THE CHUVASH REPUBLIC
1)The Chuvash Republic (or Chuvashia) is a subject of the Russian Federation located in the central Russia. It is the homeland of the Chuvash people.
Chuvashia is located in the centre of the European part of Russia, in the heart of the Volga-Vyatka region, midway between Nizhny Novgorod and Kazan. It is bordered to the north and west by the Volga River, with the Mari El Republic to the north and Nizhny Novgorod Oblast to the west, to the south it borders on Mordovia and Ulyanovsk Oblast, to the east Tatarstan. The republic is not large, but is one of the most densely populated regions in the Russian Federation, with a total population of 1.35 million people. According to the 2002 Census, the ethnic Chuvash make up 67.7% of the republic's population. Other groups include Russians (26.5%), Tatars (2.8%), Mordvinians (1.2%), and a host of smaller groups, each accounting for less than 0.5% of the total population.
Chuvashia has an area of 18.7 thousand km2. It stretches for 190 km from north to south and for about 160 km from west to east.
2)There are deciduous woodlands on fertile black earth soils. In agriculture wheat and sugar-beet, pigs and beef cattle have become more important than the rye, oats, barley and dairy cattle which are typical of the whole area.
Chuvashia's natural resources include gypsums, sands, tripoli, clays, sapropel deposits, phosphorite and peat.
Chuvashia has a moderate continental climate. Average temperatures range from −13 °C in January to +19 °C in July.
Chuvashia is Russia's centre for hops growing and is famous throughout the country for its long history of beer brewing. It is also a major centre for electrical engineering, especially in the area of power transmission and control systems. Other leading industries are metalworking, electricity generation and chemical manufacturing. There are also large timber-working mills at Shumerlya.
3)The transport network in Chuvashia is one of the most developed in Russia. The republic's system of roads, railroads, waterways and airports closely ties the region with others in and beyond Russia. Only four roads in the Chuvash Republic are classified as important Federal Highways like the Highway M 7, the Federal road P 178, the Federal road A 151.
The railway network is highly developed, convenient and accessible year-round. Via Kanash the rail system connects the major towns in Chuvashia with the big industrial centres of Eastern Siberia, the Urals and Moscow.
The Volga River and the Sura River connect Chuvashia to the national and international water network. To the south, Volgograd, Rostov-on-Don, Astrakhan, the Caspian Sea and the Black Sea are directly reachable. To the west, the Volga River connects Cheboksary with Nizhny Novgorod, Yaroslavl, Moscow and the northern regions of Russia.
4)The international Cheboksary Airport receives both cargo and passenger aircrafts of practically all types and sizes. There are regular scheduled flights to Moscow and other destinations. Cheboksary is in a four-hour drive from Nizhny Novgorod, a city with international air connections through Lufthansa.
The republic has a fascinating cultural heritage, a result of the ethnic Chuvash presence in the region. Cultural entities include the Chuvash State Puppet Theatre and the Chuvash National Museum.
5)While Russian is the predominant business language, the Chuvash language is still spoken by many, especially in the countryside. The Chuvash language belongs to the Bulgar subgroup of the Turkic language group. In ancient times a runic system of writing was used. Now the Chuvash use a modified Cyrillic script that was adopted in 1871.
Today people living in Chuvashia are very proud of their region and take care of their capital city, Cheboksary. As a result Cheboksary is known as one of the cleanest cities in Russia. There is also a resurgence of native Chuvash pride and many people are looking back to their Chuvash roots and exploring the culture and heritage and relearning the language. Most building signs, road signs, and announcements are both in Russian and Chuvash.
6)In the republic there are five higher schools, which include Chuvash State University, Chuvash State Teacher’s Training University and the Chuvash State Agricultural Academy located in Cheboksary. These, together with 28 colleges and technical schools, are currently attended by approximately 45,000 students.
The Chuvash Republic in its present form was formed in 1992 by the first President of the Russian Federation, Boris Yeltsin. Nikolai Fyodorov was elected the first president of the Chuvash Republic in 1994. We are proud of our compatriots: Svyatoslav Fyodorov, Ivan Yakovlev, Andrian Nikolaev, Gennadiy Aigy, Olimpiada Ivanova, Anatoliy Aksakov, Nikita Bichurin, Pyotr Egorov, Valentina Egorova, Konstantin Ivanov, Mikhail Sespel, Pyotr Khuzangay, Vera Kuzmina, Nadezhda Pavlova, Elly Yuriev and others.

