Hi,

Make sure you go to Gorky Park in Moscow, it really is fascinating. Also the Metro is stunning, sounds crazy but it really is.

Also, there is basically nothing to do at Irkutsk apart from go to Lake Baikal.

We made a few videos of our time there that might be useful for you for some ideas;

Lake Baikal: you can take dog sledding, ice driving, hovercraft cross-Baikal trip or backcountry skiing. Also, 3-days ice trek is possible but in November might be physically difficult.
Buryatia and Ulan-Ude: Ivolginskiy Datzan is must visit. Also, Tunka Valley w/hot springs is worth visit.

Hi!
I would highly recommend to visit Central Museum of the Great Patriotic War in Moscow in the park Poklonnaya gora, there is also an aircraft museum nearby. This place is really worth visiting.
And just by walking along the Moscow river you can find a bunch of interesting places (:
Best regards, Ignemar
