The Great Patriotic War (1941-1945) - the war between the USSR, Germany and its allies in the framework of the Second World War on the territory of the USSR and Germany. Germany attacked the USSR on June 22, 1941 with the expectation of a short military campaign, but the war dragged on for several years and ended in the complete defeat of Germany. The main reason for the outbreak of World War II was the expansionism of the Third Reich and its desire for world domination. Hitler has repeatedly stated that his main opponent is the Soviet Union. The Great Patriotic War ended in the complete defeat of Germany and its allies. The USSR not only defended its independence, but also liberated the countries of Eastern and Central Europe from Nazism.
But the victory to the Soviet people went very hard. Over 27 million people died, thousands of cities and tens of thousands of villages were destroyed. Most of the infrastructure in the territories captured by the Germans was destroyed: enterprises, bridges, railways. Severe losses were suffered by agriculture, especially livestock. The Soviet Union lost over 30% of its national wealth.
Every country has got its traditions and customs, including tastes in food.
Let's have a look at Russian food. Russian national cuisine has formed for many centuries. Russia is a multinational country. It is home to over than 100 nationalities and each has its own cuisine, with local food and traditions. Therefore, it is difficult to draw a clear boundary of Russian cuisine. However, there are a certain set of dishes that can be called native Russian dishes and which should be tasted by each foreigner coming to Russia.
The traditional Russian lunch usually consists of three courses. The first one may be soup with meat and vegetables, sometimes with the addition of different cereals, all sorts of stew and borscht. The second course may be meat or fish with vegetables (potatoes, pasta, stewed cabbage and, of course, porridge). Third - compote, jelly, kvass or juice. Russian people like pancakes, and pelmeni too.
I can talk a lot about it but it will take a lot of time!
У каждой страны есть свои традиции и обычаи, в том числе вкусы в еде.
Давайте посмотрим на русскую кухню. Русская национальная кухня формировалась на протяжении многих веков. Россия-многонациональная страна. Здесь проживает более 100 национальностей, и каждая из них имеет свою собственную кухню, с местной кухней и традициями. Поэтому трудно провести четкую границу русской кухни. Однако есть определенный набор блюд, которые можно назвать исконно русскими блюдами и которые должен попробовать каждый иностранец, приезжающий в Россию.
Традиционный русский обед обычно состоит из трех блюд. Первым может быть суп с мясом и овощами, иногда с добавлением различных круп, а также холодец или борщ. Вторым блюдом может быть мясо или рыба с овощами (гарнир-картофель, макароны, тушеная капуста и, конечно же, каша). На третье - компот, кисель, квас или сок. Русские люди любят блины, и пельмени тоже.
Я могу много говорить об этом, но это займет много времени!
