At the beginning of the last school year, during recess, I heard how exciting the children were telling each other about their family vacation trip. It turned out that the guys and their parents were friends and often went on vacation together. It has become a tradition for them. This is where the theme of the project “Family Traditions and Customs” arose.

And throughout the year we worked on this project “Family Traditions and Customs.” Who could we possibly be during this time?

We compiled our genealogies - acting as historians, we were antiquarians and archaeologists - when we were looking for old family things, journalists and reporters, when we asked our parents about our grandmothers and great-grandmothers, about the traditions and customs of our family.

This project revealed to us the importance of family traditions and allowed us to get acquainted with the history of the origin of our family’s traditions.

At the first stage of our work, we conducted a survey and questionnaire among children and parents where questions were asked such as: “What do children know about family traditions and customs? What are family heirlooms? What traditions and customs do you have in your family?” etc.

We had conversations with children about their family, family traditions and customs.

Family heirlooms

Family customs

Family traditions

Traditional dishes

After thinking, we decided that the product of our project would be presentations and the creation of an album “Family Traditions and Customs”, which the guys will now present.

So I invite Daria Sukhanova, who will tell us about her project “Family Heirlooms”.

Karina Gordeeva’s family completed the most extensive work on the family tree.

The family of Daniil Povarenkin completed work on family traditions.

The Kadnika Ulyana family will tell us about the traditional dish.

And the family of Alexey Solovyov presented us with a work about family customs.

Thank you for your performance.

Guys, please tell me, who else can tell you about the traditions and customs of their family? (children's stories about traditions)

Now guys, let's sum it up.

Summing up our work, we can safely say that we have achieved our goal and objectives. In the course of our work, we found out that traditions include joint holidays: birthdays and civil holidays, joint sporting events, hikes, excursions, trips to nature, school holidays. We have clarified the concept of “tradition”.

The hypothesis of our project is that “If every family member loves and respects each other, then the family will be friendly and strong” confirmed.

Analyzing the work done, we came to the conclusion that traditions and customs are of great importance for humans. Even if they are different for each nation, they unite and unite us.

It is very important to preserve family traditions, because it is traditions that unite generations and contribute to the transfer of experience and interaction with people.

You cannot be indifferent to the traditions and customs of your people, your family. We must know and cherish our traditions, customs and history.

And now I suggest you look video, in which your parents will give their opinion about working on this project.

Even earlier, I said that the product of our project, in addition to presentations, would also be an album that we would donate to our museum in memory of our class. And of course our guests can view it too. And I think this is not our last project.

The Russian people are representatives of the East Slavic ethnic group, the indigenous inhabitants of Russia (110 million people - 80% of the population of the Russian Federation), the largest ethnic group in Europe. The Russian diaspora numbers about 30 million people and is concentrated in countries such as Ukraine, Kazakhstan, Belarus, the countries of the former USSR, the USA and EU countries. As a result of sociological research, it was found that 75% of the Russian population of Russia are followers of Orthodoxy, and a significant part of the population does not consider itself to be a member of any particular religion. The national language of the Russian people is Russian.

Each country and its people have their own significance in the modern world; the concepts of folk culture and history of a nation, their formation and development are very important. Each nation and its culture are unique in their own way, the flavor and uniqueness of each nationality should not be lost or dissolved in assimilation with other peoples, the younger generation should always remember who they really are. For Russia, which is a multinational power and home to 190 peoples, the issue of national culture is quite acute, due to the fact that in recent years its erasure has been especially noticeable against the background of the cultures of other nationalities.

Culture and life of the Russian people

(Russian folk costume)

The first associations that arise with the concept of “Russian people” are, of course, breadth of soul and strength of spirit. But national culture is formed by people, and it is these character traits that have a huge impact on its formation and development.

One of the distinctive features of the Russian people has always been and is simplicity; in former times, Slavic houses and property were very often subjected to looting and complete destruction, hence the simplified attitude towards everyday issues. And of course, these trials that befell the long-suffering Russian people only strengthened their character, made them stronger and taught them to get out of any life situations with their heads held high.

Another trait that prevails in the character of the Russian ethnic group can be called kindness. The whole world is well aware of the concept of Russian hospitality, when “they feed you, give you something to drink, and put you to bed.” A unique combination of such qualities as cordiality, mercy, compassion, generosity, tolerance and, again, simplicity, very rarely found among other peoples of the world, all this is fully manifested in the very breadth of the Russian soul.

