About Russia
Russia is a gigantic country with a lot to experience. The most interesting features of the country are the fascinating history, the unique nature, and the hospitable people.
The official language in Russia is Russian, a Slavic language with a Cyrillic script. This language is spoken not only in Russia but also by residents of the former Soviet countries around it.
Russian people are known for the hospitable culture. Guests are generally welcomed with the best food and a fair amount of vodka. Important Russian dishes are soups, which are eaten both hot and cold.
Because of the size of the country, it is difficult to put only one climate in Russia. The large, middle part of Russia has a cool continental climate, with rainfall all year round. Winters are long and very cold. Summers are short and warm. In the west of the country, this changes to a mild continental climate. Here too, precipitation can fall all year round, but the temperature differences between summer and winter are generally less extreme. In the far north of Russia, it is cold all year round. There is generally little rainfall here.
