Christmas around the World; Russia. In the early 1990s, when we spoke of Russia, we meant the vast, eastern European stronghold of nations from Lithuania in the far northwest to Kyrgyzstan (Kirghiz) in the far southeast. Basil’s Cathedral When the religion-hating Soviet Union imploded in 1991, creating (or recreating) 14 countries, traditions that had been buried in the memories of an older generation sprang to life again, and all it took was the slightest breath of freedom.

International involvement is welcome because Russia clearly does not understand the importance of Greenpeace in the modern, environmental dialogue.

Russia was in the market for land and they had their eyes on the North Pole. The current internationally recognized territory owners in the Arctic Circle are Canada, the United States, Denmark, and Russia. But Russia is going further north to claim the sea floor of the North Pole as its own because none of the current territories reach that far. Russia is hoping when they meet again in 2009, they will rule differently in light of the new discovery.