Hard work is another one of the main traits of the Russian character, although many historians in the study of the Russian people note both its love of work and enormous potential, as well as its laziness, as well as complete lack of initiative (remember Oblomov in Goncharov’s novel). But still, the efficiency and endurance of the Russian people is an indisputable fact that is difficult to argue against. And no matter how much scientists around the world want to understand the “mysterious Russian soul,” it is unlikely that any of them can do it, because it is so unique and multifaceted that its “zest” will forever remain a secret to everyone.

Traditions and customs of the Russian people

(Russian meal)

Folk traditions and customs represent a unique connection, a kind of “bridge of times” connecting the distant past with the present. Some of them have their roots in the pagan past of the Russian people, even before the baptism of Rus'; little by little their sacred meaning was lost and forgotten, but the main points have been preserved and are still observed. In villages and towns, Russian traditions and customs are honored and remembered to a greater extent than in cities, which is due to the more isolated lifestyle of city residents.

A large number of rituals and traditions are associated with family life (this includes matchmaking, wedding celebrations, and the baptism of children). Carrying out ancient rites and rituals guaranteed a successful and happy life in the future, the health of descendants and the general well-being of the family.

(Colorized photograph of a Russian family at the beginning of the 20th century)

Since ancient times, Slavic families were distinguished by a large number of family members (up to 20 people), adult children, having already gotten married, remained to live in their home, the head of the family was the father or older brother, everyone had to obey them and unquestioningly carry out all their orders. Typically, wedding celebrations were held either in the fall, after the harvest, or in the winter after the Epiphany holiday (January 19). Then the first week after Easter, the so-called “Red Hill,” began to be considered a very successful time for a wedding. The wedding itself was preceded by a matchmaking ceremony, when the groom's parents came to the bride's family along with his godparents, if the parents agreed to give their daughter in marriage, then a bridesmaid ceremony was held (meeting the future newlyweds), then there was a ceremony of collusion and hand-waving (the parents resolved the issues of the dowry and the date of the wedding festivities ).

The rite of baptism in Rus' was also interesting and unique, the child had to be baptized immediately after birth, for this purpose godparents were chosen, who would be responsible for the life and well-being of the godson all his life. When the baby was one year old, they sat him on the inside of a sheep's coat and cut his hair, cutting a cross on the crown, with such meaning that evil spirits would not be able to penetrate his head and would not have power over him. Every Christmas Eve (January 6), a slightly older godson should bring kutia (wheat porridge with honey and poppy seeds) to his godparents, and they, in turn, should give him sweets.

Traditional holidays of the Russian people

Russia is truly a unique state where, along with the highly developed culture of the modern world, they carefully honor the ancient traditions of their grandfathers and great-grandfathers, going back centuries and preserving the memory of not only Orthodox vows and canons, but also the most ancient pagan rites and sacraments. To this day, pagan holidays are celebrated, people listen to signs and age-old traditions, remember and tell their children and grandchildren ancient traditions and legends.

Main national holidays:

  • Christmas Jan. 7
  • Christmastide January 6 - 9
  • Baptism January 19
  • Maslenitsa from 20 to 26 February
  • Forgiveness Sunday ( before the onset of Lent)
  • Palm Sunday ( on the Sunday before Easter)
  • Easter ( the first Sunday after the full moon, which occurs no earlier than the day of the conventional vernal equinox on March 21)
  • Red hill ( first Sunday after Easter)
  • Trinity ( on Sunday on the day of Pentecost - the 50th day after Easter)
  • Ivan Kupala July 7
  • Peter and Fevronia Day July 8
  • Elijah's day August 2
  • Honey Spas August 14
  • Apple Spas August 19
  • Third (Khlebny) Spas August 29
  • Pokrov day October 14

There is a belief that on the night of Ivan Kupala (July 6-7), once a year a fern flower blooms in the forest, and whoever finds it will gain untold wealth. In the evening, large bonfires are lit near rivers and lakes, people dressed in festive ancient Russian attires lead round dances, sing ritual chants, jump over the fire, and let wreaths float downstream, in the hope of finding their soul mate.

