Okay kiddo, Russian studies is like showing your love for a country called Russia. Do you know where Russia is on the map? It's a very big country that's far away from where we live. People who study Russia really like learning about the country and the people who live there.
They study the history, the culture, the language, and the political system of Russia. They learn about famous Russian people like Catherine the Great, Leo Tolstoy, and Dostoevsky. Some people even learn how to speak Russian so they can talk to people from Russia.
Studying Russia is important because it helps people understand more about the world and the different people who live in it. We can learn from their experiences, and sometimes we even make new friends with people from Russia. So if you like learning about different cultures and countries, maybe you will like studying Russian studies someday too!
