- The original home of Vodka.
- Has more land than the dwarf planet Pluto.
- Is the Home Of The Russian Orthodox Church.
- Vladimir Putin. Tougher than Barack Hussein Obama (Soetoro.). Vladimir Putin actually hunts, and knows martial arts.
- Lots of trains.
- Moscow.
- You are home to a lot of economic activity now.
- Russia has an extremely cold climate with short, but hot summers.
- Russia is very diverse with people of different races, and religions all living in one country.
- You guys deal with terrorism like we do.

There isn't a neighboring country that hasn't been exposed to Rssian fury.
Identity crisis.. Not Western or Eastern
Their men are mysogenistic and controlling.
Their women gold digging back stabbers
Been involved in Many bloody battles, tells you something about their temper

Ps. Vodka isn't originally Russian. It's an old drink that has been around through the ages much like wine and beer.

My best friend is Russian. She is sweet, caring, supportive, talented and smart. Not that I didn't think Russians aren't like that before I met her, but I did think most were beautiful women or tough men. Also very cold and snowy.

Reginelli · Answer

Moscow, cold, and to be honest Rocky 4. That was my favorite movie when I was little and watched it all the time. I loved when they played the anthem when they were in the ring looking at each other.
