"My Country" a Russia Travel Page by maxovna

<b>My country is unique even because it is extremely <font color=green>large</font>. Plenty of time zones, nature zones and types of climate, plenty of nationalities, habits, customs, traditions, life styles, etc. Here you may find deserts and regions of permafrosts, seas and oceans, endless steppe, taiga and subtropics, mountains and forests. It is unfair to associate Russia only with the Russians, but I would like to acquaint you with some things that are <font color=green>common</font> just for the Russians - they form the majority of the population. But I can assure you that there are regions and nooks in my country where you can hardly fancy that you are in Russia - absolutely different colouring. Welcome!
