@moscow_speaks: Today, June 12, is Russia Day. There is a poem that almost every Russian knows: «Умом Россию не понять, Аршином общим не измерить: У ней особенная стать — В Россию можно только верить». These lines were written by Fyodor Tyutchev in November 1866. The poem suggests that Russia cannot be approached through stereotypes or explained by logic alone. That is why Russians often quote Tyutchev when something strange or unexpected happens. 📚 Useful vocabulary: ✔️ понять умом = to understand logically ✔️ верить = to believe ✔️ особенная стать = unique character / special nature #LearnRussian #RussianLanguage #RussianCulture #RussianForForeigners #MoscowSpeaks
