my favorite country is Russia. It's not only my homeland but also the largest country in the world. Its territory is so vast that it borders with 18 countries. The capital of Russia is Moscow. It is a modern metropolis with numerous historical and architectural attractions. And my favorite city – Saint Petersburg. It is known as the Northern capital of Russia. Most in this country I like a wide range of possibilities. If you like the subtropical climate, you can visit the Black sea coast in Sochi, located in Krasnodar Krai. If you like cold and snowy weather, you can visit the famous Siberia. In Russia the winters are usually cold. The coldest months January and February. Another reason why I love this country is its rich history and culture. She went through several lengthy stages of development. ну как-то так
One of the most remarkable public events in my country is the Victory Day. It is traditionally celebrated on the 9th of May. This patriotic holiday commemorates the victory of the USSR over the Nazi Germany. Every year in honour of this day in all cities across the country lots of cheerful parades and celebrations are held. Despite the fact that the holiday is celebrated in a flamboyant way, May 9 is a sad day for the majority of our population. Many people have lost their loved ones and close relatives during this ruthless war. From one hand everyone is happy that the country wasn’t occupied by the fascist invaders, from the other hand everyone grieves over their loss. On this day we are grateful to our saviors, to those who sacrificed their lives for us. That’s why we try to celebrate this day with honours. Some part of younger generation doesn’t understand the importance of this event, which I think is disrespectful. In my opinion, the Victory Day is one of the greatest holidays during the year. Some of my ancestors also took part in the Great Patriotic War of 1945, and I’m proud of them.
