According to the 2010 census, over 200,000 Tajiks live in Russia. Most of them are in Moscow and large Russian cities. Even among urban life in Russia, Tajiks strive to preserve the foundations of their culture. It is noticeable at least in clothes: the national costume of Tajiks in our time has certainly undergone changes, but skullcaps, bloomers and shirts of various colors are still loved by these people, and even by young people. Tajiks successfully combine traditional jewelry with modern ones. Women wear necklaces, pendants, earrings and rings - silver, a little massive. At different times, Tajik men also wore jewelry, but today this is not accepted. But among them, Tajik national sports remain popular: kushti - a kind of wrestling, chovgan - an equestrian sports team game reminiscent of polo, and buzkashi - goat-fighting (riders fight for a goat carcass). Tajiks also carefully preserve folk myths. People from different regions brought their art forms and subjects to Russia, and this diversity speaks of the richness of Tajik culture. Puppet shows, plays, epics and dances have been preserved since ancient times and today remain a popular part of the cultural traditions of Tajiks in Russia.

🇬🇧 Over the long years of Baikal's existence, everything around it has been covered with a mystical atmosphere. For example, the name of a lake. According to the legends of the Boar Buryats, in ancient times there was a plain on the site of the reservoir. And one day a crack appeared in the earth with fire burning in it. Excited people exclaimed "Bai, gal", which translated as "fire, go away." Baikal itself is called by the locals not a lake, but a sea - for its riches. It is inhabited by 2635 species of plants and animals, 1000 of which are unique and are found only on Baikal. The mystical atmosphere led to the idea of the lake as a living being. According to one ancient legend, Baikal used to be a hero who had 336 sons (that's how many rivers flow into the lake) and one daughter - Angara. Baikal decided to marry her to a neighbor of Irkut, and she wanted to be with the handsome Yenisei. Angara deceived her father, broke through the mountain range and escaped from the lake. The nature around Baikal is also surrounded by myths. So, according to legend, those who settled on Cape Ryty died early. Therefore, today this place is uninhabited.
🇷🇺 4 сентября - день Байкала, самого большого озера в мире. За годы его существования мистической атмосферой покрылось всё вокруг него. Говорят, в древности здесь была равнина. Однажды в земле появилась трещина с пылающим огнём. Взволнованные люди воскликнули «Бай, гал», что переводилось как «огонь, уходи». Сам Байкал местные жители называют не озером, а морем — за его богатства. В нём обитает 2635 видов растений и животных, 1000 из которых встречаются только на Байкале.
Мистическая атмосфера привела к представлению об озере как о живом существе.  По древней легенде, раньше Байкал был богатырём, который имел 336 сыновей (именно столько рек впадает в озеро) и одну дочь – Ангару. Байкал решил выдать её замуж за соседа Иркута, а она хотела быть вместе с красавцем Енисеем. Ангара обманула отца, пробила горный хребет и вырвалась из озера. Мифами окружена и природа вокруг Байкала. Так, по легендам, те, кто селился на мысе Рытый, рано умирали. Поэтому в наши дни — это место необитаемо.
