                           The Russian Federation.
    The Russian Federation is the largest country in the world. It occupies
about one-seventh of the earth’s  surface.  It’s  total  area  is  about  17
million square kilometers. The country is washed by 12 seas of  3  oceans  :
the Pacific, the Atlantic, the Arctic. Russia  borders  with  many  country.
They are : Korea, China, Mongolia, Kazakhstan, Georgia, Azerbaijan,  Norway,
Finland, the Baltic states, Belorussia and the Ukraine. It also  has  a  sea
border with the USA. The population of the Russian Federation is nearly  250
million people. The capital of the  country  is  Moscow.  It’s  its  largest
political, scientific, cultural and economical center. Russia is  very  rich
in mineral resources. There is gold, platinum, diamonds,  coal,  peat,  oil,
gas and wood. There are over two million  rivers  in  Russia.  The  Europe’s
biggest river , the Volga , flows into the Caspian sea. Others  main  rivers
are : the Ob, the Yenisei, the Lena and the Amur. Russia  is  also  rich  in
beautiful lakes. The world biggest lake - the  Caspian  sea  and  the  world
deepest lake - Lake Baikal are in it. Russia  has  one-six  of  the  world’s
forests. They are concentrated in the European  north  of  the  country,  in
Siberia and in Far East. On the vast territory  of  the  country  there  are
different types of climate, from arctic in the north to subtropical  in  the
south. In the middle of the country the climate is continental.  Russia  has
four beautiful seasons : winter , spring , summer and autumn. They are  very
different. The Russian Federation is a parliamentary republic. The  Head  of
State is the President. He is  elected  for  4  years  and  his  powers  are
limited by the Duma. At present Russia has  some  political  and  economical
problems. (The price are rising, the rate of inflation is very high,  people
are losing their jobs and many factories are stopped).  But I  believe  that
in the future the young generation of  your  country  will  sold  all  these
problems and they shall make “Great” Russia as strong  and  powerful  as  it
used to be.
