THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION

The Russian Federation is one of the largest countries in the world. It occupies about one-seventh part of the earth’s surface. It covers the easter part of Europe and the north part of Asia. Its total area is over 17 million-square kilometers. It is washed by the seas of the Arctic Ocean in the nort-and those of the Baltic Ocean in the east. It borders on the Baltic Republic and some European countries in the west and on Asian countries in the south.

II. State symbols

The State symbol of Russia is a three-coloured banner with three horizontal stripes: white, blue and red. The white stripe symbolizes the earth, the blue one-sky, and red one symbolizes liberty.

A new national emblem is a two-headed eagle, which is the most ancient-symbol of Russia. All these symbols have been approved by the Federal Assembly.

III. Scenery and vegetation

There is hardly a country in the world where such a variety of scenery and vegetation can be found. We have steeps and taiga in the north, highlands and deserts in the east.

There are over two million rivers in Russia. Europe’s biggest river, the Volga, flows into the Caspian Sea. This river is a major transport route from North to South and a source of hydroelectric energy. It rises north of Moscow in the Valdai Halls.

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 the Pacific Ocean. Russia is rich in beautiful lakes. The three largest lakes in Russia are Baikal in South-Eastern Siberia and Ladoga and Onega in Northern Russia. The Baikal is the world’s most ancient lake and the deepest one. It contains one-fifth of the world’s fresh water.

V. Plains

The relief of Russia is mostly flat. Russia is located on two plains: the Great Russian Plain and the Western Siberian Plain.

VI. Mountain chains

There are three main mountain chains in Russia. The Caucasus is range of mountains which extends from the Black Sea to the Caspian Sea. The highest mountain is Mount Elbrus.

The Urals extend from the Arctic Ocean to the steeps. This mountain chain divides the European and Asian parts of Russia. The Urals are famous for their valuable minerals and gemstones.

There are 150 volcanoes in Kamchatka Peninsula, 30 of which are active.

VII. Forests

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.

VIII. Climate

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- winters are cold, springs and autumns are warm or cool, summers are hot and warm. In the south the temperature is usually above zero all year round, even in winter. Summer is really hot, the climate is very favourable. The climate in Siberia is continental: summers are hot and dry, winters are very cold.

IX. Natural resources

Russia is rich in mineral resources. It has deposits of coal, oil, natural gas, iron, ore, gold, nickel, copper etc.

X. Parliamentery republic

The Russian federation is set by the Constitution of 1993 after the collapse of the Soviet Union. According to the Constitution Russian is a Presidential Republic. The Head of the State is the President. The President is elected for six years.

The President is the Supreme Commander-in-Chief, he makes treaties, enforces laws and appoints ministers.

The Federal Government consists of three branches: legislative, executive and judicial. All of them are checked by the President.

The legislative power is represented by the Federal Assembly. It consists of two chambers. The Chamber is the Council of Federation, the Lower Chamber is the State Duma.

To become a law a bill must be approved by both chambers and signed by the President. The President may veto the bill.

The executive power belongs to the Government which is headed by Prime Minister. The Prime Minister forms his Cabinet.

The judicial branch is represented by the Constitutional Court, the Supreme Court and regional courts.

Russian is the state language of Russia. It is spoken throughout the whole territory of the Russian Federation. Meanwhile each Republic within Russia has its own national language.

In spite of the problems Russia is facing at presents, there are a lot of opportunities for this country to become one of the leading countries in the world. I’m sure that we, the younger generation, can do very much to make Russia as strong and powerful as it used to be.
