I didn't know anything about Russian art; this gallery was a great introduction. I saw unusual paintings, such as the one of Ivan the Great looking with horror upon his son, the crown prince, who he's just murdered.
The Tretyakov Gallery is well organized and you could spend a full day there. There is a very large Icon section as well as some other fine works from Russian artists. Only a few exibits have English labels, so itg was definitely worth getting the Audio guide - I would have been lost wihout it.
