It is much smaller than the Baltic Sea, but there is much more water in it than in the Baltic Sea. The water in the lake is so clear that if you look down you can count the stones on the bottom.
Russia has one-sixth of the world’s forests. Russia is very reach in oil, iron ore, natural gas, copper, nickel and other mineral resources. Russia is a parliamentary republic.
The Head of State is the President. The legislative powers are exercised by the Duma. At present, the political and economic situationn in the country is rather complicated.
There are a lot of problems in the national economy of the Russian Federation. I’m sure that we, the younger generation, can do very much to make Russia as strong and powerful as it used to be.
