The Russian Federation

The Russian Federation is the largest country in the world. It occupies about one-seventh of the earth’s surface. It covers the eastern part of Europe and the northern part of Asia. Its total area is about 17 million square kilometres.

The country is washed by 12 seas of 3 oceans: the Pacific, the Arctic and the Atlantic. In the south Russia borders on China, Mongolia, Korea, Kazakhstan, Georgia and Azerbaijan. In the west it borders on Norway, Finland, the Baltic States, Byelorussia and Ukraine. It also has a sea-border with the USA.

There is hardly a country in the world where such a variety of scenery and vegetation can be found. We have steppes in the south, plains and forests in the midland, tundra and taiga in the north, highlands and deserts in the east.

There are two great plains in Russia: the Great Russian Plain and the West Siberian Lowland. There are several mountain chains on the territory of the country: the Urals, the Caucasus, the Altai and others. The largest mountain chain, the Urals, separates Europe from Asia.

There are over two million rivers in Russia. Europe’s biggest river, the Volga, flows into the Caspian Sea. The main Siberian rivers — the Ob, the Yenisei and the Lena — flow from the south to the north. The Amur in the Far East flows into Pacific Ocean.

Russia is rich in beautiful lakes. The world’s deepest lake (1600 meters) is Lake Baikal. It is much smaller than the Baltic Sea, but there is much more water in it than in the Baltic Sea. The water in the lake is so clear that if you look down you can count the stones on the bottom.

Russia has one-sixth of the world’s forests. They are concentrated in the European north of the country, in Siberia and in the Far East.
On the vast territory of the country there are various types of climate, from arctic in the north to subtropical in the south. In the middle of the country the climate is temperate and continental.

Russia is very rich in oil, coal, iron ore, natural gas, copper, nickel and other mineral resources.

Russia is a parliamentary republic. The Head of the State is the President. The legislative powers are exercised by the Duma.

The capital of Russia is Moscow. It is its largest political, scientific, cultural and industrial centre. It is one of the oldest Russian cities.

At present, the political and economic situation in the country is rather complicated. There are a lot of problems in the national economy of the Russian Federation.

But in spite of the problems Russia is facing at present, there are a lot of opportunities for this country to become one of the leading countries in the world.


Российская Федерация

Российская Федерация — самая большая страна в мире. Она занимает приблизительно одну седьмую часть поверхности земли. Она охватывает восточную часть Европы и северную часть Азии. Ее общая территория — приблизительно 17 миллионов квадратных километров.

Страна омывается 12 морями 3-х океанов: Тихого океана, Арктики и Атлантического океана на юге. Россия граничит с Китаем, Монголией, Кореей, Казахстаном, Грузией и Азербайджаном. На западе — с Норвегией, Финляндией, Балтийскими государствами, Белоруссией и Украиной. У нее также есть морская граница с США.

Едва ли найдется страна в мире, где есть такое разнообразие пейзажа и растительности. У нас есть степи на юге, равнины и леса в центре страны, тундра и тайга на севере, горная местность и пустыни на востоке.

В России есть две Великие равнины: Большая российская равнина и Западно-сибирская низменность. На территории страны есть несколько горных цепей: Урал, Кавказ, Алтай и другие. Наибольшая горная цепь, Урал, отделяет Европу от Азии.

В России есть более чем два миллиона рек. Самая большая река Европы, Волга, впадает в Каспийское море. Главные сибирские реки — Обь, Енисей и Лена — текут с юга на север. Амур на Дальнем Востоке впадает в Тихий океан.

Россия богата красивыми озерами. Самым глубоким в мире (1600 метров) является озеро Байкал. Оно намного меньше, чем Балтийское море, но в нем намного больше воды, чем в Балтийском море. Вода в озере настолько прозрачна, что, если посмотреть вниз, можно посчитать камни на дне.

На долю России приходится одна шестая часть лесов в мире. Они сконцентрированы на европейском севере страны, в Сибири и на Дальнем Востоке.
На обширной территории страны разнообразный климат — от арктического на севере до субтропического на юге. В центре страны климат является умеренно-континентальный.

Россия очень богата нефтью, углем, железной рудой, природным газом, медью, никелем и другими полезными ископаемыми.

Россия — парламентская республика. Глава государства — президент. Законодательные полномочия осуществляются Думой.

Столица России — Москва. Это ее наибольший политический, научный, культурный и индустриальный центр. Это один из самых старых российских городов.

В настоящее время политическая и экономическая ситуация в стране очень сложна. В народном хозяйстве Российской Федерации существует много проблем.

