Russia is the world biggest country with its vast territory that occupies the east of Europe and north of Asia 11.46% of land area. Russia is washed by the water of twelve seas and three oceans with thousands of rivers, Neighboring 18 countries (Norway, Finland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Belarus, Ukraine, Georgia, Abkhazia, South Ossetia, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, China, Mongolia, North Korea, Japan and the U.S.) and having world’s longest land border of about 60,000 km (over 37,000 miles). 
Culture 
Let’s have a brief look on Russian people life style, culture and traditions…. Russia is quite a rough country, and Russians usually do not hesitate to say what they think in a way that doesn't leave room for any misunderstandings. Russians are very straightforward. When they meet or phone each other, they do not spend time on questions like "How are you?" and go straight to the point. They are not rude; it's just a way of doing things. 
Russian family: 
Russian families don't differ drastically from families around the world. Both the mother and father typically work, and children go to school (where they typically learn English and other languages) to prepare them for university. The babushka, the Russian grandmother, fills the role of wise woman, curator of memories and traditions, and baker of favorite comfort foods. 
Russian Women 
Russians have much higher potential limits of patience and acceptance in comparison with Americans. In the same situation, which is unacceptable for an American, they will act as if nothing happens. That's why Russian women often considered good wives. They usually do not let situation to come to the point of no return. It does not mean that they give up their goals easily, but they try to reach them in a different, less complicated or roundabout way. They do not intend to prove their point, and the result is of more importance than the rightness. 
Religion 
Though those who live in Russia are called “Russians,” about 160 various ethnic groups can be found in Russia. Russian is the official language, though over 100 languages are spoken by its peoples. The majority of Russians identify with the Eastern Orthodox (Christian) religion, but Judaism, Islam, and Buddhism are also practiced in Russia. And it is not surprising to know that Islam is spreading quite fast in Russia. 16% of Russians Are Muslims and are supposed to increase day by day. 
Reading in Russia 
Reading is extremely popular, as it was during the Soviet period. Books are cheap, and one can afford to buy 5-10 books a month without serious damage to a family budget. Russia has an extremely high literacy rate. More than 99 percent of the population over age 15 is literate. Having a university or college degree is common, and Russia has the highest educational level in the world. Having a Ph.D. is also not a big deal, and doesn't give you a big advantage.
Russia’s Special 
There are many things specially belong and originating from Russia. Have a look at few of them. 
Dacha 
A country house or cottage in Russia, typically used as a second or holiday home. Russian families sometimes keep a dacha, or summer cottage, where they escape for the weekends or the summer and where they tend vegetable gardens and fruit trees. 
Matreshka 
The traditional symbol of Russian culture is Matreshka (also spelled Matryoshka), which is a set of nesting dolls. Most of them are exclusive author's works made by famous Russian artists. Every doll (except the last one, the smallest) consists of two parts. The smaller doll inserts into the bigger one. Thus dolls (sometimes up to 30) can be combined inside the biggest doll - Matreshka. Production of a 30-piece Matreshka demands a huge amount of time and effort. The size of the biggest doll is about 15 inches whereas the smallest – 0.1 inches. This is very high detailed unique work. 
Samovar 
(Tea-urn) is a purely Russian invention. Its origin is connected with tea. Tea was delivered to Russia from the territory of West Mongolia in the 17-th century and was used as medicine among the nobility. The samovars became the symbol of Russian hospitality and family comfort as well as the sign of prosperity. 
Valenki 
100% sheep's wool is used to make seamless, warm and healthy felt boots according to unique Russian technology called “Valenki” 
Civil engineering in Russia 
There are lots of historic buildings in Russia showing great works of Civil Engineers. World largest country has a lot of examples of excellence in Civil Engineering work. Keeping shortage of time i9n mind we will show you only two of such examples. 
Saint Basil’s cathedral 
Look at this wonder of civil Engineering…. How beautiful it is...It is the Russia’s most famous attraction. Located on Moscow’s Red Square, the church was built on the instructions of the Tsar Ivan the Terrible, from 1555 to 1561, celebrating his victory over the Kazan and Astrakhans. Basil's marks the geometric center of Moscow. It has been the hub of the city's growth since the 14th century and was the city's tallest building until the completion of the Ivan the Great Bell Tower in 1600. 
Petehof 
No visit to St. Petersburg would be complete without a visit to the beautiful palace of Peterhof (also called Peterhof, Petrodvorets and Peter's Palace). The world-famous palace, fountain and park ensemble of Peterhof is an outstanding landmark of Russian artistic culture of the 18-19th centuries. A series of
palaces and gardens located in Saint Petersburg, laid out on the orders of Peter the Great. These Palaces and gardens are sometimes referred as the "Russian Versailles". 
Some interesting facts of Russia 
There’s a theater in Russia where all the actors are cats! 
Long Distances 
In the biggest country in the world you can drive for 4 hours without finding a city or other signs of civilization. Train trip from east to west part of the country will take you 7 days! 
Some other interesting facts are here. 
 Russia occupies 11 time zones when sun rises in the east; it is late night in the western regions! 
 Siberia is the coldest inhabitant place in the world having temperature of -70 degree! 
 First artificial satellite of Earth was Russian. Sputnik was launched on October 4, 1957 – the beginning of the Space Age. 
 The first scientist to arrange elements in periodic form was again a Russian, the Dmitri Mendeleev! 
 The world's biggest eye on the sky, the big azimuth telescope is in Russia! 
 Russians don't smile as often as foreigners do…  
 And giving a bunch of even numbers to a lady is considered as bad luck! 
Thank you 
The Moscow Cat Theater is a traveling circus that showcases cats. Creative director Vladimir and his daughter, Maria, train the cats from birth. They have one cat that continually has litters, yielding them an abundant amount of cats to work with. The circus travels around Russia showcasing cats walking on tightropes, walking across the stage balancing on balls, and walking upside down.
