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.

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).

Page 13: RUSSIA

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.

Page 14: RUSSIA

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.

Page 15: RUSSIA

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.

Page 16: RUSSIA

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.

Page 30: RUSSIA

•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.

Page 31: RUSSIA

•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).
