Russian's places and
people
First, this chapter starts out
by asking us questions like:
How would
you like to rent an Russian military helicopter to go sightseeing, or explore
the controls of an abandoned Russian army tank,or ride a cog railway up
a steep hill to watch ships in a crowded harbor?
This is all posible in Vladivostok,Russia's major ports opening on the
Pacific Ocean.Then for 45years Russian's would not let foreners come and
visit other people they wanted to see.
Lesson 1
Russia And Neighborng Lands
Russiais twice the size of china and U.S.A.The Urail Mtns.run more
than 2,000 miles (3,220km) from near Russian's northern
Russia-unlike
other regions of Europe, which contains a variety fo landforms in a small
area ,Russia's landcape is unchanging for thousands of miles.
The Russian
world for plains is steppes. The steppes extending from Russia's Western
border to the Ural Mtns. are part of the Northern European plains.
So Russian world of plains is steppes.
