Russia's Amazing People!

Imagine a country so big it stretches across two continents, Europe and Asia! That's Russia! It's the largest country in the whole world, bigger than a giant playground. It has cold, snowy places and also warmer spots. Many different kinds of people live here, making it a very interesting place with lots of different languages and traditions.

There are about 146 million people living in Russia! That's like filling up a super-duper large stadium with people, over and over again! Most people live in cities, but some live in smaller towns and villages. Russia is the most crowded country in Europe, which means it has more people than any other country on that continent.

Russia is like a big family with many different groups of people. Most people, almost 7 out of 10, are ethnic Russians. But there are also many other groups, like people who speak languages from nearby countries. It's like having friends from all over the world living together in one big country!

People in Russia live to be about 73 years old on average. That's like living through many, many birthdays! The grown-ups have fewer babies now than they used to, which means the country is getting a little older. It's like a classroom where most of the students are in the older grades.
