the world, but most of them were already destroyed either by the hands
of humans or by the cruel passing of time. And last year a group of some
Russian TV-channels, newspapers and radio stations hold an official
opinion poll and discovered what kinds of real wonders Russia has.
Anyone could participate in the poll taking votes via internet or SMS
