I live in Russia. Russia is my native country. The
Russian Federation is the largest country in the world.
It occupies one seventh of the Earth's surface. It is situated both in Europe and Asia. The total area is about
17 million square kilometres. The country is washed by
12 seas and 3 oceans: the Pacific, the Arctic and the
Atlantic oceans. Our neighbours in the south are China,
Mongolia, Korea, Kazakhstan, Georgia and Azerbaijan.
In the west we have borders with Norway, Finland,
Belarus and the Ukraine. There is no country in the
world like Russia, with the steppes in the south, plains
and forests in the midland, tundra and taiga in. the north,
highlands and deserts in the east. There is a great number
of rivers in Russia. The Volga, the longest in Europe
river, flows into the Caspian Sea. The main Siberian
rivers — the Ob', the Yenisey and the Lena flow from
the south to the north. The Amur in the Far East flows
into the Pacific ocean. The deepest lake in the world is
Baikal. The water in the lake is so clear, that you can
see the stones on the bottom.
Because of the vast territory there are various types
of climate in the country. The climate varies greatly in
different regions.
Russia is very rich in oil, coal, iron ore, natural gas,
copper, nickel and other mineral resources.
Russia is a parliamentary republic with the strong
power of the President who is the head of the state. The State Duma and the Council of Federation are the legislative branch of the government.
The capital of Russia is Moscow. It is the largest political, cultural and industrial centre. It is one of the
oldest Russian cities.
The national banner of Russia is a tricolour with white,
blue and red stripes.
