Remarkable Russia Poem by s.zaynab kamoonpury

Something about Russia so enthralls me
It seems so faraway, quite a recondite place to be

I'm as entranced by her history of Tsars and Czars
as much as I am by her samovars.

Her famed onion-shaped patterned multi-coloured domes
and where the spirit of communism still roams?

and first man in space Soviet Yuri Gagarin.
First woman in space too, Russian Valentina Terekshova

found in Russia, the largest country in the world
with names of U.S.S.R or Soviet Union
It shows vast on any map of the world unfurled
