Most Popular Sport
A lot of people were surprised when a nationwide poll revealed the most popular sport in Russia. Soccer ended up ranking first! Most people thought that it would have been figure skating or even ice hockey. Regardless, many Russians do love playing soccer. Aside from that, most people are also good at sports like gymnastics, long jump, and tennis.
Red Square
As most people know, Communism is always represented by the color red. Perhaps this is why many people think the Red Square was named after this symbol. However, this wasn’t actually the case. The Red Square was already named that even before Communism came into Russia.
