история
English meaning: History
Definition
The record and study of past events. Russia's history spans from the Kievan Rus (9th century), Mongol invasion (1237–1242), Tsarist Empire, Romanov dynasty, Russian Revolution (1917), Soviet Union (1922–1991), Cold War, and post-Soviet transition. Russia's vast territory (world's largest country at 17 million km²) and its role in WWII (losing 27 million people) shaped 20th-century history.
Example
“Россия — крупнейшая страна мира, потерявшая 27 миллионов человек во Второй мировой войне.”
In English: “Russia is the world's largest country, which lost 27 million people in World War II.”
Literary Heritage
“Линия, разделяющая добро и зло, проходит не через государства, не между классами, не между партиями — она проходит через каждое человеческое сердце.”
/Liniya, razdelyayushchaya dobro i zlo, prokhodit ne cherez gosudarstva, ne mezhdu klassami, ne mezhdu partiyami — ona prokhodit cherez kazhdoe chelovecheskoe serdtse./
“The line separating good and evil passes not through states, not between classes, nor between parties — it passes through every human heart.”
