When one thinks of something Russian, one is inclined to think of things that are strong and virile. Russia has a rich, powerful and sometimes scandalous history that the Russian people have grown from and embraced. As Russian continues to rebuild itself after the Soviet Union dissolved, it has struggled to both embrace and rebuild its past, while attempting to forge a new future.
