Check out this jaw-dropping drone video of holiday-festooned Moscow, Russia by new AirVuz contributor pushkinflyteam.  The video opens with an epic shot of the Kremlin and the adjacent St. Basil's Cathedral, the aesthetic heart of Europe's largest city.  The focus of much of the rest of the video is in and around Red Square, the city's largest public gathering place.  Located just north of the Kremlin, the square takes on an almost other-worldly look during the Christmas season, replete with a giant ice-skating rink.  

The Central Asian republics of Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan are home to some of the finest natural scenery in the world.  You can see for yourself in this stunning 4k drone video featuring the diverse landscapes of the two countries.  Highlights include the Skazka ("Fairy Tale") Canyon in northern Kyrgyzstan; the mighty Charyn Canyon in southeastern Kazakhstan; and the nearby Lake Kaindy, which is distinguished by the partially submerged tree trunks still standing from before the lake was created by an earthquake in 1911.
