1. Handdruk:<\/strong>\u00a0Russen schudden nooit handen in een deuropening omdat ze denken dat dit tot onenigheid of ruzie zal leiden<\/p>\n

2. 12 dagen te laat:<\/strong>\u00a0In 1908 kwam het Olympisch team van Rusland 12 dagen te laat aan op de Olympische Spelen omdat ze nog niet de Gregoriaanse kalender gebruikten (ze gebruikten de Juliaanse kalender).<\/p>\n

3. Rusland vs. Pluto:<\/strong>\u00a0Rusland is groter dan de planeet Pluto. De oppervlakte van Rusland is 17.075.200 km2, terwijl die van Pluto 16.647.940 km2 is. De oppervlakte komt overeen met ongeveer 3,3% van de totale oppervlakte van de aarde. Rusland is ook het grootste land ter wereld<\/p>\n

4. Verhouding tussen mannen en vrouwen:<\/strong>\u00a0In Rusland zijn er ongeveer 20 miljoen meer vrouwen dan mannen, wat deels te wijten is aan het feit dat Rusland een van de hoogste genderratio's ter wereld heeft (0,86 man per vrouw). Andere landen met aanzienlijk meer vrouwen dan mannen zijn onder andere: Noordelijke Marianen (0,76), Estland (0,84), Letland (0,86), Oekra\u00efne (0,86), Djibouti (0,86), Litouwen (0,89) en Armeni\u00eb (0,89).<\/p>\n

5. LGBT:<\/strong>\u00a0Sinds 2013 is het in Rusland illegaal om kinderen te vertellen dat homoseksuelen bestaan. Daarnaast worden LGBT's in het algemeen geconfronteerd met een aantal sociale, politieke en culturele uitdagingen in Rusland<\/p>\n

\"Feit:

Feit: In Rusland zijn er ongeveer 20 miljoen meer vrouwen dan mannen. De sekseverhouding is 0,86 - d.w.z. er zijn 0,86 mannen voor elke vrouw.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

6. Feodor Vasiljev:<\/strong>\u00a0Een Russische boer genaamd Feodor Vassiljev verwekte 69 kinderen bij zijn eerste vrouw: 16 tweelingen, 7 drielingen en 4 vierlingen tussen 1725 en 1765. Hij kreeg ook 18 kinderen bij zijn tweede vrouw: 6 tweelingen en 2 drielingen, waardoor hij in totaal 87 kinderen kreeg. Hiervan zouden er 82 de kindertijd hebben overleefd. Of het record waar is of niet is vandaag de dag moeilijk te achterhalen, maar het is opgenomen in het Guinness Book of Records<\/p>\n

7. De oudste plant ter wereld:<\/strong>\u00a0In 2012 slaagde een groep Russische wetenschappers erin om zaden te kweken van een 32.000 jaar oude plant. Hierdoor is de plant, Smalbladige zeekraal (lat. Silene stenophylla), nu 's werelds oudste geregenereerde plant. De zaden werden gevonden in een eekhoornhol in Siberi\u00eb en bleven bewaard dankzij de vulling van het eekhoornhol met hooi en vacht en permafrost.<\/p>\n

8. Alcohol:<\/strong>\u00a0In Rusland sterven jaarlijks meer dan 500.000 mensen door alcoholgerelateerde oorzaken<\/p>\n

9. Gedomesticeerde vossen:<\/strong>\u00a0Sinds 1959 hebben Russische wetenschappers ge\u00ebxperimenteerd met een speciaal fokprogramma waarbij ze erin geslaagd zijn om zilvervossen te temmen op ongeveer dezelfde manier als honden.<\/p>\n

10. 82 km van Noord-Amerika:<\/strong>\u00a0Rusland en Noord-Amerika liggen op hun dichtstbijzijnde punten slechts 82 km uit elkaar. Om precies te zijn, de Beringstraat, waar het meest oostelijke punt van Azi\u00eb (Cape Dezhnev, Rusland) 82 km van het meest westelijke punt van Noord-Amerika (Cape Prince of Wales, Alaska) ligt.<\/p>\n

Feit: Het klimaat en het weer vari\u00ebren sterk, afhankelijk van waar je je in Rusland bevindt. Dit komt natuurlijk door de enorme omvang van het land, maar ook door de geografie.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
