STEP 3. Russia can't be understood with the intellect.

Bow to you, dear  friends! 

     I am glad to your advancement and enjoy reading your questions about national holidays of our country and answering them. You have presented very entertaining facts.
But now let's start the 3d step.

     Speaking about Russia,   I would like to begin with such lines:

 You can't know Russia only with your mind, 

Can't measure her by kilometer: 

Russia is the only one of her kind 

To know her you must believe in her.

    As you know, these are well-known words of a famous Russian poet F.Tyutchev:  

Умом Россию не понять,

 Аршином общим не измерить: 

У ней особенная стать — 

В Россию можно только верить.