Но несмотря на проблемы, с которыми сталкивается Россия в настоящее время, у этой страны есть все шансы стать одной из ведущих стран в мире.

Tourism provides one of the possibilities to know more about other countries. Now people travel much more than they ever used to. Many people travel in their own country and millions of them travel abroad.

Russia, the largest country in the world, has always attracted visitors from neighbouring and distant countries. Russia is proud of its architecture, painting, and music. A lot of tourists come to our country to see its beauty and to admire its cultural achievements. As a rule they want to visit Moscow, St. Petersburg and the towns of the "Golden Ring".

Russia is located in the eastern part of Europe and in the northern part of Asia. It boarders on thirteen countries. Russia is washed by twelve seas and three oceans. Russia is connected with the Atlantic Ocean through the Baltic Sea in the west and the Black Sea in the south. The Arctic Ocean and its seas including the White, Barents, Kara, Laptev, East-Siberian Seas wash Russia in the north. The Pacific Ocean and its seas the Bering, Okhotsk, and Japanese Seas are in the east of Russia.

The Russian Plain, the Ural Mountains, the West Siberian Plain, the Central Siberian Plateau, and the Far East are the main areas of Russia The Russian Plain occupies the European part of Russia. The Ural Mountains separate Europe from Asia. The West Siberian Plain links with the Central Siberian Plateau. The Far East of Russia comprises the Kamchatka and Chukchi peninsulas and the Kuril and Sakhalin islands.

Russia"s greatest rivers are the Don and Volga in its European part, and the Ob and Yenisey in West Siberia. The Ob is the longest river in Russia, but the Volga is the most important one. Many Russian towns are located along the Volga river.

Russia is densely populated, but its population is unequally distributed. People prefer to live in the European part of the country. Siberia is thinly inhabited. There are more than sixty nationalities and ethnic groups in Russia. Russia is an urban country - the majority of the Russian citizens live in cities. As Russia occupies vast territories there are various climatic zones in the country. Continental climate, with cold winters and warm summers prevails on the territory of Russia.

Russia is rich in mineral deposits such as coal, oil, and natural gas, as well as of iron ore, copper, zinc, lead, nickel, aluminium, and tin. Natural resources determine the development of the Russian economy. Russia"s heavy industries produce much of the nation"s steel and most of its heavy machinery.

The Russian Federation was founded in 1991. The Constitution was adopted in 1993. Russia is a Presidential Republic. It is headed by the President. The President is commander-in-chief of the armed forces, he makes treaties, enforces laws, appoints the Prime Minister, cabinet members, and key judges.

The Russian government consists of three branches: the legislative, the executive and the judicial. The power is distributed in such a way that each branch checks and balances the others. The legislative power is vested in the Federal Assembly. It consists of the Federation Council (upper house) and the State Duma (lower house). The members of the State Duma are elected by popular vote for a four-year period. The Federation Council is not elected. It is formed of the heads of the regions. Each Chamber is headed by the Chairman. Legislature is initiated in the State Duma. But to become a law a bill must be approved by the Lower and Upper Houses and signed by the President. The executive power belongs to the Government. The judicial branch is represented by the Constitutional Court, the Supreme Court, and regional courts.

The national flag of the Russian Federation is three coloured: white, blue and red. The symbol of the country is a two-headed eagle. Russia"s hymn was created by Alexandrov and Mikhalkov.

According to the Chronicle the history of Early Russia began in the year 862. That year Rurik became the first Russian prince having merged Novgorod and Kiev. Rurik"s successor Prince Oleg did his best to strengthen and expand the nascent state. In 988 Prince Vladimir, the Red Sun, baptised Russia. After the adoption of Christianity churches and monasteries sprang up in the country. The beautiful cathedrals and churches of Early Russia still stand in their glory. From the 10-th to the 12-th centuries Russia was a progressive Christian state. With the development of feudalism the Russian state disintegrated into separate principalities. The princes quarrelled among themselves and waged feudal wars. The hordes of armed nomads conquered the Russian land. The yoke lasted till 1380. Russia"s strength was diminishing. Lands on the Black sea coast and along the Volga river were lost. The campaign to liberate Russia was headed by Moscow. For the first time Moscow was mentioned by the chroniclers in 1147. At that time Russian lands began to unite round Moscow, which led to the establishment of a strong centralised state.

