I am from Russia. And it has a huge historical background :) i am proud of our culture, literature and music, composers like Tchaykovsky, Stravinsky, writers like Pushkin, Chehov, Distoevsky, Tolstoy. Russia is a very big country, and there are beautiful nature in different parts of country. You can find white snowy places in the north and sunny warm places in the south with mountains and sea.
