Cozy Sunday Recipe 🍇🍓🍒 ⠀ ☕ Kissel (Russian amazing drink) Kissel is a very strange dish.  With equal success, you can eat and drink it! But traditionally it is attributed to the drinks.  Let's see how this intricate Russian dish is prepared! 🔶 Ingredients: - any berries - 250 g; - sugar - 50 g; - cold water - 1 liter; - starch - 2 tbsp. l. ⠀ 📜 Cooking Instructions: Boil 750 ml of water in a saucepan on the stove, after boiling add berries and sugar.  Cook the resulting mixture for 10-15 minutes, covering the pan with a lid. Pour the starch into the remaining 250 ml of cold water, mix thoroughly. When the berries are boiled with sugar, strain the resulting liquid through a sieve several times, then transfer it back to the saucepan and put on the fire again. Pour in the liquid without berries water with starch. Boil kissel until thickened, continuously stirring it.  Do not allow lumps to appear! When kissel becomes thick enough, remove it from the stove and cool slightly. Done! ⠀ Russian kissel refers to hot drinks, so in order not to burn your hands, you can serve it in glasses with cup holders. And if the drink was prepared for several people as a complement to a traditional Russian dinner, then it would be appropriate to present it in painted circles on a tray! ⠀ Do you like this idea?

The manufacturing process is multistage and time-consuming. First, a gypsum mould of the future product is made. Next, liquid porcelain mass is poured into the prepared mould. After the porcelain hardens and takes the form of the mould, the firing is performed. 🐟The products are painted with cobalt with the help of a squirrel brush.

🇷🇺🤝🇨🇭 Russia is friends with the whole world: cooperation between Russia and Switzerland. ⠀ Everyone knows that good interstate relations provide a guarantee of good-neighborly relations and the absence of sanctions.  Therefore, Russia is trying to build the strongest relations with other countries. Switzerland is a rather important partner for Russian, and today we will consider their cooperation. ⠀ 📂 Let's dive into history!  For the first time, diplomatic relations between the two countries were established in 1814, and a year later, Tsar Alexander I already helped Switzerland recover from the terrible eruption of Tambor volcano. However, according to medieval chronicles as early as the 15th century, Grand Duke Ivan III had contacts with the ruling elite of Geneva.  After the 1917 revolution, relations between the powers were not violated, even if Switzerland did not recognize the Russian SFSR.  However, after the collapse of the USSR in 1991, the Swiss side decided that it was Russia that would become the best successor to the USSR. ⠀ 🤝 Аt the present time, strong trade and economic relations have been built between the two states.  Russia mainly exports precious stones, metals and products of the chemical industry, while Switzerland exports machinery and equipment, products of the chemical industry, food products and agricultural raw materials. ⠀ 😱 Despite the fairly close ties between the countries, at the highest level in the history of Russian  there was only one official visit from Russia to Switzerland - a trip by D.A.  Medvedev (at that time the President) in 2009. A decade and a half earlier, Gorbachev visited Geneva, but this trip was unofficial. ⠀ ❓ Do you think Switzerland is a good partner for Russia?  Share your opinion in the comments! 👇 ⠀ #russianpolitics #putin #switzerland  #russiaswitzerland  #politicsofrussia  #russiatoday #newsfromrussia  #russland #russiandiary #russianfederation #travelrussia #swissinstameet #swissinfluencer #swissinfluencers #russianculture  #learnrussian #studyrussian  #russianlessons #russianmemes  #ussrmemes #simonettasommaruga  #ussrmeme #communismmeme  #russiamemes #putinmemes  #swissmemes

All about Khokhloma painting 🖌 ⠀ For many people at the word "Russia" come to the mind dishes with red, black and gold patterns.  They are called "Khokhloma", and today we will tell you all about this type of painting. ⠀ Khokhloma originates in the distant XVII, on the left bank of the river Volga.  The birthplace of the pattern is considered to be a small town Koverino and Semenov.  There are two theories regarding the origin of Khokhloma.  The first says that it was created by the Old Believers expelled for their faith, according to other sources, Novgorod masters decorated their things with similar patterns even before the Old Believers were expelled in the 1640s. ⠀ Тevertheless, Khokhloma has taken root and has been a symbol of Russia for 4 centuries.  Even foreigners liked Russian painting!  At the end of the 20th century, a “floating” Khokhloma exhibition was organized, passing through Turkey, Egypt and Lebanon.  It inspired the Europeans.  So our painted products began to be sold in Warsaw and Paris. ⠀ But the real inspiration, perhaps, befell the author of the spoon-champion.  In the Semenov Museum, a 267 cm long painted Khokhloma spoon flaunts! Painted dishes are too common.  Khokhloma even decorate aircraft!  One of Aeroflot's super jets now flaunts with its painted wings.  He received this colouring in honour of the 90th anniversary of the company. ⠀ And what unusual objects would you paint with Khokhloma? Share ideas in the comments! 😉 ⠀ Fired up with the desire to surround yourself with things with this pattern?  Start with dishes and souvenirs!  On our website souvrussia.com you will find beautiful and quality products that you like. ⠀ DISHES AND SOUVENIRS WITH THE KHOKHLHOMA LIST: https://souvrussia.com/en/for-home/souvenir-items-with-khokhloma-painting ⠀  #Khokhloma #khokhlomapainting #russianinspiration #russianstyle #russland #russiandiary #russianfederation #russianart  #travelrussia #russiamylove #russianbabushka #russianculture  #learnrussian #studyrussian  #russianlessons #russianmemes  #russiansouvenir #russianvintage

🥣 How to cook Russian okroshka (Summer cold soup with fresh cucumbers, radishes, potato and kvass or yogurt in bowl for HOT SUMMER) ⠀ Okroshka is a cold soup and one of the most unusual dishes of Russian cuisine.  Today we will tell you not only about the classic version of the recipe, but also about its different variations. 🔶 Classic recipe.

