Oilette Wide Wide World Life In Russia Series 9263
Life in Russia - A frequent scene on the bleak snow-covered steppes. In Russia as in most countries, the business of the country districts is centered in certain towns-market towns-and thither in company with his neighbours, the Russian farmer journeys to dispose of his produce. Company is sought for the sake of the mutual protection from the dangers of the wilds, the dreary journey being enlivened by occasional calls at wayside inns, where, in a glass of vodka the cold and dreariness of the way are forgotten.
