I'm Natalie, but you can call me Natasha – that’s how they call me at home.I come from Moscow, Russia and I would like to tell you a few things about my country.Russia is a country of vast landscapes, vibrant life, beautiful contrasts, and interesting people. Russia is often called a "bridge" between Europe and Asia, both geographically and sociologically.Moscow displays the country's contrasts at their most extreme. The ancient and modern are juxtaposed side by side in this city of 15 million inhabitants. The Russian capital has matured over a millennium into a richly layered, ever-expanding and never-sleeping metropolis.
