Today's introduction to you is the "fighting nation", leaving aside factors such as Vladivostok and Mongolia, a country that I personally like very much, but history is history, I can't forget, far away...
1. Russia is the largest country in the world, with an area of 17.12 million square kilometers. It is twice the size of the United States, 48 times that of Germany, 128 times that of the United Kingdom, and 414 times that of Switzerland.

When diplomatic conflict was about to erupt, scientists discovered that the sound came from newly discovered fish stocks, for which scientists won the Nobel Prize in Biology.
Before 1917, the family of the Russian Empire was one of the largest in the world, and in Russia, it was a bit of a shame that people thought there were 8 children in the family, but it was normal to have 12 to 14 children.
14) During the reign of Ivan the Great's control of the Russian Empire, the alcohol content of various beer drinks was limited to between 1% and 6%.

18. There are many local tycoons in Moscow, and the world's largest.
The city is still the city with the most billionaires in the world.
In addition, it is also one of the worst-trafficked cities in the world, giving birth to a very funny spectacle: many rich people in Moscow do not go out in private cars, but spend a lot of money to buy ambulances and pretend to be rescued so that they can avoid traffic jams.
19. National Sex Day.
The folk style of the fighting nation is really unrestrained, and even the painting style of the festival is very tough. They have a "National Sex Day" and nothing else, it's all about getting everyone back off to have kids. The government hopes to use this holiday to boost fertility in Russia, which is effective from the current data.
Russia has a national holiday, which is a festival in Russia, also known as pregnancy day or birth day. Held on September 12 every year, it is hosted by the Ulyanovsk region (Lenin's birthplace). On this day, Russian office workers will take a day off to create people, and the effect is very good, because the birth rate of newborns in June is higher than in other months.
20. There are many Russian speakers.
Russian is one of the ten most spoken languages in the world, and although it is not as good as the big three of Chinese, English and Spanish, it is more than French.
In addition to Russia, Russian-speaking countries include Belarus, Kyrgyzstan and Kazakhstan.
In addition, while the official language of Ukraine is Ukrainian, Russian is also the lingua franca there; so are many other former Soviet union members.
21) Russia is the largest country in the world, with a surface area as large as Pluto.
Russia is the largest country in the world by area. Russia alone is larger than the entire European continent, spanning nine time zones and almost half of its territory is covered by forests.
However, although Russia is so large, many places are basically useless, and before, it was basically a place dedicated to exile.
Siberia accounts for 77% of Russia's land area, however, only 20% of Russia's population lives in Siberia, which means that most of Siberia is uninhabited.
22 Russia is one of the two most neighboring countries in the world, and it shares a total of 14 borders.
Russia borders 14 countries, including Norway, Finland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Belarus, China, Ukraine, Georgia, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Mongolia and North Korea.
23, the world's deepest lake is here.
Although Siberia is very desolate, there are also some places in Russia that are natural treasures, Lake Baikal. Not only is it the deepest lake in the world, but it also has 20% of the world's fresh water.
Lake Baikal is very rich in biodiversity, with about 1,600 species of flora and fauna living in the lake, two-thirds of which cannot be found anywhere else on earth.
24. Life expectancy at birth in Russia is 64 years for men and 76 years for women. But surprisingly, 25% of Russian men die before the age of 55, and there are 11 million more Russian women than men.
This is not because Russian men have any strange illness, but because many of them commit suicide by getting drunk or getting into a drunken fight, crashing a car, or playing a dangerous activity.
25. "Alcoholics".
The average Russian drinks about 18 liters a year, more than twice as much alcohol as doctors think it's safe to drink, and beer is only considered a drink in Russia.
Russian vodka is already very strong, but some people feel that it is not enough, so they go to drink laundry detergent and the like, because there is more alcohol in it, so that many people will die every year.
Even stranger, Russians even believe that drinking alcohol is good for health and that vodka can cure headaches. Moreover, they used to think that beer was not alcohol at all.
26, Russia's famous drink Kvass, this thing is called "drinkable bread", is the Russian national soda.
Kvass is a microcarbonized, refreshing fermented beverage that, although it contains small amounts of alcohol, is not considered an alcoholic beverage and is made from regular rye bread or dough.
27 Although Russians drink so much, they are far from being the most capable drinkers in the world, and there are three countries in the world that are more outrageous than Russia.
According to the World Health Organization, Russia is the world's fourth-largest drinker after Belarus, Moldova and Lithuania.
28, in fact, they also love to drink tea.
Russia is also a big tea drinker, consuming six times as much tea as Americans each year.
29 Although it is said that it can drink and is said to be a "fighting nation", russia's education is still good. First, basically 100 per cent literacy, the proportion of university students is the highest in the world, and 54 out of 100 young people are university students. In addition, the scenery of Moscow State University is still very beautiful.
30, as China's largest neighbor, Russia obviously does not want to waste China's advanced online shopping business, every day there are 500,000 express deliveries sent from China, millet mobile phones, charging treasures, body contour pants and so on.
31 Russia and the United States are actually very close, intuitively, Russia and the United States seem to be very far apart, but in fact the distance is very close, only 82 kilometers, because the border of northern Russia extends eastward to the Bering Strait, close to the United States of Alaska.
This is easier to see on the world map of China because we have the Pacific Ocean at the center of the map.
But it's easy to overlook popular world maps in the West because they have the Atlantic Ocean at the center of the map, so Russia and the United States are at opposite ends of the map.
32, Russians really like to dance.
Wedding scenes are often acrobatic scenes + jumping dice, especially in the Caucasus, where in addition to various circles, there are even knives to turn over, directly kneeling on the ground to turn over, a veritable fighting nation.
33 When it comes to nuclear weapons, the United States is generally considered a major nuclear power, but the Russian military has the most nuclear weapons, about 8400, more than any other country in the world.
34, now when it comes to the history of human space exploration, many people may first think of the American Apollo moon landing program, but the first human to enter space is actually Gagarin of the former Soviet Union.
In 1961, Yuri Gagarin became the first astronaut to go into space, he flew the Vostok-1 spacecraft for a 108-minute orbital flight, and the Soviet Union launched the world's first artificial satellite "Artificial Satellite" in 1957 in addition to being the first to send humans into outer space.
35 Russia sold Alaska to the United States in 1867 for $7.2 million, and if adjusted for inflation, it means that the United States bought Alaska at the current price of $118 million, which May be something that Russia regrets.
36 The current world birth record is maintained by a Russian woman who has given birth to 69 children.
37, Russians eat dumplings, is a kind of shortbread dumplings, usually filled with minced meat, and then wrapped in a thin dough, they can be eaten alone, can also be coated with thick butter, drizzled with sour cream, or put in soup, is definitely a favorite of Russians and Eastern Europeans!
38 Cats are civil servants.
The Hermitage Museum, where the Hermitage is located, is still a mecca for cats, as there are more than 70 cats in the museum, each with a photo and passport.
These cats are the rat-catchers here, and they protect the artwork from rats, a tradition set by Queen Elizabeth at the time.
39 It's so exciting to be an animal in Russia, and you never know if you'll go down in history in any strange way.
Historically, a rat was hanged in Russia by the famous Peter the Great, who turned out to be a rat that bit Peter's beloved toy soldier.
40 The Winter in Russia was really terrible, it used to block Napoleon, then the Germans, and even the inhabitants of Moscow may not be able to cope with it.
In Moscow, icicles on the eaves of the roof can become super large in winter, so the police must block the sidewalks or someone will be killed by icicles.
