The Russian Federation Russian Rossiyskaya Federatsiya ), or Russia Rossiya ), is a country that stretches over a vast expanse of eastern Europe and northern Asia . With an area of 17,075,400 square kilometres, it is the largest country in the world, covering almost twice the territory of either Canada China , or the United States . It ranks seventh in the world in population, following China, India , the United States, Indonesia Brazil , and Pakistan Once the preeminent republic of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR), Russia has been an independent country since the dissolution of the union in December . Under the Soviet system it was called the Russian Soviet Federated Socialist Republic (RSFSR). Most of the area, population, and industrial production of the Soviet Union , then one of the world's two superpowers , lay in Russia. Consequently, with the breakup of the USSR, Russia was again vying for an influential role on the world stage. This influence is notable, but is still far from that of the former Soviet Union.

In the Beginning Was the Word The Russian Church and Native Alaskan Cultures WARNING The text and images in this exhibit are for the personal use of students, scholars, and the public. Any commercial use or publication of them is strictly prohibited. The coming together of a renowned scholar and a rich, but relatively unknown and unused archive of historically significant documents is a rare phenomenon. Last winter the Librarian of Congress, Dr. James H. Billington, asked Dr. Vyacheslav Ivanov, one of the foremost linguists of our day, to review and evaluate the Alaskan Russian Church Archives, and to select some items for an exhibition. This installation is the direct result of that encounter, and it offers a rare opportunity to witness the insights that such an exchange can produce. In the space of little more than a month, Dr. Ivanov scoured hundreds of documents in the Archive, probing deeply for the vital, historical truths that lay within them. The results of that remarkably intense experience were an evaluative essay written by Dr. Ivanov about the Archive; an oral presentation of his findings and observations, shared with Dr. Billington and interested Library staff; and this exhibition based on objects Dr. Ivanov selected and commented upon while reviewing them, day after day, in the Manuscript Division, whose staff generously provided a room and brought forth box after box of documents. In confronting these documents, mostly written in Russian but some in the Alaskan Native languages of Aleut, Eskimo, and Tlingit, Dr. Ivanov has resuscitated the vibrant, incredibly moving human exchanges that took place between the priests of the Russian Orthodox Church in Alaska and Native Alaskans, during the years 1794 to about 1915. These remarkable priests, intrepid heroes such as the Russian "giant" Ioann Veniaminov and the Creole Iakov Netsvetov, were not merely essential to the success of the colony established by the Russian American Company in 1784, they were also the agents through which much of the culture and languages of Native Alaskans were preserved. Only in recent years has the magnitude of their achievement been recognized and most appropriately during this 200th anniversary of the founding of the first Orthodox mission in North America in 1794.

Contexts Geography Northern Passage Before the creation of the Suez Canal (completed in 1869) and the Panama Canal (begun 1882, completed 1914), navigation between the hemispheres was a complicated process, involving lengthy trips around the Cape of Good Hope in South Africa or the Cape of Horn in South America, both notoriously difficult to navigate. Explorers turned their attention to the north, in the hopes of finding a means of sailing from the Atlantic to the Pacific. Two major paths, a Northeast Passage and a Northwest Passage, were sought for centuries, with minimal success. Northeast Passage The searches for a Northeast Passage one from the north of Scandinavia, into the Arctic Basin, and along the north coast of Asia began in the late sixteenth century. In 1596, fifteen Dutch sailors, led by Jacob van Heemskerck and Willem Barents, tried to complete the Northeast Passage, only to be trapped in June near the northcape of Novaya Zemlya . The sailors were trapped there for months in an ad-hoc dwelling built from driftwood they called Het Behouden Huys (the Saved House; the site was discovered in 1871). Their ordeal was described in print by one of the sailors, Gerrit de Veer, in 1598.

Word Processing Introduction Russian is the most important of the Slavic languages and now one of the major languages of the world. The emergence of the Soviet Union in the postwar period as a major world power, coupled with tmpressive achievements in science and technology, has significantly increased the interest in and the study of Russian in recent years. With English, French, Spanish, Chinese, and Arabic, Russian is one of the six official languages of the United Nations. Russian is written in the Cyrillic alphabet, whose origin dates from the 9th century. Its creators were two missionaries from Greece, the brothers Cyril and Methodius, who based it largely on the Greek. Though appearing formidable to one who has never studied it, the Russian alphabet is not difficult to learn. A number of letters are written and pronounced approximately as in English ( A, K, M, 0, T

77. Geography Of Russia These geographic facts have made for easy movement of the population in this great The russian coastline is the longest in the world but it has limited utility http://mars.acnet.wnec.edu/~grempel/courses/russia/lectures/02geography.html

THE GEOGRAPHY OF RUSSIA A geography provides the stage upon which the history of man is played. Geographic factors have always strongly influenced the development of nations and civilizations. They have frequently also contributed to their decline and fall. In earlier times geographic location helped certain societies to grow rapidly and become powerful. In our day the stubborn facts of geography may yet cause viable nations to decline and disintegrate. The formerly abundant natural resources are running out, overpopulation, reckless abuse of the land, pollution in all of its putrid varieties are putting the survival of humanity in jeopardy. There are those who predict massive starvation within a century unless new supplies of food are found and exploited. Traditionally geography has been a primary motive for war and conquest. The good earth has been abused too long and is now threatening to take vengeance on the human animal. In early times closeness to the sea helped the Phoenicians, Athenians, Romans, Portuguese, Spaniards, Dutch, English and Japanese to use it as a system of defense, avenue of communication and source of food. Today all nations may have to resort to the sea again for food to supplement the existing diminishing resources. Continental peoples like the Indians, Chinese and to some extent the Russians have turned away from the sea. Rivers may serve as boundaries or as highways. The Rhine and Danube did the former for the Romans, the Ohio, Mississippi and Missouri did the latter for the Americans. Rivers can also be means of irrigation. The Nile, Yangtze and Jordan are examples. The Syr Darya is doing the same for the Russians in the Tadjikistan and Uzbekistan desserts. Climates can be stimulating in the temperate zones and enervating in the tropics. Few people take long afternoon siestas in North America, Northern Europe or Russia. Good or bad soil, adequate or inadequate rainfall affect both the spirit and technology of a people.
