[한국어 정보]
자연 속에 있는 그림 같은 외딴집, 이곳은 ‘다차’라고 하는 집과 텃밭이 딸린 주말 농장이자 별장이다. 러시아 도시인의 약 70%가 다차를 소유하고 있는데, 내가 초대받은 이곳은 수영장까지 딸린 러시아 최고 부유층의 다차라고 해서 아주 기대가 됐다. “여기가 러시아인들의 다차(별장)예요. 여기서 쉬고 샤슬릭(러시아의 전통 꼬치구이)을 만들어 먹고 그러지요. 주인은 여기서 자식들과 친구들과 휴식을 즐기지요. 러시아인들은 이렇게 살아요.” 통나무로 만든 대저택의 위용을 드러내는 화려한 다차! “아, 이건 샴푸라라는 거예요. 꼬치구이 샤슬릭을 만들 때 쓰는 쇠꼬챙이죠. 그리고 여기 돌로 된 벽난로지요. 러시아인들은 벽난로를 아주 좋아해서 이 옆에서 많이 쉬어요. 이 돌로 된 벽난로가 없으면 러시아 집이 아니에요.” 사냥을 즐기는 호방한 민족답게 야생 동물 박제가 곳곳에 있다. 수집을 좋아하는 러시아인이라, 전쟁 때 쓰던 총도 그대로 간직하고 있다. 2층만 해도 방이 4개나 되는 초호화 다차! 다차를 사랑하는 러시아에선 다차 외교, 다차 정치 등 다차가 일상이자 문화가 됐다고 한다. 저만치 사색을 즐길 수 있는 개인 산책로까지 갖췄다니 다차를 아끼는 마음이 전해진다. “아주 오래전부터 ‘다차’라는 별장문화가 있었어요. 원래 러시아인들은 오두막에 살았기에 여기저기 다 오두막이었어요. 그렇다 보니 러시아인들은 나무와 자신의 작은 안식처를 좋아하지요. 거기서부터 이런 문화가 나와 다차를 아주 좋아하지요. 다차 없이는 안돼요.” 척박하고 드넓은 땅을 개간하고 관리할 때 꼭 필요했던 다차는 1970년대 말, 러시아가 국민들에게 1인당 600㎡의 땅을 무상으로 분배하면서 러시아인들의 삶 깊숙이 자리 잡게 됐다. 주말농장 다차는 러시아도시민들의 안식처이자 마음의 고향. 러시아 최고 수준을 자랑하는 이곳 다차에서 나는 작은 맹수를 소개받았다. 처음 보는 희한한 녀석이다. “이건 아프리카 야생 고양이에요.” 아프리카 야생고양이는 일반 고양이보다 덩치가 두 배나 크다. 사람에게 잘 길들여지지 않은 이 고양이는 먹이를 주는 사람이 아니면 곁을 주지 않는다. 이 고양이들의 주식은 하루에 토종닭 한 마리! 고양이 두 마리를 키우는데 먹이 값만 일주일에 약 14만원이나 든다니, 웬만한 부자가 아니면 키우기 어려울 것 같다. “러시아 사람들은 고양이를 아주 좋아합니다. 한사람이 아니라 모든 사람들이 다 동물들을 좋아할 거예요. 순록도 좋아하고. 라마를 사려는 사람도 있어요. 동물들과 사이가 좋아요” 모닥불도 피웠겠다, 본격적인 저녁 준비에 들어가는데 나를 위해 특별히 러시아 민속음식, 꼬치구이를 마련했다고 한다. “이건 샤슬릭이라는 꼬치구이예요. 러시아사람들은 샤슬릭을 좋아한답니다. 민속음식이라 할 수 있지요.” 쇠고기, 양고기 등에 양파와 소금 후추 정도로 살짝 간해서 숯불에 굽는 샤슬릭은 러시아의 가장 대중적인 전통요리다. 샤슬릭의 냄새에 이웃집 장정들이 들이닥쳤다. 잘 구워진 샤슬릭 한 점에 러시아의 주식, 통감자로 만든 샐러드까지 이웃들과 함께하는 다차의 만찬은 소박하면서도 아주 맛났다. “러시아 사람들은 보통 손님을 맞을 때 상을 크게 차리고 술도 많이 차립니다. 함께 앉아서 노래를 부르지요. 하루 이틀 지나도 며칠이고 같이 보냅니다.”

