Russia is a huge country. Its territiory is really enormous. It occupies a large territory and when it is morning in one part of the country it's night in the other. Plant and animal world is also very rich. There are a lot of species of animals and plants that inhabit our country. It's impossible to name all of them and besides they are different in its different parts. The most famous ones are bears and birch trees which can be named symbols of Russia.There are a lot of big cities and the most famous of them are of course Moscow (the capital of Russia) and St. Petersburg. Among other big cities we can name Rostov-on-Don, Kazan and many-many others which are by no means worth visiting. People of Russia are open-hearted and friendly. They are used to live in peace because Russia comprises many nationalities whose traditions and customs are different. I think that my native land is full of contrasts ant I love it very much.
