Answer 2

1. Russia is situated in both Eastern Europe and Northern Asia. Its capital is Moscow. 2. The official name of the country is the Russian Federation. 3. The head of the country is the President. As of 2021, the President of Russia is Vladimir Putin. 4. Kostroma was founded in 1152 by Yuri Dolgoruky, who was a Russian prince. It was founded as a fortress to protect the eastern borders of the Russian lands. 5. Ivan Susanin is a legendary figure in Russian history. He was a peasant who guided the Polish army into the Russian wilderness during the Time of Troubles in the early 17th century. He led them astray and sacrificed his life to save the Russian state. 6. Traditional Russian houses were built of wood, often using logs or timber for the structure. The walls were typically made of horizontally stacked logs, and the roofs were often thatched with straw or covered with wooden shingles. 7. Russian crafts often get their names from the region or city where they originated or were traditionally produced. For example, Gzhel ceramics are named after the village of Gzhel near Moscow, while Palekh lacquerware is named after the village of Palekh in the Ivanovo region. 8. Russian traditions and customs vary greatly across the country, but some common ones include celebrating New Year's Eve, Easter, and Maslenitsa (a pancake week before Lent), as well as observing various religious holidays and participating in traditional folk dances and music. 9. Russian folklore is rich with characters, such as Baba Yaga (a witch-like figure), Ded Moroz (Father Frost, the Russian equivalent of Santa Claus), and the Firebird (a magical bird with golden feathers). 10. As an AI, I do not have personal experiences, but some popular places of interest in Russia include Moscow's Red Square and the Kremlin, St. Petersburg's Hermitage Museum and Peterhof Palace, the Trans-Siberian Railway, Lake Baikal, and the historic city of Kazan.
