My homeland - Russia, a strong, independent, multicultural and welcoming country. On its territory one happy family there live people of different nationalities. They go to each other's homes, bring meals, share the recipes of national dishes , congratulate each other on holidays and give gifts. I'm Russian, but I respect the culture and religion of other nationalities. Since childhood I was taught to respect the history and identity of other peoples living on the territory of our country. Russia is the mother, and different people - her children. I think that she, as mother, is kind, caring and strict.
