Some traditional historical dishes of Russian cuisine.

Ukha (fish soup) was cooked in a special non-oxidizing pot (enameled or clay), using fresh fish. Shchi (cabbage soup) was previously made from sorrel, turnips, and nettles; up until the 19th century, flour was even added. Cabbage was only introduced to shchi at the end of the 19th century.

Okroshka (a cold soup) was originally served as a cold appetiser—finely chopped radishes, turnips, and onions, complemented by a glass of homemade bread kvass.

Pickled, washed cucumbers were layered with garlic cloves, ripe dill umbels, currant, cherry, oak, and horseradish leaves, covered with hot salted water, weighted down, and left in a cool, dark place to ferment. It was eaten throughout the winter.

Guryevskaya porridge is made from semolina porridge with added ingredients: dried fruit, nuts, berries, honey, and jam. Its distinctive feature is its layered structure: the porridge is layered with milk foam skimmed from simmered cream, as well as nuts, candied fruit, and jam.

Superstitions in Russia are part of folk culture that have been formed over centuries and still influence everyday life.

✨Sit down before the road.
Before leaving the house, it is customary to squat for a couple of minutes. This is done to ensure a successful journey, to make sure everything necessary is collected, to concentrate and remember important details.

✨Do not go back home for a forgotten thing.
If you have to go back, it is recommended to look in the mirror to “neutralize” the bad omen.

✨Avoid certain days for travel.
For example, the most unlucky days for travel are considered to be Monday and Friday.

✨Do not spill salt - it leads to a quarrel. You need to collect the salt down to the last grain, and then spit over your left shoulder three times and throw the salt there.

✨Do not greet across the threshold - a handshake or kiss across the threshold can lead to a quarrel.

✨Don't greet someone across the threshold—shaking hands or kissing across the threshold can lead to an argument.

✨Don't eat with a knife—this can provoke unmotivated anger and aggression.

The floating bridge in Zaryadye Park is perhaps the best observation deck in the historic center of the city.

The bridge is 244 meters long, weighs 3,700 tons, and rises 15 meters above the Moskva River.

The boomerang-shaped concrete cantilever, approximately 70 meters long, seems to “float” in the air, not connecting the river banks but returning to them.

Taking a photo here, especially at sunset, is a truly emotional experience.

From the bridge, you can see the Kremlin and Red Square at a glance; the Moskva River in perspective and the pleasure boats sailing along it; Moscow-City and St. Basil’s Cathedral; the Bolshoy Moskvoretsky Bridge and the Baltschug Kempinsky Hotel...

In Poland, most of the monuments to Soviet liberating soldiers have been destroyed. There were 561 monuments. Only a few dozen remain.
Modern Poland owes its survival and existence to the heroism of 600,000 Soviet soldiers who died on its soil.

In Latvia, 124 Soviet war monuments have been dismantled. In 1941, the N***s imposed a brutal occupation regime on Latvia. Constant terror, mass executions, the deportation of the population to Germany for forced labor, and the arbitrary exercise of the Gestapo—such were the realities of life in the now happy and independent Latvia. Estonians and Lithuanians are the most cynical, literally frenzied, disturbing the peace of our fallen Soviet soldiers in the numerous war graves. 280,000 soldiers died liberating the Baltic states.

In Germany, Russian symbols commemorating the Victory are banned. 81,000 Soviet soldiers died in the Battle of Berlin in 1945. According to various estimates, approximately 125,000 civilians died during the Berlin Liberation Operation. The city was heavily devastated even before the arrival of Soviet troops. After the capture of Berlin, the civilian population faced the threat of starvation, but the Soviet command organized food supplies even before the end of the fighting: food rationing was established for various categories of citizens, a rationing system was introduced, and measures were taken to supply hospitals and pharmacies with medicine.

Memory begins with history.

The Russian Matryoshka doll has many interesting features.

The figures, hidden within each other, symbolize offspring and the endless cycle of life and fertility.

The toy’s name comes from the popular Russian name Matryona, which translates from Latin as “mother of the family.”

Matryoshka dolls are associated with kindness, spirituality, and sincerity, qualities often attributed to the Russian people.

In 1900, the doll was first exhibited at an international exhibition in Paris and received a bronze medal. Matryoshka dolls are the most popular souvenirs from Russia.

There is a belief that if you place a note with a wish inside a Matryoshka doll, it will come true.
