Fun Facts About Russia
This particular subject is close to my heart since my lineage is part Russian. It is the largest country in the world and I think that is sort of intimidating. It is certainly a country that gets discussed often. I don't know as much about it as I would like so this will help me to learn more about such a fascinating country and people.
- -We all know that vodka is huge in Russia. Did you know that 10% of the governments income comes from the sale of vodka.
- -there was royalty in russia and one in particular who survived a massacre was Anastasia
- -Czar Nicholas the Second was shot
- -the russian prince Alexei had haemophilia
Apparently Russian people think that they are the wonders of the world when it comes to the art of kissing. An opinion poll was taken with the question, "What is a real Russian kiss?"
Here are some answers:
- -long and passionate with spit or snot!
- -it makes your head spin and you makes you feel like you are falling down, and you don't have to analyze where your tongue or lips land
- -it should be strong, unexpected and from the bottom of the heart
I knew that Russian people were lovers and passionate and strong but I had no idea that they held such strong opinions on kissing?
Well now that we have covered that fun fact and somewhat strange fact lets continue with other facts:
- -Russia's official name is the Russian Federation-came into effect in 1991when the Soviet Union split into 15 geo-political parts
- -Russia is a transcontinental country covering half the northern hemisphere- That is what I call spreading out!
- -Russian Orthodox is the main religion
Along with size Russia boasts some entertainment too! There are 221 museums, 2,000 libraries and over 80 theaters. Feel like seeing a concert? Russia has 100 concert establishments. It could be Art is more your taste. Then you can visit one of 45 galleries.
Want to see a movie? No problem. There are 62 cinemas. If it is a night of dancing you are looking for you can hit one of the 80 clubs located around St. Petersburg.
Lets check out some fun facts on nature and the environment:
- -Russia's biggest lake is the Ladgoda at 18,400 sq/km
- -oil, natural gas and timber are plentiful
- -Russia has 12 seas
- -there are 100 reserves and 35 national parks
With all these fun facts it is certainly easy to get carried away with Russia and its rich history.

I Like this! I am doing a report and I got some info. about Russia! :)
russia is blue!!!!!!!
Actually, Anastasia did not survive the Romanov "massacre." The rumors came about because one set of bones was not originally found where the Soviets buried the rest of the family members' bodies. The missing bones were not Anastasia's however, but one of her sisters. They were later found.
gherat site
hey this is a great site a bout russia and u can get fact on russia and information on the website
cool
There is absolutely no way that 10% of the government's income comes from the sale of vodka. Check your sources. Do you have any idea how much oil, gas, copper, nickel, steel, gold, etc comes from Russia? LOTS! They drink plenty of vodka, but it's pretty cheap - how is the government making windfall income here? Sales Tax?
i want the fun fact ok sign
Some of your information is inaccurate and may need some work done to it....i myself am a Russian living in America and i also love my heritage very much and i feel blessed that you think we are a fascinating peopl
Why would anyone call it FUN facts about Russia?
"...Czar Nicholas the Second was shot
-the russian prince Alexei had haemophilia.."
Katya, you're not understand, this humor is very funny ;-)
As example:
"Funny facts about USA:
President Kennedy died younger than any U.S. president to date. :-D
1.1 million persons are living with HIV/AIDS in the United States, and more than 56,000 new infections occur every single year. %-p"
Vot takaya vot fignya. =)
Russia's biggest lake is the Baikal -31 722 sq/km. And it's also the dippest lake in the world.
omg there are 221 museums, 2,000 libraries and over 80 theaters in St Petersburg!!! hahah there are much more in Russia...
thr r so many thngs 2 do in russia! i wana go thr! it sounds like i would
i had to do a report on russia and this is soooo much help thank you for making this site it is a life saver!!!!!
thank u
NASHA RUSSIA! .. :D
hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
With all the respect to my fellow-hubber I would not take the facts about Russia from this hub as reliable, especially for some school reports. Just get real facts from Wikipedia or the like. Yes, tsarevich (prince) Alexei suffered from hemophilia, but what does it have to do with facts about Russia, really?
Number of theaters and museums is funny. Maybe in one town, but not in the whole Russia!
The biggest lake in Russia is Baikal (also it is the deepest, clearest and the oldest lake in the world). Lake Ladoga is considered one of the largest lakes in Europe.
There are more than 12 seas in Russia (I will count for sure later, but even by counting by memory, there are more).
Well, and as for kisses and lovemaking, c'mon, FunFackter! LOL.
where did u get that numbers? 62 cinemas and 80 theatres etc. is it for the whole of the country? i don't think so! it might be true for one of the big cities, not for the whole country =)
those numbers came from the CIA worldbook.
hey everybody! I'm from Russia =) As for the numbers, it's all about St.Petersburg only! =) I can't even suppose how many theatres and museums there are in whole Russia
Will link this hub to mine about Russian people for a while, interesting info!
Thanks i needed information for report.
The basic above stated information is a bosh! Russia very developed country, not including some backward regions.
Simply we have cities-monuments (there churches, aren't present works and people drink vodka)), and also there are developed cities. I live in Samara (On Volga) here again excellent moderate life! As well as night, and day)))
omg, this info is funny...
Russia is modern country, but some of north regions are backward because the climate in these regions get on the way for developing

Hi everyone. I'm from Russia. It's interesting that you started this article from:
''-We all know that vodka is huge in Russia. Did you know that 10% of the governments income comes from the sale of vodka.''
I'd like to say that many people in the world think about Russia that many and many people drink vodka here. But there are many people here that lead healthy lifestyle, have professions, families, learn foreign languages, etc.
Check out our group on facebook http://www.facebook.com/groups/234500386629896/ please in spare time. I write some information about Russia there, also we discuss many interesting things in this group.
