well, first of all, Russia is cold. that’s why it has a low population. some major cities are Moscow and the Siberian region, even though it is an awful place to live. as for government, they have capitalism. however, the government is very weak even after being controled by the soviet union under communism. they are also very behind in terms if modernization. hope this helps!

To the previous answerer: Russia is huge, so it's cold, but only in the northern region. There are places, like Sochi where it's hot.
To answer your questions:
Russia has a Republican type of government;
The economy right now is also a little harsh, like it is here right now;
Youth likes Russian pop, Russian rap / hip/hop, and Russian R&B mostly; to name a few: Серёга, Максим, Женя Отрадная, Тимати, Иракли, Дидюля, Жанна Фриске, Араш, Ранетки, etc…
Big cities: Moscov, St.Petersburg, Ekaterinburg, Voronezh, Tula, etc…
The culture: they also have a lot of immigrants from the countries that previously belonged to the Union, but mostly their religion is Christianity, they have great tasting food, very different from here, as well as American fast food chains like McDonalds, and such. They are more fashionable than American women, and they always prepare(make-up,style hair) before they go out. It's rarely seen that a Russian woman goes to a store or anywhere in sneakers, it's usually heels. Of course Russians like to drink, and to celebrate:)
