Siberia and in Far East. On the vast territory of the country there are

different types of climate, from arctic in the north to subtropical in the

south. In the middle of the country the climate is continental. Russia has

four beautiful seasons : winter , spring , summer and autumn. They are very

different. The Russian Federation is a parliamentary republic. The Head of

State is the President. He is elected for 4 years and his powers are

limited by the Duma. At present Russia has some political and economical

problems. (The price are rising, the rate of inflation is very high, people

are losing their jobs and many factories are stopped). But I believe that

in the future the young generation of your country will sold all these

problems and they shall make “Great” Russia as strong and powerful as it

used to be.
