Getting to know 🇷🇺Russia -1
🥳 On June 12, we celebrate Russia Day.
Ahead of this, we are sharing some facts about our country that probably you did not know!
✨ Russia is the biggest country in the whole world. It is also the only country washed by a dozen seas.
To put it into perspective:
✔ the area of the whole country is approximately equal to the surface area of the planet Pluto
✔ it is 1.8 times bigger than the USA
✔ France is 20 times smaller.
🚊 The Trans-Siberian Railway is the longest railway on our planet. It has a length of 9298 kilometers. It crosses 8 time zones, passes through 87 cities and towns and crosses 16 rivers, including the Volga.
🌍The volume of Baikal water is about 23 thousand cubic km. The lake contains about 1/5 of the world’s surface water reserves of the Earth (excluding the ice of Antarctica, Greenland, and other glaciers). It contains more than 4/5 of freshwater in Russia.
💧 Volga is the longest river of Europe. It rises northwest of Moscow and extends southward some 3700 km through the whole central part of the country.
4️⃣ There is the closest point between Russia and America that is only 4 km long.
✏️ Russian language is one of the 5 most spoken languages in the world.
🌲 Siberia contains more than 25% of the world's forests.
👩👱♂️👩🦱 Russia is multinational and multicultural. Russia has got more than 100 nationalities.
🚀 Russian cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin was the first human in space
when he orbited the earth in a 108-minute flight in 1961. In 1967 Russia also launched the world’s first satellite, Sputnik.
🚀 Two Russian cosmonauts have spent more time in space than any other person.
Gennady Padalka broke the record in 2015 with a total of 879 days in space over five space flights, taking the record previously held by Sergei Krikalev with 803 days, 9 hours and 39 minutes over six space flights.
📚 The Russian State Library is the biggest in Europe and second in the World after Library of Congress in the USA. The Russian State Library is located in Moscow and was founded in 1862.

👀Getting to know 🇷🇺Russia - 3
2️⃣0️⃣2️⃣1️⃣ was declared in Russia the Year of Science and Technology. We share with you some of the most remarkable past year’s achievements of the Russian science
🚢 In December 2020 Russia launched the ‘North Pole’ Floating Arctic Research Vessel. It is a unique self-propelled polar station with the functionality of a research center. No one has ever built anything like this before.
The North Pole will house a crew of 14 to 34 researchers and will be equipped with 15 labs for year-round work. It will be able to drift in the Arctic ice without icebreaker assistance and navigate autonomously in remote waters for about two years.
🧲 A proton synchrotron booster with no analogues in the world was started at Russia’s Nuclotron-based Ion Collider Facility (NICA), being built in Dubna, near Moscow.
The Booster synchrotron, or the Booster, is a superconducting accelerator that will provide the scientists with most modern technologies.
They will allow high-tech curing of complicated cancer tumours and solving the issues of medical physiology during long space expeditions, process nuclear waste from nuclear power plants, test microelectronics for space satellites, and will be helpful in the fields of ecology and many other realms.
🚀In space, the achievement of Russian technologies was the first X-ray survey of the cosmic sky, which was made by the Russian space Observatory "Spektr-RG".
Now we know almost ten times more X-ray sources in four times greater resolution than on the former best sky map in the world so far, the German orbital Observatory ROSAT, obtained back in 1990.
🥇 The Russian vaccine against the new coronavirus "Sputnik V" is definitely one of the greatest achievements of the past year.
Named after the first Soviet space satellite, "Sputnik V" is the world’s first registered vaccine based on a well-studied human adenoviral vector-based platform.
