"Russia is the largest country in the world. It is so big that it stretches across two continents: Europe and Asia. However, most of it is uninhabited. The majority of Russians live in several cities in the western part of the country. Many amazing animals live in Russia. Some are endangered, or at risk of dying out. Russia has laws that are meant to keep these animals safe. However, poaching is a problem.

Russia has a rich history and culture, or way of life. Russian authors have been popular around the world for decades. Many Russians are proud of their country. However, a growing number of Russians are not happy with the way the government is doing things. These people are protesting in spite of the danger of being arrested. They want their country to be better to its own people and to people in other countries"--.
