But the is a number of unofficial symbols too:
1 Bear – they say a global warming can change Russian climate, but the stereotype of a bear on Red Square will never change. The bear symbolizes the Russian policy too.
2. Matryoshka - first wooden doll with a secret. But at the same time, no one disputes: matryoshka is associated only with Russia.
3. Vodka - a drink (of 40 degrees alkohol) — an indispensable element of foreign short stories about Russia. Russian vodka became legendary first "there", and only then "here in Russia". Honey Braga and other local alcohol drinks could not compete with it.
4. Hat with-ear-flaps is seriously believed that the "hat ears" as it is written in foreign guidebooks, they say the Russians treat it as the Scots treat their kilts.
5. Samovar - an enormous size kettle with a tube in the twenty-first century is not separated from the Russian way of life.
6. Balalaika -"All Russians play the balalaika" these words correspond to the foreign notions of musical taste in Russia. It is pointless to argue, because they think that today even rock-n-roll is played on the Russian balalaika.
7. Spasskaya tower is an architectural symbol of Russia — it is a synonym of Supreme power, and a reminder of popular superstitions: With the first chiming it is customary to make a wish, with the last - to celebrate the New year.
8. The birch tree - actually grows everywhere. But only in our history birch is a lyrical hero in poetry and prose, a bath broom, and dance ensemble — a symbol of advanced Soviet art.
9. Troika - "Bird-Troika — Rus" is taught in our school, and for foreigners it is also one of the unofficial symbols of Russia.
Объяснение:
Fashion is something we deal with everyday. Even people who say they don't care what they wear choose clothes every morning that say a lot about them and how they feel that day.
One certain thing in the fashion world is change. We are constantly being bombarded with new fashion ideas from music, videos, books, and television. Movies also have a big impact on what people wear. Ray-Ban sold more sunglasses after the movie Men In Black. Sometimes a trend is world-wide. Back in the 1950s, teenagers everywhere dressed like Elvis Presley.
Fashion is revealing. Clothes reveal what groups people are in. In high school, groups have names: "goths, skaters, preps, herbs." Styles show who you are, but they also create stereotypes and distance between groups. For instance, a businessman might look at a boy with green hair and multiple piercings as a freak and outsider. But to another person, the boy is a strict conformist. He dresses a certain way to deliver the message of rebellion and separation, but within that group, the look is uniform. Acceptance or rejection of a style is a reaction to the society we live in. Fashion is a language which tells a story about the person who wears it. "Clothes create a wordless means of communication that we all understand," according to Katherine Hamnett, a top British fashion designer.
Fashion is big business. More people are involved in the buying, selling and production of clothing than any other business in the world. Everyday, millions of workers design, sew, glue, dye, and transport clothing to stores. Ads on buses, billboards and magazines give us ideas about what to wear, consciously, or subconsciously. Clothing can be used as a political weapon. In nineteenth century England, laws prohibited people from wearing clothes produced in France. During twentieth century communist revolutions, uniforms were used to abolish class and race distinctions.
