What foods are popular in Russia? 
human
Russia is a huge country, and a lot of Russia’s traditions have mixed with European traditions, but I can give you a few things to try when you go to Russia:  - borscht (a soup made with beets) - cabbage and sauerkraut (Russian sauerkraut is not at all like American sauerkraut) - black bread and kasha (which are traditional foods) - pierogi (dumplings) and vareniki (a type of dumpling) - pelmeni (meat dumplings with a delicious spicy sauce) - blini (thin pancakes with a variety of fillings) - pastry with custard filling - shashlik (a type of kebab)

Well I’m glad you found it helpful, I’m glad you’re traveling!  But if you want to get even more in-depth information, you could also look at Russia’s official tourism website here.  Do you have a specific interest in Russian food?  Can you describe that interest for me?
