable with -- is absolutely essential otherwise it would be quite possible to spend a lot of time and money and come away VERY disappointed and having seen NOTHING--for example our guide took us to Rossoshka Reconciliation Cemetery---a truly humbling experience--about which I had previously known nothing, and also to Soldier's Field--- same as above. Lyudnikov's Island, how do you ask directions to it if you do not speak Russian ?????
