Zima The Russian Winter
In certain parts of Russia, the Russian winter is especially cold and snowy, but despite the weather, winter has an interesting tradition associated with it.

Where Do Crayfish Winter?
From the time when I began to understand Russian, I became acquainted with charming Russian sayings that made me laugh more often than not. Read and ruminate about a few of my favorites.

Tsar Nicholas the Second
Tsar Nicholas the II was the last and doomed ruler of the Romanov dynasty that had ruled Russia for three centuries.

Troitsa Trinity Sunday
Troitsa or Trinity Sunday is celebrated 50 days after Easter. Churches and homes are adorned with greenery and flowers. The symbolism of the color green is that of life and it also is a grafting of the old Russian customs with the sacred.

Thunder and Elijah the Prophet
August second in the church calendar is Saint Elijah the Prophet’s day. Saint Elijah is a popular prophet and is common to the religions of Christianity, Judaism and Islam. He is known as "The Thunderer."

The Three Daughters
Read the tale of the three daughters and the squirrel. It's a good reminder of what our priorities should be.

The Russian Writer Gogol
Nikolai Gogol was born in 1809 in the Ukraine in close proximity to the village of Dikanka. Gogol had a mystical personality and he wandered for a good portion of his life. He is the author of Dead Souls.

The Russian Chicken
The hen or chicken, called the coo-ree-tza, is an ancient symbol of happiness in Russia. Hens can be found everywhere in Russia: from her folktales to folk art such as the matrioshka or nesting doll and all over the land.

The Rooster in Russian Fairytales
The rooster is one of the many animals that appears in Russian fairy tales. Read a tale about Pete the rooster and the pea pod and a nursery tale.

The Matrioshka Doll
Russia’s best known and recognizable folk craft items are the nesting dolls known as matrioshka dolls. These dolls come in a wide array of colors, sizes and motifs and represent Russia herself.