During its long history Moscow was exposed to several invasions. In 1237 it fell under the power of the Golden Horde. Moscow began to rise in the 14-th century. Under Ivan III the Great, in the mid-fifteenth century, Moscow became the principal city of the state of Muscovy. During the Time of Troubles Moscow was occupied by the Polish invaders but they were defeated by the popular levy headed by Minin and Pozharsky. The army of Napoleon entered Moscow on September 15, 1812. The emperor was disappointed that no Russian bowed forward, offering him the city keys. Napoleon settled in the Kremlin. The city was set ablaze. Fires spread to the edge of the Kremlin. Napoleon tried to open peace talks. But Alexander I, who was in St. Petersburg, did not wish to discuss peace. Napoleon left Moscow. His warriors were routed by the Russian troops. In 1941 the German armies were defeated not far from Moscow.

Nowadays Moscow is the capital of Russia. It is the largest city of the country. Moscow lies in the valley of the Moskva river. Moscow is a political, administrative, economic, industrial, educational and cultural centre of the Russian Federation. A lot of educational institutions are located here.

There are many places of interest in Moscow. There are a lot of historical monuments, museums, art galleries and theatres in the city. The Historical Museum, the State Pushkin Museum of Fine Arts, the State Tretyakov Gallery are known all over the world. The Bolshoy, Mali and Art theatres are famous too.

The Kremlin - the oldest historical and architectural centre - is the heart of Moscow. At first the Kremlin was a wooden fort. Under Dmitry Donskoy the Kremlin was built of white stone. Redbrick walls and towers replaced the walls of white stone at the end of the 15th century. The most ancient tower is the Secret one. It was built in 1485. The Saviour Tower with its Kremlin chimes is the symbol of Russia. The chiming clock was established in 1625. Ivan III invited Italian architects to construct the Kremlin cathedrals. In 1547 Ivan the Terrible was the first Russian tsar to be crowned in the five-domed Assumption Cathedral. From 1721 the coronations of all Russian Emperors were held there. The Archangel Cathedral was the burial place of the Russian Princes and Tsars. Grand Prince Ivan Kalita was the first to be buried here. Altogether there are 53 royal tombs there. The Annunciation Cathedral is the main Russian Cathedral. It is famous for the icons created by Andrew Rublev and his apprentices. Not far from the Assumption Cathedral we can see the Faceted Palace. It is the oldest secular building in Moscow. All coronation feasts were held here. Ivan the Great Bell Tower, the construction of the 16th century, rises in the centre of the Kremlin. On the stone pedestal at the foot of the Bell Tower stands the Tsar-Bell, the largest bell in the world. The bell was cast for the Assumption Belfry. It was damaged during the great fire of Moscow in 1737. In 1836 it was put on the pedestal. Not far from it is the Tsar-Cannon. Senate Square is located between the Senate and the Arsenal. The Grand Kremlin Palace is situated not far from Senate Square. The Russian Emperors usually stayed in the palace when they came to Moscow. It was designed by the architect K. A. Ton in 1840. The Armoury Chamber is the famous museum where military trophies, Tsar"s regalia and church ceremonial items are displayed. The Kremlin workshop was made a museum of military glory after the battle of Poltava in 1709 by Peter Гs order.

All the ceremonies are held in Red Square. At its one end we can see St. Basil"s Cathedral the Blessed. It was built in the mid-16 century for Tsar Ivan IV to commemorate the victory over the Golden Horde. Lobnoye Mesto, a lifted railed platform of white stone, is situated to the left of St. Basil"s Cathedral. Built in the 16-th century it was the place from which all Tsar"s edicts were announced. Lenin"s Mausoleum, designed by A. Shchusev in 1924, is located in Red Square. Until recently it was a monument of great significance. The Historical Museum locks the other end of Red Square. Next to it one can see the reconstructed Iverskay Chapel and the Resurrection gates. Alexander Gardens, laid out at the beginning of the 19-th century, are located beneath the Kremlin walls. The Tomb of the Unknown Soldier is near the entrance to the Gardens. It is the major memorial to the warriors of the Great Patriotic War.

St. Petersburg is the second Russia"s largest city. St. Petersburg, one of the most beautiful cities of Europe, has played an important role in Russian history. It was founded by Peter I in 1703. St. Petersburg is situated on the Neva river. The city once spread across nearly 100 islands. Canals and natural channels make St. Petersburg a city of waterways and bridges. For two centuries St. Petersburg was the capital of the Russian Empire. After the revolutions of 1917, which took place in St. Petersburg it was renamed into Leningrad. During World War II the city was besieged and fiercely defended. Today the city is an important industrial centre and the nation"s largest seaport. In 1991 St. Petersburg got its original name back.

