			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin was born October, 7, 1952, in Lenigrad, Russia, which is now St. Petersburg.  In the early years of the life of Vladimir, he and his parents lived in a communal home with two other families.  Vladimir Putin was the only child.  It is said that his mother had Vladimir secretly baptized at the Orthodox church.  She passed away in 1998.  Vladimir Putin continues to be a practicing Christian to date.  Vladimir also took martial arts classes as a child, where he specialized in the sambo technique.  One of the academic interests of Vladimir Putin while in high school was chemistry.  He later gained a particular interest in biology and the liberal arts.  His high school years also consisted of being a DJ at the school radio station, in which he had a special focus in the tunes of the Western rock bands.  Vladimir Putin had attended Lenigrad State University.  It was there that he had also excelled with his martial arts.  Vladimir was the university&#8217;s champion of judo during his time on campus in the early 1970s.  Vladimir went on to earn his doctorate degree in economics.  His father once worked at a metal factory, and was a war veteran.  His father passed away in 1999.  This was a significant time in the life of Vladimir Putin because this was also the time in which he was appointed as the Prime Minister of Russia.  </p>
<p>Vladimir Putin served as the President of the Russian Federation in 2000.  This came after being appointed by Boris Yeltsin, who was elected President in 1989.  During the time of the start of Boris Yeltsin&#8217;s Presidency, Vladimir Putin had been serving in the KGB national security agency.  Vladimir had served in this position for 15 years.  It was in the year 1991 that Vladimir Putin had officially launched his career in politics.  Once the KGB was replaced in 1996 by the Kremlin, Vladimir had been sent to Moscow by then President Boris Yeltsin, to serve as a part of the Kremlin Administration, which is the current agency that represents Russia&#8217;s national security.</p>
<p>After Vladimir Putin had become the Prime Minister of Russia, soon thereafter, Vladimir took on the role as President officially in 2000.  Vladimir was then re-elected as President in 2004, and served until 2008.  Vladimir Putin is known for running the country with an iron fist.  For this, he has been highly praised by many.  Vladimir Putin is known for being able to establish a new rule of law in Russia.  He is also said to be one of the great contributors of he country&#8217;s booming economy, once again.  After Vladimir had used the previous model to appoint his successor, Dmitry Medvedev, Medvedev had appointed Vladimir to take on the role of Prime Minister, once again.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Russian culture is a deeply rooted type of culture, that dates back to the time where the makeup of the Russian community was filled with many who took on the pagan beliefs that were associated with the East Slavs.  The time was the 850s A.D.  Moving up a bit up the Russian timeline, the Russian community had developed a love and expertise in the Arts.  In today&#8217;s day and age, one of the aspects that is synonymous with Russian culture is the fact that Russian society has come to master just about every form of creative artistry.  One of the areas of Russian culture to which they are known is for the Russian contributions to classical music.  The Russians, Jewish, the Ukrainians, and the Gypsies alike, have come to add to the melodic sounds that are heard in the classical tunes of Russia.  Russian society is most well known for the folk music that they were able to create.  What makes these folk songs so important to Russian culture is the messages that even the very first folk songs exude.  And of course, this warranted the dancing that is also known to be a very characterized part of Russian culture as we know it.</p>
<p>Oh, the beauty of Russian ballet!  Russian ballet is one of the most revered forms of ballet that there is.  This form of ballet dates back to the 19th century.  It was originally performed in order to entertain the people of the Royal Court theatre.  One of the ballet dancers that was always a sight to see perform was Anna Pavlova.  She reached her prime, to be eventually named the best classical ballerina of all times in the late 19th century to the early 20th century.  Another aspect of Russian culture that is highly recognized is the strides that Russian society had taken with its earliest film efforts.  In the 21st century, popular Russian films such as Brother, House of Fools, and Night Watch had been films of interest across the globe.</p>
<p>We can not make mention of Russian culture unless we are we make mention of the magnificent architecture that is known to Russia.  Russian architecture is one of the many culture pursuits of the Russians that continues to flourish as a result of the strong traditional influences that are ever-present.  The influences come from the Old East Slavic, with a special consideration and influence of the Russian churches.  It is not at all a surprise that we come to sum up Russian culture with their influence on literature.  Some of the greatest writings, including poems, novels, and plays, which are the direct descendants of Russian culture, are still studied in an educational setting, and on the leisure times of many, to date.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As we look at the history of Russian society, we should first look to 500 BC.  This was the time in Russian history when the Scythians primarily lived in the region.  The Scythians were those that lived in Southern Russia and have been noted for the carefully crafted embroidery work that they were able to produce.  Russian history had made a shift by the 300s A.D. when the Scythians were said to be invaded by the Huns, who migrated as far as the Volga River, the Avars, who is also said to have invaded Italy, and the Ostrogoths, which was an East Germanic tribe who had a large political influence in the Roman Empire.  The history of Russian people had come to reach a pivotal moment when the Avars, the Ostrogoths, and the Huns united.  As this element of society within Russian history was forming, this was also a time in the history of Russian society where there was a large amount of trade transpiring amongst those in and around the country of Russia.  The history of Russian society had come to reach a very important point when the Slavs began to make their significant impact on Russian history.  The Slavs had united with the Vikings, one of the other key traders at this time within Russian history.</p>
