Russia ratified the UNESCO World Heritage Convention on 12 October 1988. Its World Heritage Sites include a balanced mix of cultural and natural properties. Cultural nominations often highlight Orthodox churches, historic city centers, and architectural ensembles reflecting Russian and Eurasian heritage. Natural sites focus on vast, ecologically significant areas such as Lake Baikal, the Kamchatka volcanoes, and the Virgin Komi Forests. Common themes include religious architecture, natural diversity, and expansive landscapes of cultural and environmental importance.
