Russian people like holidays very much, one of them is Sabantui.

This word has become very popular but few people know what it means. • Sabantui is celebrated in

villages and regions at the end of the planting season. People get together early in the morning on the steppes, many wearing folk costumes.

• Speeches are made in honor of achievements and to express hope for the future.

There are various sports contests, the most important is bare-back horse-racing for which the biggest prizes are awarded.

Ufa is the capital of Bashkortostan• Ufa, the capital of Bashkortostan, has a long history. It began as a

settlement back in 1574, when it was just a small wooden fortress surrounded by a ditch full of water called a moat. Today Ufa is the political, industrial, scientific and cultural center of Bashkortostan. The city is on the bank of the River Aghidel.

• When you arrive in Ufa by train or boat, the first thing you see is the monument to the national hero, Salavat Yulae who fought for freedom of his people.
