Символы моей страны
Russia is the biggest country in the world. It’s situated in Europe and Asia
It stretches from the Baltic sea in the west to the Pacific ocean in the east.
Moscow is the capital
It is a political, commercial and cultural center.
The Kremlin, one of the country’s symbols, is the heart of Moscow
But Matryoshka dolls are the most famous and popular

Russian field
It can’t be compared to anything
My Motherland is here
It has no borders It is extensive
Не сравнятся с тобой ни леса, ни моря. Ты со мной, моё поле,
Студит ветер висок.
Здесь Отчизна моя, и скажу, не тая: — Здравствуй, русское поле,
Я твой тонкий колосок.

I love you, Russia
… Люблю твои избушки и цветы,
И небеса, горящие от зноя,
И шепот ив у омутной воды,
Люблю навек, до вечного покоя…
Люблю твою, Россия, старину…
Россия, Русь! Храни себя. Храни!..
