Russia is a great country, the country, where many famous writers, poets, painters, composers lived and created. Russian soul is a secret for the majority of foreigners. If you want to know Russia, you should know about Russian art. It's like a mirror reflects all aspects of Russian life. Of course, you should read a lot, you should listen to Russian classic music, and watch pictures of Russian painters. I know, that to do all this is very difficult to a foreigner. And the most difficult question is "What to begin with?". I think, it's better to start with general knowledge about Russian famous people. I can give you this general information and interesting facts about outstanding Russians in my column. I'm not saying, that reading it is enough to understand our soul, but it's a good start. Art is a key to knowledge, I suppose. Of course, that after reading some information here, you can choose the most interesting and approachable things for you. And then study what you really want.
