Welcome to Russian Politics! A site directed at learning about one of the worlds most powerful nations.

The transition from a Communist state into democracy has not been a fast, bloodless or easy journey and they can expect to struggle with the 2014 Olympic Games exposing Russia publicly once again. There is a price to pay for freedom.

Canada/ Russia World Juniors Gold Medal Game

Interesting fact: The top two hockey players in the NHL are Russian and Canadian. Alex Ovechkin (Russia) and Sidney Crosby (Canada) are the two most well liked and top point placing players currently in the NHL.
