GENERAL INTRODUCTION TO RUSSIA

Note:

Russia is the worlds largest country in area. It covers a large part of both Europe and Asia. It has coastlines on the Artic Ocean, Baltic Sea, Caspian Sea, and Pacific Ocean. Russia borders eight European countries and three Asian countries, and three countries with land in both Asia and Europe. With the vast size of Russia we need to better understand its character and its people, if we are going to try to make this world one global village.

Growing up around military bases I was always in awe of the weapons of destruction that the United States possessed. But as I grew older I often questioned what kind of people we would use these weapons against. During the cold war we had thousands of nuclear weapons targeted at the Soviet Union, and they in turn had weapons targeted against us. It is this hostility that led to my interest in the Soviet Union and now Russia. If we could apply the same energy to the worlds problems that we applied to the cold war, the world would be a much better place for all.