A picturesque house in nature, this is a weekend farm and cottage with a house called 'Dacha' and a garden. About 70% of Russian urban people own multi-cars, and I was very excited to be invited to this place, which is one of the richest riches in Russia with a swimming pool. This is a Russian house. I'm going to rest here and make a shashly (a traditional Russian skewer). The owner enjoys relaxing here with his children and friends. The Russians live like this: An ornate car that reveals the majesty of a mansion made of logs! Oh, this is shampoo. It 's a sword used to make skewer chalcedony. And here is a stone fireplace. The Russians love the fireplace so much rest here. Without this stone fireplace, it's not a Russian house. I like collecting Russians, I keep the gun used in the war. Very large studded car with four rooms on the second floor only! In Russia, which loves multi-car, it is said that multi-car diplomacy and multi-politics have become commonplace and culture. It has a private walkway that allows you to enjoy the mysterious landscapes. From a very long time ago, there was a villa culture called 'Dhaka'. The Russians originally lived in the huts, so they were all huts. So, Russians like trees and their little haven. From there, this culture is very much like me. In the late 1970s, Russia had to distribute 600 square meters of land to the people free of charge, and it became deeply rooted in the lives of Russians...

SUMMARY
=======
The Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR), commonly known as the Soviet Union, was a socialist state in Eurasia that existed from 22 December 1922 to 26 December 1991. Nominally a union of multiple national Soviet republics, its government and economy were highly centralized. The country was a one-party state, governed by the Communist Party with Moscow as its capital in its largest republic, the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic (Russian SFSR). Russians dominated the Soviet regime. Other major urban centres were Leningrad, Kiev, Minsk, Alma-Ata, and Novosibirsk.
Extending across the entirety of Northern Asia and much of Eastern Europe, the Soviet Union had spanned eleven time zones and incorporated a wide range of environments and landforms. From northwest to southeast, the Soviet Union shared land borders with Norway, Finland, Poland, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Romania, Turkey, Iran, Afghanistan, China, Mongolia, and North Korea. It shared its maritime borders with Japan by the Sea of Okhotsk and the US state of Alaska across the Bering Strait. With an area of 22,402,200 square kilometres (8,649,500 sq mi), the Soviet Union was the largest country in the world by area, covering more than one-eighth of the Earth's inhabited land area, and the third most populous, with over 288 million people as of 1989, with 80% of the population living in the western, European part of the country.
The Soviet Union had its roots in the October Revolution of 1917, when the Bolsheviks led by Vladimir Lenin overthrew the Russian Provisional Government which had replaced Tsar Nicholas II during World War I. In 1922, the Soviet Union was formed by the Treaty on the Creation of the USSR which legalized the unification of the Russian, Transcaucasian, Ukrainian and Byelorussian republics that had occurred from 1918. Following Lenin's death in 1924 and a brief power struggle, Joseph Stalin came to power in the mid-1920s. Stalin committed the state's ideology to Marxism–Leninism (which he created) and constructed a command economy which led to a period of rapid industrialization and collectivization. During this period of totalitarian rule, political paranoia fermented and the late-1930s Great Purge removed Stalin's opponents within and outside of the party via arbitrary arrests and persecutions of many people, resulting in over 600,000 deaths. Suppression of political critics and forced labor were carried out by Stalin's government. In 1933, a major famine that became known as the Holodomor in Soviet Ukraine struck multiple Soviet grain-growing regions, causing the deaths of some 3 to 7 million people.In August 1939, days before the start of World War II, the Soviets signed the Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact agreeing to non-aggression with Germany, after which the two countries invaded Poland in September 1939. In June 1941, the pact collapsed as Germany turned to attack the Soviet Union, opening the largest and bloodiest theatre of war in history. Soviet war casualties accounted for the highest proportion of the conflict in the effort of acquiring the upper hand over Axis forces at intense battles such as Stalingrad and Kursk. The territories overtaken by the Red Army became satellite states of the Soviet Union and the postwar division of Europe into capitalist and communist halves would lead to increased tensions with the West, led by the United States of America.
The Cold War emerged by 1947 as the Eastern Bloc, united under the Warsaw Pact in 1955, confronted the Western Bloc, united under NATO in 1949. On 5 March 1953, Stalin died and was eventually succeeded by Nikita Khrushchev, who in 1956 denounced Stalin and began the de-Stalinization of Soviet society through the Khrushchev Thaw. The Soviet Union took an early lead in the Space Race, with the first artificial satellite and the first human spaceflight. Dissatisfied with Khrushchev's policies, the Communist Party's conservative wing led a coup d'état against Khrus ...

