1. Life
Russia is a huge country so, of course, the way of life can be very different depending on where people live.
A quarter of the population of Russia, about 40 million people, live in villages. Russiatasks size means village life has hardly changed in centuries and is still very traditional, although quite hard. Peopletasks livelihoods depend on crops and livestock. They must work in the fields and tend to their animals. The summer harvest has to last through the winter and often the only way for people to make money is to sell their produce at the market in the nearest town or city. However, the isolation and simplicity that makes viilage life difficult is also what makes it wonderful. There are no factories or traffic, only fresh air, clear streams and beautiful forests.
LIFE ON THE BLACK SEA
The best stretch of coastline in Russia is in the south¬east on the coast of the Black Sea. This is where many Russians go for their summer holidays. It is a densely populated area and the people who live there make their living from the tourists who come for their holidays between May and October. Every house has rooms to rent and the streets and beaches are crowded with people selling all sorts of souvenirs and refreshments. There are also many different types of water sports available.
LIFE IN THE NORTH
In the far north of Russia, conditions are harsh and life is very difficult. This is where you will find large oil fields and mining operations. Big companies attract people to work and live there by giving them high salaries and free housing. Even so, many people leave after a short time because they cannot cope with the freezing cold conditions and temperatures as low as - 50°.
