D37 - Russian Federation

JUL17 - D37 - Moskva - Km4390

Russia o mes ben dit la Federacio Russa es, amb mes de 17000 quilometres quadrats el pais mes gran del planeta. Si la frontera entre Asia i Europa son els Urals, prodriem dir que es a la vegada el pais mes gran d'Europa i d'Asia. La poblacio, majoritariament concentrada a la part Europea no es massa gran en comparacio al territori que ocupa: 150 milions d'habitants aproximadament i en proces decreixent. El turisme no esta gaire desenvolupat mes enlla de Moscou i San Petersburg, l'economia gira basicament al voltant del enormes recursos energetics del pais. 15 anys despres de la desaparicio de la Unio Sovietica, Russia encara viu epoques de canvis extraordinaris. Es el 62e pais en renda per capita pero Moscu es la ciutat amb mes milionaris del planeta. Es considerat el 10e pais mes ric del mon i a la vegada un dels mes influents politicament i economica.

The Russian Federation is the biggest country in the world in extension: over 17000 square km, 11 time zones and more than 8000km from west to east. It covers almost twice as much land as the second largest country in the world (Canada). Vast country but low density, its population is around 150 million, mainly concentrated in the western part and along the transiberian train route in the south. 150 different languages, 7.9% GDP increase a year, 10.9% inflation and 8.2% unemployement. Moscow (Moskva) the capital is the biggest city with over 10 million inhabitants, in second place in St Petersburg in the north-west with 4.5 million. Many things can be said about the Russian Federation, history, literature, politics, economy, etc... but is not the point of this blog, here I will explain what I encounter during the next days: landscapes, people, impressions, stories about normal day life, etc...
