The word "Russia" comes from the name "Ross" of an ancient Eastern Slavic tribe in Europe. The ancestors of the Russian nation originally lived in Eastern Europe and were called "Willitan" by Roman historians in the first century A.D. ... They lived on the Vistula River and the southern bank of the Baltic Sea and engaged in agriculture and animal husbandry. /kloc-in the 0 th century, Oleg, the Grand Duke of Ross, took control of the tribes around Kiev. /kloc-In the 3rd century, Russia in Kiev was annexed by the Mongols and belonged to the Golden Horde established by the Mongols.

During the reign of Yuan Wenzong, 10,000 Russian soldiers were recruited from the Golden Horde to serve in Beijing, and they were given land to cultivate. This is the earliest record of a large number of Russians entering China in history. They are called Semu people in China's history books. From the beginning of14th century, the Russians broke away from the Gulos tribe and established a centralized state with Moscow as the center at the end of15th century16th century.

As far as racial classification is concerned, Russians belong to Europe. The human body is characterized by white skin, brown or blue eyes, high nose, thin lips, soft yellow hair, tall figure, and moderately developed hair of the third kind. Due to intermarriage with neighboring ethnic groups, the Russians in China gradually changed their physique and showed the characteristics of yellow race.

As early as the18th century, Russians from China immigrated from Russia. /kloc-In the late 8th century, a large number of Russians moved to China because they could not bear the cruel rule of czarist Russia. Especially in the late19th century and around the October Revolution in Russia, more Russians poured into the north and northeast of China from Siberia and other places.

After the October Revolution in Russia, some people came to China to escape the war.

At that time, they were called "naturalized families" and the village where they lived together was called "naturalized village". After the founding of People's Republic of China (PRC), they became Russians and were recognized as ethnic minorities in China, enjoying equal rights with all ethnic groups. The living customs, material culture and spiritual culture of Russians in China are basically the same as those of Russians in Russia. As Russians have not moved to China for a long time, many of them have their own relatives and friends in the former Soviet Union.

After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the relationship between them resumed, and many people asked to go home and reunite with their loved ones. In 1950s, China negotiated with the Soviet government and agreed to help them move home one by one. In addition, some Russians moved to Australia and Canada because they had relatives there. As a result, the Russian population in China is decreasing.

Russia is also a country that can sing and dance well. They often hold various family banquets, parties, social dances, Russian dances, Swan Lake dances, Ukrainian dances, Russian group dances, tap dances, headscarves dances, carriage dances and so on. They are beautiful and have strong national characteristics. Tap dancing is a Russian folk dance and one of the Easter dances.

In this dance, men, women and children wear leather shoes together. Accompanied by the accordion, people form a circle and hit the ground with their toes, heels or soles to make a kick.

Women wave silk while dancing, men whistle while dancing, and pianists join the dance team while pulling and dancing. The rhythm is clear and changeable, the pace is flexible and loud, and the scene is lively and enthusiastic.
