Russian Culture

"Russian Culture" When we heard the word Russian culture, many Americans often had negative ideas like the Cold War, Government's Tekken, Red Panic. These ideas are unfair for the long history of people in Russia and those dating back to INSERT DATE.

Russian people have a long and rich heritage, believe deeply in Christian faith, be proud of their hospitality, value the community, their families, and Russian fellows.

I grew up in Russia and studied at a Russian school.

My first contact with Russian culture actually started with my trip in Ukraine and continued my trip in Baltic countries (Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia). Cheburashka's toys, Russian pop song cars and clubs, Russian cuisine. The reason why Russian culture is not understood globally is the language barrier.
