"The Soviet rule left its impression on the culture, creating a fundamental fear and mistrust of those outside the family, extended family and other close familial connections," she told Live Science. The Communist Party ruled Russia and neighboring territories for more than 70 years, uniting them into the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR). The Soviet Union broke up in 1991. ]]> 2018-05-15 19:35:40 UTC https://padlet.com/sinemakbas8097/o165fplwps38/wish/260997936 Religion sinemakbas8097 https://padlet.com/sinemakbas8097/o165fplwps38/wish/261003291 Russia is a multi-ethnic and multi-faith nation.

Along with other religious celebrations, Christmas was banned in Russia after the 1917 Revolution and was only openly observed again in 1992. The Russian Orthodox church – and almost all Russians – celebrate Christmas (the birth of Jesus) on 7 January. It’s mainly a religious occasion, when families gather together to attend church services on Christmas Eve (6 January) and then go home to feast on a special ‘holy supper’, which includes a dish called kutia, a porridge with raisins. Some people attend all-night vigils at church; others just go on Christmas morning]]> 2018-05-15 20:03:26 UTC https://padlet.com/sinemakbas8097/o165fplwps38/wish/261006117 Geography sinemakbas8097 https://padlet.com/sinemakbas8097/o165fplwps38/wish/261008041 Russia is a land of superlatives.

They combine the pagan tradition of marking the end of winter and the beginning of spring with the Christian tradition of feasting and merrymaking before Lent. Each day there are different activities: making Maslenitsa dolls from straw and old clothes, making and eating lots of pancakes (blinis), sledging, playing on seesaws, singing, fist fights, visiting the in-laws, exchanging gifts, feasting and drinking tea or vodka.]]> 2018-05-15 20:14:17 UTC https://padlet.com/sinemakbas8097/o165fplwps38/wish/261008807