Maslenitsa is a traditional holiday of the Russian people, celebrated during the week before Lent. A very long time ago, Maslenitsa was more likely not a holiday, but a ritual when the memory of departed ancestors was honored, placating them with pancakes, asking them for a fertile year, and spending the winter by burning a straw effigy. Time passed, and the Russian people, thirsting for fun and positive emotions in the cold and dull season, turned the sad holiday into a more cheerful and daring celebration, which began to symbolize the joy of the imminent end of winter and the arrival of the long-awaited warmth. The meaning has changed, but the tradition of baking pancakes remained, exciting winter entertainment appeared: sledding and horse-drawn sled rides, a straw effigy of Winter was burned, throughout the Maslenitsa week relatives went to pancakes with their mother-in-law and sister-in-law, an atmosphere of celebration and fun reigned everywhere , various theatrical and puppet shows were held on the streets with the participation of Petrushka and other folklore characters. One of the very colorful and dangerous entertainments on Maslenitsa was fist fights; the male population took part in them, for whom it was an honor to take part in a kind of “military affair” that tested their courage, boldness and dexterity.

Christmas and Easter are considered especially revered Christian holidays among the Russian people.

The Nativity of Christ is not only a bright holiday of Orthodoxy, it also symbolizes the revival and return to life, the traditions and customs of this holiday, filled with kindness and humanity, high moral ideals and the triumph of the spirit over worldly concerns, are being rediscovered and rethought by society in the modern world. The day before Christmas (January 6) is called Christmas Eve, because the main dish of the festive table, which should consist of 12 dishes, is a special porridge “sochivo”, consisting of boiled cereal, drizzled with honey, sprinkled with poppy seeds and nuts. You can sit down at the table only after the first star appears in the sky. Christmas (January 7) is a family holiday, when everyone gathered at one table, ate a festive treat and gave each other gifts. The 12 days after the holiday (until January 19) are called Christmastide. Previously, at this time, girls in Rus' held various gatherings with fortune telling and rituals to attract suitors.

Easter has long been considered a great holiday in Rus', which people associated with the day of general equality, forgiveness and mercy. On the eve of Easter celebrations, Russian women usually bake kulichi (festive rich Easter bread) and Easter bread, clean and decorate their homes, young people and children paint eggs, which, according to ancient legend, symbolize drops of the blood of Jesus Christ crucified on the cross. On the day of Holy Easter, smartly dressed people, meeting, say “Christ is Risen!”, answer “Truly He is Risen!”, followed by a three-time kiss and an exchange of festive Easter eggs.

Introduction

We, the younger generation, must join the national culture, because... ours today, like our past once upon a time, also creates the traditions and customs of the future. Do we, the modern generation, need to know the customs that guided our distant ancestors? Yes, we need this. We must know well not only the history of the Russian state, but also the traditions and customs of the national culture; to realize, understand and actively participate in the revival of national culture, to self-realize as a person who loves his homeland, his people and everything related to folk culture, for example, Russian national customs.

Culture expresses the totality of knowledge, ideals, and spiritual experience of the people on the centuries-old path of the formation of society.Over the course of the millennia-long history of the development of the Russian people, on the basis of folk customs, an understanding of spirituality, reverence for the memory of ancestors, a sense of collectivism, love for the world and nature developed. The moral roots of the Russian people originate in ancient times. Knowledge of one's historical and cultural roots instills in a person pride in the past of his homeland, patriotism, a sense of responsibility, duty to the state and family.

Theme of this project"Russian national customs and Christmas rituals."Appeal to the spiritual values ​​of Russian culture is quite relevant in modern society. Rite, tradition, custom are a distinctive feature of an individual people. They intersect and reflect all the main aspects of life. They are a powerful means of national education and uniting the people into a single whole.

It often seems to us that the world of traditions and customs is irretrievably a thing of the past, and least of all we are inclined to carry out our grandfather’s traditions and customs.

But norms of behavior, ethics, morality of interpersonal relations can neither be produced nor imported, and the loss of traditional culture in this area turns into lack of spirituality.

Relevance The theme under consideration is that society again and again turns to its origins. The country is experiencing a spiritual upsurge, the search for lost values ​​begins, attempts to remember the past, the forgotten, and it turns out that the ritual, the custom is aimed at preserving eternal human values:

Peace in the family,

Love for one's neighbor,

Cohesion,

Moral goodness

Modesty, beauty, truth,

Patriotism.

