Then followed a concert prepared by compatriots living in Malaysia, as well as students of the school at the Embassy of Russia. The most tempestuous ovations of the audience were given to the little artists who performed the matryoshka dance.

MAGNIFICENT DECOR FOR A GRAND CELEBRATION! HAPPY NATIONAL DAY, RUSSIA!
Great blog, very informative!
ReplyDeleteI live in Russia, and yes, it's similar to our traditions, but still it's not real. I advise you to go to Russia. You can just buy train tickets (for example, here: http://russianrailtickets.com - very fast and comfortable) and see real Russia. It's different!
Australia National Day 2020 is the official national day of Australia. Celebrated annually on 26 January, it marks the anniversary of the 1788 arrival of the First Fleet of British ships at Port Jackson, New South Wales, and the raising of the Flag of Great Britain at Sydney Cove by Governor Arthur Phillip.
