National and russian cuisine

Russians love their traditional cuisine. In virtually every family, people eat traditional soups, soups with cabbage, pickles, smoked sausage and fish. Soups are also made with kvass, a Russian variety of root beer. Many families cook kashas, bake pies and pancakes, make meat dumplings, salted cabbage and mushrooms and eat rye bread.

Russians also eat cutlets (the most famous varieties are Chicken Kiev and Pozharski cutlets) and salads (such as salads with beets).

Beginning with the Soviet era, many Russian families started cooking Uzbek pilaf, Caucasian kebabs and Kazakh manty.

At the traditional Russian Pancake Week festival at Polet Camp, international students can master the art of making Russian pancakes.