Problem The point is that depending on how aware we are of the values ​​of our culture, how we know how to preserve them, carefully passing them on from generation to generation, the well-being of our people is determined. In this regard, my interest in the customs of the Russian people becomes clear.

Target of this work: to determine the basic customs of the Russian people and find out how much they have been preserved in the modern world.

To achieve this goal, it is necessary to complete the following tasks :

Get acquainted with Russian national customs and rituals as the most important block in the system of spiritual culture of the Russian people;

Explore modern knowledge of the customs of the Russian people among students;

Understand the role and significance of customs in the life of an ethnic group Nowadays.

Just in case - your custom.

Main part

In the life and culture of any nation there are many phenomena that are complex in their historical origin and functions. One of the most striking and revealing phenomena of this kind are folk customs and traditions. In order to understand their origins, it is necessary, first of all, to study the history of the people, their culture, come into contact with their life and way of life, and try to understand their soul and character. Any customs and traditions basically reflect the life of a particular group of people, and they arise as a result of spiritual knowledge of the surrounding reality. In other words, customs and traditions are those valuable pearls in the ocean of people’s lives that they have collected over the centuries as a result of practical and spiritual comprehension of reality. Whatever tradition or custom we take, having examined its roots, we, as a rule, come to the conclusion that it is vitally justified and that behind the form, which sometimes seems original and archaic to us, there is a living rational grain hidden. The customs and traditions of any people are their “dowry” when joining the huge family of humanity living on planet Earth. Each ethnic group enriches and improves it with its existence.

In our small project we want to touch on the customs and traditions of the Russian people. Approach the disclosure of this topic through the history of the customs of the Russian people, since the historical approach makes it possible to reveal the layers in a complex set of folk customs, find the primary basis in them, determine its material roots and its original functions.

The entire complex of customs and rituals can be divided into three groups:

Committed by the entire village or a number of settlements, the so-called rural;

Family-tribal, i.e. home or family;

Committed by an individual or for his sake or individually, i.e. individual.

There are so many customs that it is impossible to list them all. Let's touch on just a few that are also observed in our area.

Carols - an ancient Christmas ritual of glorifying the holiday of the Nativity of Christ with songs and the song itself. On the night of January 6-7 before Orthodox Christmas, people usually did not sleep: they went from house to house, treated themselves, caroled, that is, sang carols - ancient Christmas and New Year's ritual songs. In tsarist times, even kings went to their subjects to congratulate and sing carols. The caroling began with children and youth, who sang songs under the windows and received various treats for this. When going to caroling, the rich, as a rule, changed clothes - they dressed up in carnival, unusual clothes, and the poor simply turned their outer clothes inside out and put on animal masks. Now this ritual is being revived: people learn songs, dress up like in the old days, put on masks and go to their neighbors, relatives, colleagues both in cities and villages. Children especially enjoy participating in caroling, as they always receive treats for singing songs. In our village, too, children go early in the morning on January 7 and sing Carols.

Christmas fortune telling.Everyone always wants to look at least a little into the future, and Christmas time was considered the ideal time for fortune-telling - and people did. For fortune-telling, they chose “unclean” places where it was believed that evil spirits lived, which became very active during the Christmas period - non-residential and non-standard places: abandoned houses, bathhouses, barns, basements, canopies, attics, cemeteries, etc.

Fortune tellers had to take off their crosses and belts, untie all the knots on their clothes, and the girls unraveled their braids. They went to fortune telling in secret: they left the house without crossing themselves, walked silently, barefoot in just a shirt, closed their eyes and covered their face with a handkerchief so as not to be recognized. In order not to completely disappear, they took “protective” measures against evil spirits - they drew a circle around themselves with a poker and put a clay pot on their head.

The topics of fortune-telling ranged from issues of life, death and health to the offspring of livestock and the honey production of bees, but the main part of the fortune-telling was devoted to marriage issues - the girls tried to find out the most detailed information about their betrothed.

The technology of fortune telling was based on the universal belief that if certain conditions are met, “signs” of fate will be received, which, if interpreted correctly, will lift the veil of time and tell the future.

“Signs” could be anything - dreams, random sounds and words, the shape of melted wax and protein poured into water, the behavior of animals, the number and even-oddness of objects, etc.

The barking of a dog indicated from which direction the groom would arrive, the sound of an ax promised trouble and death, the music of a quick wedding, the tramp of a horse - a road; They guessed not only by random sounds and provoked them: they knocked on the barn gate, on the fence, etc. And they guessed about the character of the future husband by the behavior of cockroaches, spiders and ants.

