RUSSIA
MOSCOW The capital of Russia is…
Russia is the largest country the world. Located in the northern and middle latitudes a of the Northern Hemisphere, most of
Russia is much closer to the North Pole than to the equator.
The country's 17.1 million square kilometers include one-eighth of the Earth's inhabited land area.
Its European portion, which occupies a substantial part of continental Europe, is home to most of Russia's industrial and agricultural activity. It was here, roughly between the Dnieper River and the Ural Mountains, that the Russian Empire took shape. It is also located on the northernmost tip of Asia.
Russia has boundaries with 14 countries: Norway, Finland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland (via the Kaliningrad Oblast), Belarus, Ukraine, Georgia, Abkhazia, South Ossetia, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Mongolia, the People's Republic of China and North Korea.
The economy of Russia
is the eleventh largest economy in the world by nominal
value and the sixth largest by purchasing power parity (PPP).
Russia is the ninth most populous nation
with 143 million people.
It extends across the whole of northern Asia and 40% of Europe, spanning nine time zones and incorporating a wide range of environments and landforms.Russia has the world's largest reserves of mineral and energy resources.It has the world's largest forest reserves and its lakes contain approximately one-quarter of the world's fresh water.
The ruble or rouble : RUB )( ISO 4217 Code
is the currency of the Russian Federation and the two partially recognized republics of Abkhazia and South Ossetia.
The ruble is subdivided into 100 kopeksCurrently there is no official symbol for the ruble, though the abbreviation
руб. is in wide use. Various symbols have been put forward as possibilities, including: "РР" (Cyrillic for
"RR"), an "R" with two horizontal strokes across the top (similar to the Philippine peso sign),₱, a "Р" with one horizontal strike.

Education in Russia is provided predominantly by the state and is regulated by the federal Ministry of Education and Science.
Before 1990 the course of school training in Soviet Union was 10-years, but at the end of 1990 the 11-year course has been officially entered.
Education in state-owned secondary schools is free; first tertiary (university level) education is free with reservations: a substantial share of students is enrolled for full pay. Male and female students have nearly equal shares in all stages of education,except tertiary education where women lead with 57%.
The literacy rate in Russia, according to the 2002 census, is 99.4% (99.7% men, 99.2% women). 16.0% of population over 15 years of age (17.6 million) have tertiary (undergraduate level or higher) education; 47.7% have completed secondary education (10 or 11 years); 26.5% have completed middle school (8 or 9 years) and 8.1% have elementary education. Highest rates of tertiary education, 24.7% are recorded among women aged 35–39 years (compared to 19.5% for men of the same age bracket).
Although the high price and scarcity of passenger automobiles required Soviet citizens to rely on public transportation, Soviet policy makers gave low priority to civilian transportation. Only
6 Russian cities have underground systems—Moscow, St. Petersburg, Yekaterinburg, Nizhniy Novgorod, Novosibirsk,
and Samara. The extensive and decorative Moscow subway
system, built in the 1930s as a showpiece of Stalinist engineering, remains the most reliable and
inexpensive means of transportation in the nation's capital.
Elsewhere, buses are the main form of public transportation. In cities, tramways supplement bus service, accounting for one-third of the passenger-kilometers that buses travel.
Russia has a continental climate which is prevalent in European and Asian Russia
except for the tundra and the extreme southeast.
Continental climate is a climate that is characterized by important annual variation in
temperature due to the lack of significant bodies of water nearby.
Often winter temperature is cold enough to support a fixed period of snow each year, and relatively
moderate precipitation occurring mostly in summer.
Russia is mainly a northern country with long-lasting cold winter.
The food should give us much energy and warmth to survive during the winter time.
So, the essential components of Russian cuisine are the ones, which provide more carbohydrates and fat rather than
proteins. Fresh fruits and vegetables are rarely used in food. So, the top
five components of a Russian meal are potatoes, bread, eggs, meat (especially beef) and butter. Other popular foods include cabbage, milk, sour cream,
curds, mushrooms, lard, cucumbers, tomatoes, apples, berries, honey, sugar, salt, garlic, and onions.
Soups have always played an important role in the Russian meal.
Russian soups can be divided into at least seven large groups:
• Chilled soups based on kvass, such as tyurya, okroshka, and botvinya.
• Light soups and stews based on water and vegetables.• Noodle soups with meat, mushrooms, and milk.
• Soups based on cabbage, most prominently shchi.• Thick soups based on meat broth, with a salty-sour base like
rassolnik and solyanka.• Fish soups such as ukha.
• Grain- and vegetable-based soups.

Many traditional drinks are indigenous to Russia and are not present in other
national cuisines. The most notable of these are vodka, sbiten', kvass, medovukha and
mors. Many of them are no longer common
and have been replaced by drinks originating in Europe.
•Shoes are always removed upon entering a private home (and are sometimes removed upon entering Russian museums). Slippers may be given to guests to wear.
•People should never show the soles of their shoes to Russians; this is considered grave disrespect. Tourists should always sit so the soles of their shoes face the floor.
•A small edible gift (wine, pastries, fruit) should always be given to hosts when people are invited over for dinner.•When Russian people give flowers, they never give them in even numbers (even-numbered bunches of flowers are reserved for funerals).
•Visitors to Russia should try to refrain from smiling too much to avoid attracting attention.
•Americans in particular should speak a little lower than they would in their home country; Russians often remark that their American friends seem to be shouting when they speak.
•Russians follow European table manners--fork in left hand, knife in right hand.
•Single women should avoid sitting at the corner of a table; this is considered bad luck.
•During train travel, it is considered polite for travelers to share all they have with the people in the carriage: food, drink and cigarettes.
•At outdoor markets, there is quite a bit of jostling; this is normal.
•When standing in line, tourists should get up quite close to the person in front of them. Failure to do so will lead locals to believe that the tourist is not in line at all.
•A little bit of knowledge of the Russian language will go a long way. At the very least, tourists should learn to say "Please" (Pazhalsta) and "Thank You" (Spasiba).