Rossiyskaya Federatsiya, IPA: [rɐˈsʲijskəjə fʲɪdʲɪˈratsɨjə]), is a country in Eurasia. At 17,125,200 square kilometres (6,612,100 sq mi), Russia is the largest country in the world by area, covering more than one-eighth of the Earth's inhabited land area, and the ninth most populous, with about 144.5 million people as of 2018, excluding Crimea. About 77% of the population live in the western, European part of the country. Russia's capital, Moscow, is the largest metropolitan area in Europe proper and one of the largest cities in the world; other major cities include Saint Petersburg, Novosibirsk, Yekaterinburg and Nizhny Novgorod. Extending across the entirety of Northern Asia and much of Eastern Europe, Russia spans eleven time zones and incorporates a wide range of environments and landforms. From northwest to southeast, Russia shares land borders with Norway, Finland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and Poland (both with Kaliningrad Oblast), Belarus, Ukraine, Georgia, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, China, Mongolia and North Korea. It shares maritime borders with Japan by the Sea of Okhotsk and the U.S. state of Alaska across the Bering Strait. However, Russia recognises two more countries that border it, Abkhazia and South Ossetia, both of which are internationally recognized as parts of Georgia.
The East Slavs emerged as a recognizable group in Europe between the 3rd and 8th centuries AD. Founded and ruled by a Varangian warrior elite and their descendants, the medieval state of Rus arose in the 9th century. In 988 it adopted Orthodox Christianity from the Byzantine Empire, beginning the synthesis of Byzantine and Slavic cultures that defined Russian culture for the next millennium. Rus' ultimately disintegrated into a number of smaller states; most of the Rus' lands were overrun by the Mongol invasion and became tributaries of the nomadic Golden Horde in the 13th century. The Grand Duchy of Moscow gradually reunified the surrounding Russian principalities, achieved independence from the Golden Horde. By the 18th century, the nation had greatly expanded through conquest, annexation, and exploration to become the Russian Empire, which was the third largest empire in history, stretching from Poland on the west to Alaska on th ...

SUMMARY
=======
Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin (; Russian: Влади́мир Влади́мирович Пу́тин, IPA: [vɫɐˈdʲimʲɪr vɫɐˈdʲimʲɪrəvʲɪtɕ ˈputʲɪn] (listen); born 7 October 1952) is a Russian politician and former intelligence officer serving as President of Russia since 2012, previously holding the position from 2000 until 2008. In between his presidential terms he was also the Prime Minister of Russia under his close associate Dmitry Medvedev.
Putin was born in Leningrad during the Soviet Union. He studied law at Leningrad State University, graduating in 1975. Putin was a KGB foreign intelligence officer for 16 years, rising to the rank of Lieutenant Colonel before resigning in 1991 to enter politics in Saint Petersburg. He moved to Moscow in 1996 and joined President Boris Yeltsin's administration, rising quickly through the ranks and becoming Acting President on 31 December 1999, when Yeltsin resigned.
During his first presidency, the Russian economy grew for eight straight years, and GDP measured in purchasing power increased by 72%. The growth was a result of the 2000s commodities boom, recovery from the post-Communist depression, financial crises, prudent economic and fiscal policies. In September 2011, Putin announced he would seek a third term as president. He won the March 2012 presidential election with 64% of the vote. Falling oil prices coupled with international sanctions imposed at the beginning of 2014 after Russia's annexation of Crimea and military intervention in Eastern Ukraine led to GDP shrinking by 3.7% in 2015, though the Russian economy rebounded in 2016 with 0.3% GDP growth and is officially out of the recession. Putin gained 76% of the March 2018 presidential vote and was re-elected for a six-year term that will end in 2024 ...

By the 18th century, the nation had greatly expanded through conquest, annexation, and exploration to become the Russian Empire, which was the third largest empire in history, stretching from Poland on the west to Alaska on the east.Following the Russian Revolution, the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic became the largest and leading constituent of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, the world's first constitutionally socialist state. The Soviet Union played a decisive role in the Allied victory in World War II, and emerged as a recognized superpower and rival to the United States during the Cold War. The Soviet era saw some of the most significant technological achievements of the 20th century, including the world's first human-made satellite and the launching of the first humans in space. By the end of 1990, the Soviet Union had the world's second largest economy, largest standing military in the world and the largest stockpile of weapons of mass destruction. Following the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991, twelve independent republics emerged from the USSR: Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Kyrgyzstan, Moldova, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and the Baltic states regained independence: Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania; the Russian SFSR reconstituted itself as the Russian Federation and is recognized as the continuing legal personality and a successor of the Soviet Union. It is governed as a federal semi-presidential republic.
Russia's economy ranks as the twelfth largest by nominal GDP and sixth largest by purchasing power parity in 2015. Russia's extensive mineral and energy resources are the largest such reserves in the world, making it one of the leading producers of oil and natural gas globally. The country is one of the five recognized nuclear weapons states and possesses the largest stockpile of weapons of mass destruction. Russia is a great power as well as a regional power and has b ...
