Russia

Russia is a huge country that is double the size of Australia. The vast country is located in part on the European continent and on the Asian continent. Almost half of the country is covered in forests, only 14% are suitable for agricultural land due to the harsh climate. The climate ranges from steppe in the South to subarctic in Siberia and tundra in the polar North.

The best Russia Attractions

Moscow: Visit the Red Square, wander through the Kremlin fortress and admire the colourful St Basil's Cathedral. St Petersburg: This port city on the Baltic Sea is the second largest city in the country. It is home to the fabulous Hermitage museum and the Winterpalace, previously home of the Russian tzars and emperors.Experience the 'White Nights' which are for about two weeks from mid of June. Then the sun will not set in St Petersburg and there will be daylight for 24 hours!

Russian Food

The Russian main dishes contain: pork and beef, lamb, chicken, fish, potatoes and root vegetables as well as porridge and bread. Sour cream accompanies many dishes. Especially vegetable soups and stews play an important role in Russian cuisine. Russian food is full of flavour and the Russian cuisine is as diverse as the regions in the huge country.

Russian People

Most of the Russian population lives in the westernmost parts of the country. Here are the majority of the largest Russian cities such as Moscow, St Petersburg, Yekaterinburg, Samara and Omsk. Three out of four people in Russia live in urban centres.

Most of all I like adventure novels. My favourite book is “The Mysterious Island” by Jules Verne. You can find much necessary, useful and valuable information in the book. This novel proved us that human can survive in any conditions. Each character is interesting. Cyrus Smith was well-informed. His mind, purposefulness and patience helped colonists to survive. Thank to their persistence they achieved prosperity on a desert island. They could grow rich harvest of wheat from the only seed, build a mill, increase poultry, handle a monkey and build a boat. After the example of Ayrton we see that any criminal can reform. In the novel Jules Verne wanted to prove that people are strong if they are united.

Больше всего мне нравятся приключенческие романы. Самая моя любима книга, это роман Жюль Верна «Таинственный остров». В книге можно найти много нужной, ценной и полезной информации. В романе доказано, что человек может выжить в любых условиях. Каждый герой по- своему интересный персонаж. Сайрес Смит обладал большими знаниями. Его ум, целенаправленность и терпение выжить колонистам. Своим упорством они добились процветания на необитаемом острове. Ведь они смогли вырастить огромный урожай пшеницы из одного зёрнышка, построить мельницу, развести домашнюю птицу, приручить обезьяну и построить бот. На примере Айртона показано, что любой преступник может исправиться. В своём романе Жюль Верн хотел доказать, что люди сильны, если они действуют вместе.