Mummers - carolers - walked around houses in the evening and at night, specifically in order to receive ritual food from the owners and express good wishes to them in the coming year; the family's prosperity in the coming year was believed to directly depend on the degree of talent of the carolers. Modern fortune-telling is very different from ancient fortune-telling, but, nevertheless, this custom has been preserved: young girls tell fortunes by candlelight.

Modern customs. Echoes of antiquity, the Slavic roots of Russians make themselves felt in modern life. For centuries, Russians have continued to celebrate pagan holidays and believe in numerous folk signs and legends. At the same time, modern Russian culture has also preserved later traditions and customs that originated at the beginning of the 20th century.

On the occasion of the Old New Year, neighbors, relatives, children go from house to house under the guise of “sowers”, congratulate each other and wish everyone health and goodness, while throwing a handful of grain into the front corner and singing and shouting:

I sow, I sow,

Happy New Year!

To be healthy

We lived for many years!

Open the chest

Give me a piglet,

Damn it,

At least the fat wedge!

Every owner, caring about well-being and health, considers it obligatory to treat the “sowers” ​​well.

So, I became generally acquainted with the customs and traditions of not only Russians in general, but also found out what customs have been preserved and observed by our residents. The main role, of course, in preserving Russian national customs is played by the family, because children receive initial knowledge about them from their parents. And as much as parents know these customs, they pass them on to their children. Only much later do children fully assimilate the spiritual values ​​of Russian culture.

We carried out survey among students in grades 5-11, allowing them to determine what they know about customs and rituals. According to the questionnaire, we received the following results:

Only 3% do not know any folk customs and rituals. The rest named the following:

Epiphany (75%), wedding (80%), Easter (86%), Christmas (77%), Maslenitsa (82%), Trinity (43%), wedding (27%), Christmastide (29%), Christmas gifts (24%). In many families, the following customs, rituals, and holidays are observed: Easter (67%), Christmas (59%), Maslenitsa (56%), New Year (98%), name day (not birthday) (12%). Know Christmas customs (56%).

In our area, customs such as Maslenitsa (78%), Easter (70%), and Carols (32%) are observed. Students also know the customs and rituals associated with the birth of a child, such as baptism (73%), gathering guests on the occasion of the birth of a child (39%), not showing the child to strangers in the first month, because can jinx it (15%).

The results of the survey showed that the majority of students know and observe folk customs and rituals in their families and that customs and rituals have not lost their significance in the life of a modern person, despite the process of rapid transformations taking place recently in our country.

Custom is not a cage - you can’t rearrange it.

proverb

Conclusion

We must carefully preserve Russian traditions and customs of antiquity so as not to lose the connection between times and generations. For example, among them there was and remains our ancient custom of living by honest and useful labor, working not only for ourselves, but also for society, not only for money or fame, but also for the sake of victory and the revival of the Fatherland

Orthodox customs are a faith that has transformed everyday life, these are customs that reflect the main aspects of life. We saw in the example of Russian national customs, which are still revered today, that they help unite the people into a single whole.

The Orthodox customs of the people are their way of life, formed over centuries, within which the path to the correct development of natural abilities, the path to success in life, is opened to every person.

The main task of the Russian person today is to make a spiritual choice: to unite with his people in their thousand-year destiny, in their blessed Orthodox customs and traditions coming from the depths of centuries, to find a saving faith that answers all the pressing questions of life, and to forever join the historical customs and standards of life of our people.

Today, many of us understand that it is very important not to lose the spiritual values ​​of the Russian people (kindness, religiosity, patriotism, cohesion), and to contribute to their transmission to future generations by introducing them to the rich Russian national culture.

The historical customs of the Russian people are unique. Folk customs and rituals have been and remain an integral part of the spiritual culture of the people. Will we be able to preserve them and pass them on? Yes. But only if we realize that the lost values ​​are vital in the future. It is folk customs that express the soul of the people, decorate their life, give it uniqueness, and strengthen the connection between generations.

Christmas fortune telling by mirror

One of the most famous and terrible Russian Christmas fortune-telling for the betrothed. It is difficult to say exactly when to guess from the mirrors - you can sit after midnight, or late in the evening. But usually they start guessing exactly at midnight.

