Regardless of how cold it gets, the streets of Russian cities in winter are reminiscent of a fur fashion catwalk, with a kaleidoscope of women in pelts of all sizes, colors and designs.

Russia might not be at the top of a millionaire's list when it comes to choosing where to reside, but more and more foreigners are moving in each year. And among those settling are CEO's of large international companies.

Moscow knows it lags behind many other capitals when it comes to taking out the trash. But a lack of recycling infrastructure is forcing environmental protection up the priority list.

Just a few years ago, the idea of a foreign spouse settling in Russia would have seemed perverse, as many locals saw an international marriage as their ticket out of the poverty and lawlessness of the post-Soviet era.

Red October – or Krasny Oktyabr in Russian – these two words strike a chord in virtually every Russian’s heart. Those sentiments have nothing to do with the country’s revolutionary past, though. It’s all about chocolate!

The Cossacks were a symbol of freedom and military excellence in Russia until they were banned by the Soviet regime. Restored after the fall of the USSR, the movement is now reviving its military and cultural traditions.

Keeping a cat or dog as a pet is nothing unusual in Russia, but for those who want a less common companion, there is a whole exotic black market for animals in Moscow.

Thousands of dollars for a hat made of sheep skin may sound like a lot - but not in Russia’s Caucasus region. Local men measure esteem by the hat, and some can't even get married without one!

Swearing in the streets: is it just something unpleasant for our ears? Or should massive amounts of money be dedicated to fighting it?
It may be nasty,but it sure is fun!It relieves stress,and it sets you free.
Swearing is uncultured and should be discouraged. In Britain standards of behaviour in the street have worsened over the years, and mainly among young people. The British now have mouths like sewers, but the older people are often shocked by it. Once, I was eating in a nice restaurant and two younger women were talking loudly about anal intercourse. I could see that an old woman nearby was hearing all this and was unhappy about it. It is unnecessary for people to be so coarse. I hope that Russia raises its game. Different if you are working on a building site and some idiot drops a hammer on your head. Then anyone would swear!
