Text 1. The Russian Federation
Russia stretches over a vast expanse of Eastern Europe and northern Asia.
It is the world’s largest country. In the west Russia borders on Finland, Estonia,
Latvia, Lithuania, Belarus, Ukraine, and Poland through Kaliningrad province. In the
south our country borders on Georgia, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Mongolia, China,
and North Korea.
Russia is washed by twelve seas and three oceans. It confronts the Baltic
Sea in the west. The Black, Caspian, and Azov Seas wash Russia in the south. The
Arctic Ocean and conjoined seas such as the White, Barents, Kara, Laptev,
East-Siberian Seas are in the north. The Pacific Ocean and conjoined seas
including the Bering, Okhotsk, and Japanese Seas wash Russia in the east.
Russia’s main regions are the Russian (or East European) Plain, the Ural
Mountains, the West Siberian Plain, the Central Siberian Plateau, and the Far East.
The Russian Plain takes up the European part of Russia. There are low,
rolling uplands and broad rivers there. In the north the relief of the plain is scattered
with lakes and swamps. In the southern part of the plain the river basins are cut by
valleys and ravines. In the south, the Russian Plain is edged by the Caucasus
Mountains between the Black and Caspian seas. The Urals form the eastern
boundary of the Russian Plain. It is held that the Urals separate Europe from Asia.
The Urals stretch for about 2,100 km from north to south. The highest peak, Mount
Narodnaya, reaches 1,895 m, and other mountain tops range from 900 to 1,500 m.
The West Siberian Plain merges in the east with the Central Siberian Plateau. The
easternmost part of Russia is bounded by various mountain chains. The Far East of
Russia includes the Kamchatka and Chukchi peninsulas and the Kuril and Sakhalin
Islands.
The most important rivers in the European part of Russia are the Don and
the Volga. The Volga River, which flows in the Caspian Sea, is of great historic,
economic, and cultural importance to Russia. It has become the cradle of such an-
49
cient Russian cities as Vladimir, Tver, Yaroslavl, Kazan, Nizhny Novgorod. In the
West Siberia the greatest rivers are the Ob and Yenisey. They flow along the most
extensive lowland in the world. The Yenisey flows into the Kara Sea.
In Russia there are about 3,000,000 beautiful lakes. The Baikal is thedeepest
lake in the world. Other important lakes are the Ladoga Lake and Onega Lake.
Russia ranks sixth in the world in the size of its population. The great majority of the population of Russia is Russians. Russia is inhabited by sixty other nationalities. The population of Russia is unequally distributed. The bulk of the people live
in the European part of the country.
There are various types of climate on the territory of Russia. Continental
climate, with cold winters and mild or warm summers prevails. The harshness of the
Russian climate limits the amount of arable land to about one -seventh of the
total area.
Different latitudinal climatic regimes are mirrored in Russia’s flora. Treeless
tundra with mosses and grasses extends along the entire Arctic coast. In the south it
gives way to taiga. This coniferous forest growing on swampy ground covers more
than half of the country. In European Russia, towards the south the taiga is replaced
by a zone of mixed coniferous and deciduous forest which in the south transfers into
mixed forest-steppe and finally into the almost treeless, grass-covered steppe.
Russia has the richest deposits of mineral resources in the world. It is one of
the world’s biggest producers of coal, oil, and natural gas, as well as of iron, copper, zinc, lead, nickel, aluminum, and tin.
The development of the Russian economy is determined by its natural
resources. Russia’s heavy industries are well-developed. They produce much of the
nation’s steel and most of its heavy machinery, such as steam boilers,
grain-harvesting combines, automobiles, locomotives, and machine tools. Russia’s
chemical industry is also well-developed. Light industry is not so highly-developed
and centers mainly on the production of textiles.
The Russian Federation was set up by the Constitution of 1993. After its destruction the Soviet Union was broken up into independent Russia and 14 other
new, sovereign nations.
Under the Constitution of 1993 Russia is a Presidential Republic. It is headed
by the President who is elected for a four-year term. The President is commanderin-chief of the armed forces, he makes treaties, and enforces laws, appoints the
