"Russia - Russian Federation" Russia by eksvist

Russia is country of wonders ... You can love it or hate it ...

There are lot of things, what you can't understand and my suggestion - even don' try it.

For me, for us (estonians) it's easier to undersand Russia and russians, because many of years we've live together occupied and annexed by the Soviet Union.
In this time we've must to learn the russian language too ... I think it is useful, when you travelling to Russia.
