Russia Hi, my name is Maya. I live in Russia, it's my motherland. I always wonder why Russia is thought to be a dark place, covered with snow and where tiny wooden houses come across. There is an opinion that every russian man has a bear in his house, but there isn't any reason for such a silly opinion! Russia is a fantastic country, where great people live. Do you know Pushkin, Mendeleev, Lermontov? They are all russian. Many cities in my country have an amazing architecture style and historical sights. As everyone knows, Russia is the biggest country in the world. Though it isn't so developed as the USK is, but it's developing! All in all, I love my country. And what do you think of your motherland?