<p>History of Russian society became very poignant at this time, as the Slavs and the Vikings had come together to form a kingdom within Russia, with its capital being called Novgorod.  This was the commercial center of the land of early Russian history.  Although the history of Russian society at this time was not as large in land mass as modern Russia is today, it was still a very prominent area of the Eastern world.  As Russian history further illustrated the forming of new relationships, one of the most noted moments of the history of early Russian society was when the Russians had incorporated religion in a big way.  The history of Russian society does show evidence of different religious practices being carried out, but it was in the year of 1000 A.D. that the Russian history of religion had reached a pivotal moment.  This is the year in which the history of the Russian churches were formed, both in its spiritual and architectural forms.  The Russians had decided that they would succumb to the requests of the Byzantine Empire, to whom they had favorable trade relations, and become Christians.  By late 1060 A.D., Russian history had made another dramatic development when the Russians had officially moved their capital from Novgorod to Kiev.  The history of Russian society really got under way at this point, as they began to flourish in their trade upon moving their major endeavors to the geographic area of Kiev.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Russia today is a country that encompasses the northern parts of the continents of both Europe and Asia.  Russia is a country that operates under the direction of a President and a Prime Minister.  Russia today is a federation that is made of 83 federal subjects.  Russia is the largest country in the world.  In addition to its rather large land mass of over 6,500,000 sq mi, it also has 9 different time zones.  This large land mass of the country of Russia does not come without value.  This is because Russia today is known as being the country to contain the most mineral, energy power, and forest reserves than any other country in the world.</p>
<p>Russia today has a climate that tends to be very humid in the Southern parts of the European region of Russia.  There is primarily a tundra climate in the Northern polar regions of Russia, as well as the sub arctic region near Siberia.  The arctic coast of Russia tends to vary from warm to cool.  As far as the religions that are practiced in Russia today, you will find that the primary religions are Orthodox as well as Muslim.  As for the language of the land of Russia, you will find that most Russian speak only Russian.  Nevertheless, there are over 100 languages that are spoken in Russia today.  Some of those other languages are Tartar, Ukranian, Bashir, Mordvin, Chuvash, and Chechen.</p>
<p>Russia today shares many of the same core values as it always has.  One of the values that has been consistently practiced within the traditions of those of Russia is the importance of family.  Although most immediate families of Russia are not as large in comparison to other cultures, it is not at all unlikely that several generations of family be banned together through living space.  In Russia today, as also in the past, the inhabitants of Russia are very proud of their homeland to which they come from.  In Russia Today, you will find this pride being displayed by the traditional folk songs that are still carried out to date, in addition to the unified singing of Russia&#8217;s patriotic songs.  Russia today, is a cultural force that has remained consistent with influencing the culture of the world, but also remain consistent with staying true and holding on to their very own culture as it continues to strengthen.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>One of the leading stories in Russian news is the potential freeze that the President of Russia could possibly input on adoptions to the United States.  This story hit Russian news just after it was reported that this is something that the country of Russia may be considering, after a nurse by the name of Torry Anne Hansen of Tennessee, sent her seven-year-old adoptive son on a one way flight alone, from Washington, D.C., back to Moscow, Russia.  The Russia news circuit has stated that, not only did the mother send him on a flight alone, but she sent the child with a note in his backpack, stating that she no longer wanted to parent the child.  The Russia news circuit also went on to say that the note stated that the adoptive mother continued on with the note by saying that the boy is violent and has severe psychopathic issues.  Russian news has also gone on to report that in the note, Hansen also accused the orphanage about not telling her the truth about the boys condition, referring to the fact that she believed him to be mentally unstable.  The Russia news sources said that when the boy arrived on the scene, he was greeted by a man that was hired for $200 to bring him to the Russian Science and Education Ministry Building.</p>
<p>Russian news is reporting that the reason why the child was taken from his original home was due to the fact that his mother suffered from alcohol drinking problems.  Russian news reports that it has been a year since the boy was removed from his home.  Russian news reports that the very next step for the child is to be placed in an orphanage.  In the meantime, the boy is slated to continue to undergo routine check-ups. </p>
<p>When the Russia news circuit made its announcement that there will be a potential freeze on American adoptions, this drew upon a number of different reactions.  As the Russia news sources had originally reported this, many were not surprised to see that Russia felt the need to consider doing so.  The Russian news has made previous reports in the past of instances where Russian adoptive children have had bad experiences at the hand of a few of the American adoptive parents.  Then there were those that heard this story in Russian news and felt that although the issue should be addressed for the safety of the children, this Russian adoption should not come to a freeze altogether.  Due to this strong overwhelming feeling by so many, the latest to Russia news is the fact that many are coming together to express this view.  Russia news has just reported a tremendous effort that is being led by a number of American adoption advocates and the Joint Council on International Children&#8217;s Services.  In fact, Russian news has just reported that there is a petition that has been formulated in order to express this view.  The Russia news circuit says that a huge part of the petition features statements from those who are currently expecting to adopt a child from Russia.  Although Russian news has not reported an official announcement of a freeze, this prospect has many Americans worried.  The Russia news circuit reports that there are over 3,000 Americans that currently have contracts pending to adopt a Russian child, and many just hope their dreams are not shattered.</p>
