  Russia has a deep history that is unmatched by any other country in the world. Some years have been rougher than others, but one thing has always been for certain: Russia is a world super-power. Its history extends back to the '800s when it was under Kievan rule and through such controlling leaders as Ivan the Terrible, Lenin, and Stalin. Once a country deep in Communism, Russia has been making strides towards a free enterprise/socialist society as other leading nations in the world are in.
    If Russia's history interests you, then you might want to take a look at that page. If you are into the classic arts, then the writers and composers might satisify your quench to learn more.  Have fun, because Russia is a wonderful country.
About the Creator: My name is Rebecca, and as you have guessed, I love Russia! I have always been fascinated with foregin cultures and people. In search of my "perfect country," I have stumbled across the former Soviet Union, and the current country it now is-Russia. My newfound love of this place has shaped my career goals and aspirations in life. I hope to attend a Russian University or an American one on a scholarship, which I would go study abroad in Russia from.  I would major in political science, journalism, and learn the great Russian language. Maybe I'll become an ambassador or something like that. I have always enjoyed writing, but I want to get out and experience the world. My favorite sport is ice hockey, which I also play. It is fast-paced and requires a lot of skill. I have discovered many Russian hockey players by seeing my local NHL team-the Carolina Hurricanes. I have met Danny Markov, Igor Knyazev, Oleg Kvasha, Alexei Yashin, Sergei Brylin and I have seen the following players play live: Nikolai Khabibulin, Alexander Svitov, Alexei Morozov,  Dmitry Afanasenkov, Sergei Zubov, Nikita Alexeev, and many others. At Stars on Ice, I witnessed Alexei Yagudin, Elena Berezhnaya, and her partner Anton, all three of them gold medalists. (Alexei acknowledged my sign for him at the end of the program, pointed at me, and smiled at me and my sign. What a great birthday present!)  If you don't like Russia, I hope you will be convinced it's a wonderful place after you check out my site. Thanks for looking!!!
Russia Rocks!!!
