From the brave Laika, the space dog who paved the way for human space exploration, to Leonov's breathtaking painting capturing a sunrise in space. The image of Red Army soldiers raising the Soviet flag over the Reichstag in Berlin stands as a testament to their indomitable spirit during World War II.

Anton Chekhov, alongside Moscow Art Theatre group, brought Russian literature and theater to new heights with his timeless works. The strength and prowess were showcased by Aleksandr Karelin at the 1988 Seoul Olympics when he triumphantly won his first gold medal. Meanwhile, honey bees diligently buzzing on a honeycomb symbolize nature's harmony within this vast country. Dmitri Shostakovich composed masterpieces that stirred emotions deep within our souls while working tirelessly in his study back in 1938. Carl Sagan, an American astronomer inspired by Russia's vastness and mysteries of space. Even amidst icy landscapes like Champ Island glacier above the sea, we find polar bears gracefully roaming - symbols of resilience against adversity.

Lastly, a Soviet propaganda poster boldly proclaimed "We want Peace, " reflecting Russia's desire for global harmony despite political tensions.
