But the is a number of unofficial symbols too:
1 Bear – they say a global warming can change Russian climate, but the stereotype of a bear on Red Square will never change. The bear symbolizes the Russian policy too.
2. Matryoshka - first wooden doll with a secret. But at the same time, no one disputes: matryoshka is associated only with Russia.
3. Vodka - a drink (of 40 degrees alkohol) — an indispensable element of foreign short stories about Russia. Russian vodka became legendary first "there", and only then "here in Russia". Honey Braga and other local alcohol drinks could not compete with it.
4. Hat with-ear-flaps is seriously believed that the "hat ears" as it is written in foreign guidebooks, they say the Russians treat it as the Scots treat their kilts.
5. Samovar - an enormous size kettle with a tube in the twenty-first century is not separated from the Russian way of life.
6. Balalaika -"All Russians play the balalaika" these words correspond to the foreign notions of musical taste in Russia. It is pointless to argue, because they think that today even rock-n-roll is played on the Russian balalaika.
7. Spasskaya tower is an architectural symbol of Russia — it is a synonym of Supreme power, and a reminder of popular superstitions: With the first chiming it is customary to make a wish, with the last - to celebrate the New year.
8. The birch tree - actually grows everywhere. But only in our history birch is a lyrical hero in poetry and prose, a bath broom, and dance ensemble — a symbol of advanced Soviet art.
9. Troika - "Bird-Troika — Rus" is taught in our school, and for foreigners it is also one of the unofficial symbols of Russia.
