learn_russianHey guys, I'm back again to pester the natives about a few facts that you wouldn't really be able to find in any encyclopedia. I was wondering if there were any folktales you guys have been told that really screams RUSSIA. My friend told me that there is the story of the Snow Queen, which I'm going to read now, but I don't think it really says RUSSIA, you know? Are there any other stories you guys can tell me about whose significance is unique to Russia?
I also need to know about the dress over there. I know its modern, but in what way? Would girls be more likely to dress conservatively or not so much, like they came out of a Christina Aguilera video? Pictures would be nice... ^_^
Third, I was wondering if you guys could recommend a single song that can represent the kind of music that is over there. I listen to tons of Russian music, so this isn't a blind question. I know that there are tons of genres, and I don't want to get into equality here lol. I just mean a song that kinda represents the music overall, or of a major icon (Even though I hate Britney, I could probably consider a song by Britney Spears to be perfect in this case).
Lastly, can anyone tell me about the major holidays/celebrations over there? I know like what dates are important and stuff through my research, but I'd really like to hear what a native thinks or does at some of these.
I made some Suvorov cookies as recommended earlier and I think they came out well. I'm ready to blow my class out of the water with my presentation ^_^. Thank you all so much for your help! It is much appreciated!
