Russia is my homeland. It is the largest country in the world, that is situated on two continents: Europe and Asia.The population of Russia is about 145 million people of 170 different nationalities. It is washed by twelve seas and three oceans, and has eleven time zones. So when the sun rises in the east of the country, everyone in the west is still asleep.
Russia is the land of many wonders: the thickest forests, called taiga, in Siberia; hot thermal springs in Kamchatka; polar nights in Murmansk and white nights in Saint-Petersburg. My country also has a large number of rivers and lakes, including the longest river in Europe, the Volga; and the Baikal - the clearest and deepest lake in the world.
The official name of my country is the Russian Federation. The national flag of Russia has white, blue and red horizontal stripes. Moscow, as the capital, is probably the most popular city of Russia with its picturesque scenery of the Kremlin and the Saint Basil's Cathedral on Red Square. One can often see the image of these tourists attractions printed on postcards.
But the greatest thing about my country in my opinion is the people. Sometimes they appear to be a little gloomy from the outside, but they are genuinely kind and warm-hearted.
A lot of outstanding scientists, artists, musicians, writers etc. consider Russia to be their homeland. And as a citizen myself I am very proud to live in and be a part of this beautiful country.