Central St. Petersburg is divided by the Neva River into four parts: the Admiralty Side, Vasilyevsky Island, the Petrograd Side, and the Vyborg Side. The Admiralty Side is rich in museums, monuments, historical buildings and squares. From the Admiralty, the heart of Peter"s city, an avenue known as Nevsky Prospect runs eastward. There are a lot of palaces, churches, stores, cafes, and theatres there.

St. Petersburg is proud of its rich architecture that includes the cathedral of the Peter-Paul Fortress, the Summer Palace, the Winter Palace, the Smolny Convent, the Kazan and St. Isaac"s cathedrals, the Smolny Institute, the new Admiralty, and the Senate. There are many important educational and scientific research centres in St. Petersburg. Among these are: the University of Saint Petersburg, the Academy of Fine Arts, the Institute of Mines, and the Military Medical Academy.

St. Petersburg is a city of culture. There are a lot of theatres and concert halls there. The Mariinsky Theatre has long enjoyed an international reputation. Famous museums include the State Russian Museum, which specialises in Russian painting, and the Hermitage with a rich collection of western European painting. In 1764 the Hermitage was established by Catherine II. It was opened to the public in 1852. In St. Petersburg there are many stadiums and other outdoor recreation facilities provided by the Kirov Park, the Zoo, the botanical gardens, and numerous other parks and gardens.

The "Golden Ring" is a very popular tourist route. It includes towns and villages in the north-eastern part of the former State of Muscovy. It is rich in historical and architectural monuments. Among the most notable towns of the "Golden Ring" route are Pereslavl-Zalessky, the birthplace of the Russian Prince Alexander Nevsky; Rostov Veliky, the finest and largest town of Prince Andrew Bogolyubsky"s principality; Borisoglebsky, the Fortress-Monastery, founded for the protection of the travellers; Uglich, the tragic stage of Tsarevich Dmitry death; Kostroma, known for its elaborate churches and cathedrals; Yaroslavl, Vladimir, Suzdal, and others. All these towns played a very important role in the making of the state of Russia.

The history of Vladimir dates back to the year 1108 when it was founded by Vladimir Monomakh. Prince Andrew Bogolyubsky moved his capital from Kiev to Vladimir in 1157. In 1160 he invited craftsmen to build the Assumption Cathedral. By the 15-th century the city declined. Now Vladimir is famous for its architecture of early Russia.

Suzdal was the capital city of Yury Dolgoruky"s Rostov-Suzdal Principality. After the fall of Kiev Suzdal became a religious, political and economic centre of medieval Russia. Many of its monasteries and convents are associated with the banished princes and nobility. Numerous churches and monasteries were built in Suzdal during the reign of Andrew Bogolyubsky. In the 13-th and 14-th centuries Suzdal-Vladimir principality disintegrated.

Моя Россия (перевод текста)

Россия - уникальная страна. Наша страна известна всему миру своими необъятными территориями, разнообразными и превосходными пейзажами. Вдобавок к ним мы имеем великую историю и культурное наследие. Из поколения в поколение передаются истории о грандиозных событиях и личностях. Поэтому думая о родине, мы думаем о великих людях: художниках, композиторах, писателях и поэтах. Я люблю свою Россию и горжусь её бескрайними полями, пышными лесами, морями, реками, озёрами, городами и сёлами.

Я не смогу оставить свою страну. Я родился здесь, здесь рос, так что она теперь часть моей жизни. Очень хорошо жить в мирное время. Только так я могу ходить в чудесную школу и получать образование, заниматься любимыми делами и быть рядом с семьёй и друзьями. Потому что родина - это не только земля, это ещё и люди, которые нас окружают. Она больше чем можно подумать.

Я нацелен на обретение глубоких знаний о свое стране. Для этого понадобится много усилий, а на пути будут встречаться сложности, но я уверен в себе. Как говорят, счастлив тот, кто знает сою цель, понимает свой путь и видит способы воплощения мечтаний. Поэтому я украшу свою жизнь мечтами о светлом будущем. Всё-таки я очень рад тому, что живу в России.

Иностранцы при общении с русскими часто просят рассказать о России на английском, а именно об особенностях менталитета жителей нашей страны или национальных праздниках.

На этот случай лучше подготовиться и достойно рассказать о своей стране.

Если о России нужно рассказать в рамках выступления на уроке, рекомендуется составить небольшой план, рассказав коротко по каждому из пунктов. План может выглядеть так:

  • Вступление
  • Основная часть:

    Рассказать о географическом положении и населении;

    Описать особенности менталитета, обычаев и традиций;

    Рассказать о культуре и др.