For fortune telling you will need a mirror, a candle and a towel. Place the mirror in front of you, next to it - a candle. Only it should illuminate a dark room. Say the spell: “Mummer, come to me for dinner,” and look in the mirror. The appearance of the groom is heralded by a slight flickering of a candle and a fogged mirror. Once this happens, quickly wipe the glass with a towel.

The groom comes up from behind and looks in the mirror. Having looked at his face, the girl should say: “Cheer out of this place.” The groom immediately disappears. If the girl does not say the required phrase, he sits down on the table and takes something out of his pocket. If a girl exclaims “out of the blue,” the item will be hers.

Scenario "What is Christmas"

A star rose in the east
Magic Star of Jesus.
Three wise men saw her
And they accepted it as a miracle.

The story of the birth of Christ in the Jewish city of Bethlehem is one of the most popular in the Christian world. It formed the basis for the annual celebration of the Nativity of Christ throughout the world!

The shepherds were the first to rush to worship the newborn Savior. At this time, the Magi from the east came with gifts to the King of Peace (magi are ancient sages). They expected that the great King of the World would soon come to earth, and a wonderful star showed them the way to Jerusalem.

The first guests of the divine baby were not kings and nobles, but simple shepherds, to whom an Angel announced the Nativity of Christ: “I proclaim to you great joy that will be to all people: for today a Savior has been born to you in the city of David, who is Christ the Lord! And here is a sign for you: you will find a Child wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger” (Luke 2:10-12).

He didn’t even have a cradle, like all children, and there was no shelter - He was born outside the city, in a cave, and was placed in a manger, where they put food for animals.

Coming to earth, He was not greeted with honor, nobility and wealth.

It is believed that the Church of the Nativity of Christ in Bethlehem stands on the spot where He was once born. This church in the 6th century. Built by Emperor Justinian on the site of another church, dedicated in 339. Helena, mother of Constantine the Great

Christmas is the main Christian holiday. The birthday of the Son of God is a day of kindness, mercy, reconciliation, a day of glorification of the Savior.

The holiday of the Nativity of Christ is of great importance for Orthodox Christians and is second in importance, perhaps, to Easter.

Orthodox believers prepare for the worthy celebration of the Nativity of Christ with a forty-day fast, known as the Rozhdestvensky or Filippov fast.

There are many rituals and customs and today we will introduce you to several of them.

Carols

The name of this Russian god is probably known to everyone, because from Christmas Eve until Veles Day, costumed carolers walked from house to house and sang special carol songs.

Russians treated the Nativity of Christ with reverence and celebrated it cheerfully, brightly and beautifully. Christ was glorified in the streets and squares. Children and adults were engaged in glorifying Christ. They went from house to house with a star (a lit candle) and songs about the birth of the Savior.

Pagan and Christian motifs are closely intertwined in caroling. Previously, Kolyada symbolized the worship of the Sun, warmth, giving fertility and joy; the sun, thunderstorms, the month were sung in carols, and wishes for a bountiful harvest were heard.

Under the influence of the church, which for a long time did not recognize Kolyada, pagan symbols were almost forced out of carols and Christian ones began to predominate.

The entire holiday of the Nativity of Christ lasts 12 days.

It is hardly possible to name other holidays as cheerful as the days of Christmas and Christmastide, which were celebrated so noisily and cheerfully in Rus'.

Fortune telling.

Russian culture is our children's
With a trembling lamp, with dear mother.
Russian culture is great
Three-piece with a bell, with a painted arc.
Russian culture is nanny's fairy tales,
The song is a lullaby, bitter to tears.
Russian culture is flushed,
In mittens, Grandfather Frost.
Russian culture is the brush of Makovsky,
Marble by Antokolsky, Lermontov and Dal,
Towers and domes, the ringing of the Moscow Kremlin,
Tchaikovsky's music is sweet sadness.
Russian culture is the distance of Nevsky
In the gray-white twilight of the northern nights,
This is the joy of Pushkin, the bitterness of Dostoevsky
And Zhukovsky’s poems are a joyful stream.
Russian culture is everything it is famous for
Since the time of Vladimir, our people have been holy.
This is our woman - a Russian beauty,
This is our girl with a pure soul.
Russian culture - our life is miserable
With eternal hopes, with castles in dreams,
Russian culture is a lot of things,
Which is not found in any country.
