    I go back to Korea again soon to send my belongings to Russia and to handle stuff. Next time I will come back to Russia, 12 days from now, I will write here about Russian life.

    A kind of amusing yet sadly accurate summary of tube network comparisons, and at the same time a completely cool idea

    Of course there will be, and is, poverty in parts of Russia all of which is being addressed as best it can be - she isn't perfect. But, look just how healthy and alive and vibrant the people are here caught candidly on camera-phone. And I say this with no apology: how stunning some of these young women look too

    I'd be interested to see which of America's many is designated its 'second' city (which is it out of interest: NYC?) and how it may compare to this.

    That is just SO SO gorgeous. (You can see a few brief images of the junior choir at 2:43 and again at 3:07.)

    The Russians have more pride in their country, culture and history than any other nation on earth, and this is exactly why they'll never permit their destruction.

    June 12 marks Russia Day, one of the country’s most important national holidays.

    The history of Russia Day dates back to June 12, 1990, when the people's deputies of the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic (RSFSR) signed a declaration announcing the sovereignty of the Russian Federation.

    The holiday has now become a symbol of national unity of the Russian people and their common responsibility for the future of their country

    These are the translated lyrics of the Russian national anthem:

    Russia – our sacred state,
    Russia – our beloved country.
    A mighty will, a great glory –
    Yours forever for all time!

    Chorus:
    Be glorious, our free Fatherland,
    The age-old union of fraternal peoples,
    Wisdom given by our forebears!
    Be glorious, our country! We are proud of you!

    From the southern seas to the polar lands
    Spread our forests and fields.
    You are unique in the world! You are one of a kind –
    Native land protected by God!

    Chorus:
    Be glorious, our free Fatherland,
    The age-old union of fraternal peoples,
    Wisdom given by our forebears!
    Be glorious, our country! We are proud of you!

    Wide spaces for dreams and for life
    Are opened for us by the coming years.
    Our loyalty to the Fatherland gives us strength.
    It was so, it is so, and it will always be so!

    Chorus:
    Be glorious, our free Fatherland,
    The age-old union of fraternal peoples,
    Wisdom given by our forebears!
    Be glorious, our country! We are proud of you!

    An excellent short video. All western visitors to Russia (and many others who have moved there) say exactly the same things, over and over again.

    A tiny personal story that supports some of what Greg Reese reports, though in a different era and in a different context. My first visit to Russia was back in 1988, when I was traveling to India but en route was delayed in Moscow for 36 hours. I stayed in a comfortable airport hotel, but had access for hours on end to take advantage of free Intourist bus tours of Moscow.

    I was fascinated, and our tour guide was most professional and spoke perfect English. This was 3 years before the fall of the Soviet Union, and I bombarded the poor woman with endless questions about Soviet life and culture.

    I wasn't allowed to get out at any point, as I was in transit and didn't have a visa. But even through the windows of the bus I could feel the quiet stoic pride and tremendous resilience of the Soviet people. Not a joke: I picked it up clearly and palpably from all around.

    One of the things that impacted me, and which I remember to this day, was our guide telling me that anyone at all could go to see the Bolshoi Ballet after a day's work even as a shop assistant or on a building site, for no more than the price of a good cup of coffee — and thousands of people from every class of society did exactly that all the time.

    And when they were there watching the ballet, any class divisions all dissolved completely and the audience was just all Russian people appreciating their shared culture together. I was impressed.
