  3. Emerging Capitalism After the Soviet Union diminished in 1991 Russia had to find a new identity for itself. The nation had problems when it came to changing from communism to a free-market economy. They had no experience in democracy and fought over power with the new laws. Comic strip about capitalism

  14. Life in Rural Siberian Villages Most of Siberia is rural, very few people live in these areas because change comes very slowly there. Many of the homes have no running water. Water has to be brought from wells but when the wells freeze people have to cook and drink melted snow. Siberian Village

  15. Life in villages continued Even with all the harsh conditions people that love there have adapted. Farmers harvest their crops before winter. The temperatures are so cold that families hang their meat outside so it freezes and doesn't spoil. In winter

  17. Uniting a Vast Nation Russia covers more the 6 million square miles. It has more the 144 million people. With this many people it is hard to keep everyone united as one because of the different ethnics, religions, and languages. All different types of groups come together in the cities of Russia.

  20. Economic Problems remain Russia still has plenty natural resources but, rely on sales of the materials to heavily this creating less chance for new jobs. If prices are low the economy suffers. However Russia is strong and if it pulls through its future should be pretty good.
