Name a Russian food item: Blini - yumm!
Say something in Russian: S rozhdyestvom Hristovym! aka Merry Christmas! :b (No, it's NOT too early lol! It's almost Decemeber :b)
Have you ever been to Russia: No.
Do you want to visit Russia: Yes I would love to! I've always wanted to see it, especially Sankt-Peterburg and Moskva.
Why or why not: The beautiful architechture is just calling my name lol! Plus, the country fascinates me. The constant cold, the beautiful landscape and architecture in some places and it's history.
Name a Russian Drink (Be Specfic): White Russian (don't know if it really is Russian?). I've never tasted it, as I don't drink much and not at all anymore, but it's got vodka in it and it's apparently very popular in my country according to the internet :P

Name a Russian Company: Siberian Airlines
How many people live in Russia: 143,500,000 according to Wikipedia.
Give a fact about the Russian Culture: The onion dome design was fully developed by the 16th century! Also found this fun fact:
"The official date for Christmas celebrations in Russia is the 6th of January. That is because the Russian Orthodox church decided to stay with the Julian calendar, while much of the rest of the world switched to the newer Gregorian."
What do you like about the Russian Culture: I love it's literature. It's gloomy and psychological, which I find really interesting, because it's so different. I love to read Tolstoj, my mom used to read the Christmas story about the old shoemaker for me when I was a little girl, it was so beautiful
Like I mentioned, the old architechture is also stunning and makes my imagination run wild lol. The language sounds amazing, the landscape, the history of the Revolution, the traditional clothes. What fascinates me is that although it's a harsh country climate-wise, which seems to be reflected in the history of the country, there's still so much beauty, some of it man-made, some of it nature-made
Oh and of course, how ould I forget Tchaikovsky, Chagall and the ballet!
(Imagine if I'd said all this in the 60s
Also I'm sorry people have been saying things about your country that aren't so nice. I don't think politics have any place in sims and it's horrible when people judge a whole culture based on singular events and/or it's governments decisions. Sims is about being positive and I wish that instead of focusing on the negative, people would once in a while think of all the positive things that this or that culture has brought to the world. I'm half German and definitely know what it feels like to have people judge your culture like that.
I can't wait to see people write down the positive things about your country
(Sorry for writing a whole novel lol, I tend to go on forever if no one stops me

Give a fact about the Russian Culture:
The most important Russian holiday is New Year's Day - January 1st. During the Soviet era, people were not allowed to celebrate Christmas, so New Year's became the most important holiday. New Year's is a public holiday while Christmas is more of a private family holiday. Happy New Year in Russian is 'Snovum Godom.'
Russian Orthodox Christmas is celebrated on January 7th. This is the equivalent day to December 25 in the old Russian calendar.Russians also celebrate 'Catholic Christmas' on December 25th and the old Russian New Year's Day of January 14th in the Julian calendar, which they used until 1918.
