"If only I could write about her, Russia," — dreamed our poets-countrymen. And they sang in their poems of the great Rus — sacred, enchanted, pure, strong, vast. "Above Russia, the sky is blue," "If I had not been born in Russia, what would I have done in life? How would I have lived?", "My faith, my conscience, my song — Russia", "I am in love with you, Russia, in love" — lines that are known to more than one generation.
