We live in Russia.
Our flag is white, blue and red.
Our capital is Moscow
In Moscow, there are many gardens and parks.
One of them is the beautiful zoological garden.
In it live animals from all over the world:
From small birds like the hummingbird
until big and strong ones like:
The Amur tiger
Russia is bordered by 16 countries,
And our border is one and a half times longer, Than the equator of the Earth.
In the east, the long river Amur forms the border between Russia and China.
Since ancient time live here the Nanai
They are hunters and fishermen.
From childhood on, they frequent the Taiga to hunt
and catch all kind of animals.
In the region live the Amur tiger and the Leopard
Now a very rare animals, registered in the Red Book*. *List of rare and endangered species in Russia.
In ancient times the Nanaï had to defend their land from invaders
like the militant Mansjoers
From these times some wonderful stories have remained
Together those stories are
A mountain of Gems
A man who falls asleep in a beast cave, wakes up a beast: A Folk believe.
To every rule there is an exception: A Folk wisdom
HEART OF A BEAST
Based on Amur Folk-tales
A long time ago, in the land of Amur, there lived a Nanai hunter named Udaga.
He was lucky and nimble. He never hunted more then needed and never hurt people.
One upon a time Udaga spent many days hunting in the Taiga forest.
And thought a lot about his home village.
The old shaman and his granddaughter: Chilchenai
Chilchenai and Udagai loved each other ever since they were kids.
He also thought of his little brother,
and how Chilchenai gave him his good luck charm.
Udaga missed everybody so much,
that he decided to return to his village as soon as possible.
And the old shaman told Udaga everything that took place in the village
This is the story of Udaga
Ever since, they say here, in the land of Amur:
If you have a brave heart and defend the weak,
you will gain the strength of a bear and the agility of a tiger.
