Since the beginning of time humanity has been impressed by having the biggest and best things out there and throughout our [journey] here
We've discussed and learned about many great cultures and countries that have impressive aspects and although
We still have a lot to learn and a long way to go there is one country that we have yet to look at
Russia she is a big country as a matter of fact the biggest country in the entire world [a]
Nation [that] is filled with not only people of pride
But a culture that has a rich history and future
Hey guys, what's going on?
Dave Walpole here and welcome to FTD facts that channel where we educate people on everything and everything and today
We're [gonna] look at a country that like I said [is] proud
But is also really misunderstood and for those who are just joining us for the first time
this is a channel real Arctic a lot of
Recommendations from our followers to give you an example of russian spy wanted us to do this there was also some [ud] banerjee son
Ramba Mullah and of course many more of you and for me
I've actually really wanted to do this video because well, let's be honest. I love Russian girls
They are just who I'm speaking of attraction. Let's ask
You guys the question of the day, and [that] is what are your top three favorite accents? Ooh, good one?
I know let me know your top three favorites and why down there in the comments section below?
Now what I told you that I love Russian girls
Let's talk about the girls because there's one interesting thing about Russia
And that is women outnumber
Men as a matter of fact they say that there are about [nine] million more woman two men in the entire country
Studies [have] shown that to a hundred woman there is approximately
Eighty six point eight men and the reason for this is partly due [to] the second world war
But it's not just war that makes men's population. Low. It's also alcohol
Alcohol is predominantly a major problem with deaths with young men in the country and although
52% of Russian women view alcohol as a major problem [a] 2005 studies [show] [that]
[37%] [of] Males would Die before the age of 55 due to alcohol-related deaths now
Let's get off the bad
topics and move on to some of the more positive things about Russia one thing for sure is that russia has a great population of
146 million people with over three-quarters of its population living in cities such as Moscow and the beautiful, st.
Petersburg, and so on and some people might think that with Russia's size it is the country with the smallest population density
But actually if you spread everyone out they do manage to have 21 people per square mile compared to Greenland
Which is like nothing zero now when we talk about density let's be real Russia is
Huge as I stated earlier it is the largest country in the entire world with a landmass of over 17 million
[75] thousand two hundred Square kilometers, which makes up almost the landmass of Canada and the United States combined
but with all this land it has a lot of forests and because of that russia is sometimes called the lungs of Europe and
Therefore the Russian forests are second to the Amazon rainforest [when] it comes to their trees consuming carbon dioxide
Also interesting thing about the land is it has a lot of [und] seo world heritage sites your country has over
26 of them one of the most amazing sites is the volcanoes of Kamchatka. Which is a collection of
160 Volcanoes with 29 of them being extremely active and as for the ones that are alive
They [are] considered the largest active volcanoes in the Northern hemisphere
And it is really quite an [amazing] spectacle the scientists of Russia have done some amazing accomplishments
But one thing that russian scientists have done that they can claim a hundred percent theirs is they have the oldest plant ever to be
Regenerated from the seeds from over
32,000 years ago, this is [the] Saline stent othello [and] although it was frozen in permafrost for such a long time
Scientists managed to bring this planet back to life from its fruit tissues now you're on FTD bags
We also like to talk about some of the imports and exports of these countries and russia for example has over
400 and forty nine billion dollars in
Exports and imports [two] hundred and ninety five billion dollars in goods who's the biggest export being crude petroleum?
Making Thirty five percent and refined petroleum making twenty percent and because of those numbers
They [are] the second biggest [exporter] of oil in the entire world
But their biggest imports are cars making up 5.3 percent. [you're] in Russia. You will also notice that it has beautiful
Landmarks, we're not talking just about its architecture and buildings
We're also talking about its statues
But one of the most famous is the statue of the worker and [the] Kol [Kai] woman done by Vera Machina
It is a stainless steel statue that is 80 feet high and although it is now located in Moscow
It was first introduced at the world's fair in
1937 and the Statue Alone Was A
Significant visual of the war against nazism during the second world war as the statue was placed
opposite of the German Nazi flag to show their rivalry now to talk about
Accomplishments with in this country we cannot forget about the russian space program
But what makes the space program?
Groundbreaking is it was the first program to send a man [into] space and to even orbit the [Earth] that?
cosmonaut was Yuri, Gagarin
And he launched from Earth in his vostok space capsule on April 12
1961 and because of that crowning achievement the Russian space program has become one of the most influential space programs in the world
Collaborating with scientists all over the globe now with a big country and territory comes a big army
Russia's Army comes in Fifth over the world with over 1 million people in active service and 2 million people in reserve service as of
2017 and that army costs around 69 billion dollars a year
And when it comes to military we unfortunately have [to] talk about its nuclear arsenal
maybe not one of the most proud things for our country to have but here on fTD facts we talk about the good and the
Bad but in 1988 it was reported that russia at One point had over
45,000 warheads with over
715 detonations, but however since then there's been major steps in decommissioning
These deadly warheads and Nuclear vessels, but currently right now
It is estimated that russia has over seven thousand Nuclear warheads
But moving back over to achievements of Russia the country has many of them
It's a country of [great] intelligence due to its over 600 universities and because of its great education russia has earned 27
Nobel laureates spreading across literature chemistry physics and above all peace
Yep, when you Myuca [buck] kaboom