  • Заключение

Вступление

Если рассказ является устным выступлением на английском языке, а не продолжением общения с иностранцем, то необходимо начать с логического вступления. Начало сделает более красивым крылатое выражение о родине. Например, высказывание Сенеки: «Men love their country, not because it is great, but because it is their own» – «Родину любят не за то, что она велика, а за то, что она своя» .

После можно продолжить, рассказав, что Россия – это ваша родная страна. Можно уточнить, в каком именно городе вы родились. Если речь идет о живом общении, то можно сразу приступать к основной части. В этом могут помочь вводные слова, например, «well» или «so».

Основная часть

В основной части нужно рассказать всю общую информацию о стране, привести конкретные цифры и данные. Это может выглядеть так:

It is a known fact that Russia is the largest country in the world. Its territory is about one-eighth part of the world’s land populated by men. This country has huge natural and mineral resources. About 10 million people live in Moscow, the capital of my country and one of the biggest cities in the world. Russia is a multinational country, and while the Russians make up the main part of population, there are over 160 nationalities living in various regions of the country.

Не секрет, что самая большая мировая страна – это Россия. Ее территория составляет 1/8 часть заселенной человеком суши. Страна обладает огромными минеральными и натуральными богатствами. В Москве, в столице страны, проживает 10 млн человек, это один из самых больших городов мира. Россия – многонациональная страна, основное население составляют русские., и в различных регионах проживают свыше 160 национальностей.

Будет интереснее, если здесь будут рассказаны многие занимательные и не известные широкой общественности факты. Немногие знают, что в России имеется 11 часовых поясов:

Our country stretches across 10,000 km, and there are eleven time zones in Russia, that’s why when it is almost midnight in Yakutsk it’s only noon in Kaliningrad.

Наша страна простирается на 10 тысяч км и располагается в 11 часовых поясах, поэтому, когда в Якутске почти полночь, в Калининграде только полдень.

Рассказ можно разбавить географическими особенностями страны:

There are many rivers and lakes in Russia. There are more than 2 million rivers. The Volga is considered to be the longest river in Europe. It flows into the Caspian Sea – the largest lake.

В России много рек и озер. Здесь более 2 млн рек. Река Волга считается самой длинной рекой в Европе. При этом она впадает в Каспийское море, являющимся самым большим озером.

В рассказе о России необходимо затронуть и культуру. Здесь можно назвать выдающихся русских писателей. (Есенин, Пушкин, Толстой. Лермонтов), художников (Айвазовский, Шишкин, Левитан) и композиторов (Глинка, Бородин, Мусоргский). Рассказ можно дополнить именами любимых актеров. Многие известные актеры имеют русские корни, например, Дэвид Духовны, Натали Портман.

Например:

There are many outstanding Russian composers who are world-renowned. Everyone knows the names of Tchaikovsky, Glinka, Rimsky-Korsakov. Their music earned the admiration of the public and universally acclaimed. Tolstoy, Lermontov, Pushkin are the most famous Russian authors. For example, Alexander Pushkin is regarded as the founder of Russian literature. He is the author of more than 700 lyrical poems.

Многие русские композиторы известны на весь мир. Всем известны имена Чайковского, Глинки, Римского-Корсакова. Их музыка получила признание публики и вызывает восхищение. Толстой, Лермонтов, Пушкин – самые знаменитые русские писатели. К примеру, Александр Пушкин считается отцом русской литературы. Он является автором более 700 стихотворений.

Конечно же, рассказывайте о ваших любимых деятелях искусства. Так вы позволите узнать вас лучше и продемонстрируете хороший уровень культурно-эстетического развития. Иностранцам будет интересно послушать о русских традициях. Здесь можно рассказать не только о традиционных праздниках, но и необычных традициях. Например, о том, что в России Новый год праздную два раза: по новому и старому стилю. Многие праздники в России проходят как застолье, русские любят петь за столом и говорить тосты:

The Old New Year is the strangest and most confusing Russian holiday. It is celebrated on January 14th and marks the changing of the year according to the “old style” Julian calendar. For most Russians it’s just another chance to prolong winter holdays, to have a festive meal and to make New Year wishes.

Заключение

Необходимо помнить, что имена собственные не нужно переводить, а записывать транслитерацией. В завершении рассказа стоит рассказать, что именно нравится в стране, и чем можно гордиться.

Если вы рассказываете о России во время живого общения с иностранцами, можно сводить гостей в ресторан, где готовят традиционные блюда, или приготовьте что-нибудь сами. Иностранцы не откажутся провести вечер с вашими друзьями, ведь всегда интересно, как проходят вечера в России.
