What do you know about Russia and its residents? Do you really suppose, that Russia is very cold and the only animal here is white bear? If so, i can tell you that you are a victim of banal stereotypes.

I don't really know what Russia is like, as I have never been there, but it looks quite beautiful to me. My understanding is that it's cold in winter, but hot in summer, almost to extreme. I don't believe that the white bear is the only animal there, as I'm sure there are brown and black bears, also. Brightest Blessings.

Yes, I'd love to know more. I like travelling but apart from the U.S.A., France and Germany, I haven't been far abroad. Do add a piece in here, or start a new discussion, so that I can learn, please. :-)

I met some Russians when they were in my city for the Olympics. At first they keep pretty much to themselves, but once they get to know you they are extremely friendly people.. I made some very good Russian friends and think they are nice people.

All I know about Russia is that they like to run their words together (thanks russian class!) and that they are desperate for people to have children since their population is getting so low.
