Me neither :P

I voted for St. Petersburg as more tourist friendly, but it kind of depends on what you want to get out of your trip. Piter is more European, it has ton of museums, palaces, bridges, parks...the whole city is like one big monument. It's not as rushed as Moscow, so the people are more laid back and easy going.

Moscow is obviously the capital and a huge city. If you want to see the most Russian thing in Russia you'd probably want to visit the Red Square for obvious reasons. If you want more Communist stuff Moscow is the place to go to. It's bigger and more "high tech." It's definetly worth a visit.