Its total area is over 17 million km2. The population of Russia is about 142 million people. 83 % of the population are Russians. Russia's 160 ethnic groups speak some 100 languages. Russian is the only official state language, but the Constitution gives the individual republics the right to make their native language co-official next to Russian.
2)The country is washed by 12 seas and 3 oceans: the Pacific, the Arctic and the Atlantic. It extends across the whole of Northern Asia and 40% of Europe, spanning 9 time zones and incorporating a wide range of environments and landforms. Russia has the world's largest reserves of mineral and energy resources, and is the world's largest energy superpower. It has the world's largest forest reserves and its lakes contain approximately one-quarter of the world's fresh water.
Most of Russia consists of vast stretches of plains that are predominantly steppe to the south and heavily forested to the north, with tundra along the northern coast. Russia possesses 10% of the world's arable land. Mountain ranges are found along the southern borders, such as the Caucasus (containing Mount Elbrus, which at 5,642 m is the highest point both in Russia and Europe) and the Altai (containing Mount Belukha, which at the 4,506 m is the highest point of Asian Russia); and in the eastern parts, such as the Verkhoyansk Range or the volcanoes in Kamchatka. The Ural Mountains, rich in mineral resources, form a north-south range that divides Europe and Asia. Russia has an extensive coastline of over 37,000 km along the Arctic and Pacific Oceans, as well as along the Baltic Sea, the Azov Sea, the Black and Caspian seas. Other popular natural destinations include Kamchatka with its volcanoes and geysers, Karelia with its many lakes and granite rocks, Altai with its snowy mountains and Tuva with its wild steppes.
3)There are different types of climate on the territory of the country. It is very cold in the North even in summer. The central part of the country has a mild climate: winters are cold, springs and autumns are warm or cool, summers are hot and warm. In the South the temperature is usually above zero all year round, even in winter. Summer is really hot, the climate is very favourable.

Moscow is the capital of our country that was founded in 1147. You can see many museums, art galleries, theatres, churches and monuments in our capital. People of our country are proud of the Moscow Kremlin. There are also many big beautiful cities in Russia where you can buy typical Russian souvenirs like a matryoshka doll and other handicrafts, samovars for water heating, ushanka and papaha warm hats, fur coats, hats and other stuff. Russian vodka and caviar are among the food that attracts foreigners, along with honey, blini, pelmeni, borsch and other products and dishes.

5)At the start of the 18th century Peter the Great founded the Russian Academy of Sciences and Saint Petersburg State University, and Mikhail Lomonosov founded Moscow State University that gave a great boost for development of science and innovation in Russia.
The greatest Russian successes are in the field of space technology and space exploration. Konstantin Tsiolkovsky was the father of theoretical austronautics. His works had inspired leading Soviet rocket engineers such as Sergey Korolyov, Valentin Glushko and many others that contributed to the success of the Soviet space program at early stages of the Space Race and beyond. In 1957 the first Earth-orbiting artificial satellite, Sputnik 1, was launched; in 1961 on 12 April the first human trip into space was successfully made by Yury Gagarin; and many other Soviet and Russian space exploration records ensued, including the first spacewalk performed by Alexey Leonov, the first space exploration rover Lunokhod-1 and the first space station Salyut 1. Nowadays Russia is the largest satellite launcher and the only provider of transport for space tourism services.