Next, rub or finely chop the radishes and cucumbers. Cut the eggs and meat into small cubes. Put all the ingredients in a deep pot, pour kvass. Done! ⠀ ⏰ Preparations: 15 min Cooking time: 15 min In total: 30 min 🧑‍🍳 Other variations of the recipe ⠀ The essence of okroshka is that all its ingredients are crushed (crumble - from that came the name of the dish or in Russian language it is "kroshity") and then are poured with a liquid base.  In addition to kvass, often add kefir and ayran.  Fans of unusual tastes even use diluted vinegar or Kombucha!  Some change other traditional ingredients - for example, replace meat with boiled sausage or add chopped boiled potatoes.

🇮🇹🇷🇺Cooperation of Russia and Italy. ⠀ The history of friendship and partnership between Russia and Italy is a thing of the distant past.  Both countries have more than 500 years of cultural ties. Russian monarchs and nobles have always seen in Italy a country where they should study art.  Therefore, it was the Italian architects, sculptors and painters who were invited to decorate the palaces and improve the Russian cities. ⠀ Many buildings in Moscow and St. Petersburg were distinguished by the Italian style, which later became the "great style of the Russian Empire." The cathedrals, towers and walls of the Moscow Kremlin, built under the leadership of Italian architects in the 15th century, became a kind of symbol.  Such structures were characteristic in the architecture of Florence, Bologna and Milan. ⠀ For several centuries, the political and trade ties of the two countries have been actively expanding.  Today, Italy is one of the priority economic partners of the Russian Federation. And the “Year of Russian Culture and the Russian Language” in Italy and the “Year of the Italian Language and Italian Literature” in Russia in 2011 were vivid evidence of the strengthening of cultural ties between the states. Today, students of more than 60 Russian schools in different cities study the Italian language. ⠀ Today, relations between Russia and Italy are called friendly and partnership.  Both countries support the construction of a multipolar world, compliance with the principles of international law. In bilateral relations, there is great potential, which will necessarily affect the development of interaction in the future. ⠀ #russiaitalia #italianpolitics #politicaitaliana  #russianpolitics #putin #giuseppeconte  #presidentedelconsiglio #governoitaliano #montanelli #nazione  #linguarussa #cursodeitaliano  #russianlessons #russobrothers #russianinitaly #corrieredellasera  #giornalismo #larepubblica #giornale  #informazione #giornalista #attualità #intervista #notizie #lavoratori #corrieredellasera #notiziedelgiorno

🚌 Journey to the Birthplace of Khokhloma In almost every region of Russia, happened something important for the fate of the country.  Often the history of an event stretches across several cities at once, and in such cases, specifically for tourists, are compiled different routes along them. Today we are going to talk about a trip to the homeland of the golden Khokhloma, it's a trip to Nizhny Novgorod and Semenov. ⠀ 🗺 What are these cities famous for? The main attraction of Novgorod, of course, is the Kremlin.  The majestic building of the XVI century is the architectural landmark of the city. Frequent points for visiting tourists are the Minin and Pozharsky Square, St. Alexander Nevsky Cathedral and viewing platform. The most interesting places in Semenov are the Khokhloma Painting Factory and the Golden Khokhloma Museum.  No wonder it is called “the birthplace of the Golden Khokhloma”! ⠀ 🤓 Let's broaden your outlook with a couple of interesting facts about some of the sights. For example, the Novgorod Kremlin was attacked by enemies more than once (but their attempts were unsuccessful), and the Semenov factory "Khokhloma Painting" was one of the oldest schools of the artistic processing of wood. After the events of 1917, the Soviet government did not consider it contrary to the principles of the new society, and the masters continued to work there.  Perhaps due to this, the traditional type of painting has been preserved to this day. ❓ Did you know about this?  Write in the comments! ⠀ 🚆 Usually a trip to Russia begins in Moscow.  The fastest way to get from there to Novgorod (in about 4.30 minutes) is on the train 752A  from  station Leningradskaya.  From Novgorod to Semenov you can get by bus. ⠀ Have a nice trip! 👣 ⠀ #goldenkhokhloma #khokhloma #homelandofgoldenkhokhloma #nizhnynovgorod  #khokhlomapainting #russianhistory #factsaboutRussia #russianinspiration  #novgorodkremlin #russiantraditions #russianstyle #russland #russiandiary #russianfederation #russianart  #travelrussia #russiamylove #russianbabushka #russianinspiration  #russianculture  #learnrussian #studyrussian  #russianlessons #russianmemes http://souvrussia.com
