Data - Knowing Russia by J Quille

Julio Xavier Quille

Part 1

Moscow_ Victor Stolbovoy

We learn through curiosity, and that is where knowledge develops.

Today we have completely mapped the world, and we have divided it into nations, states, federations, establishing a geographical space in which people who also receive a name according to the place of birth reside.

I like to believe in a world without borders, but I must accept that these also help to understand the world, if they were just lines of learning and not lines of combat or much worse walls that divide people, they were useful.

Today each country is divided internally, according to its constitution, religious beliefs or doctrines, and it is there, where we intend to develop this research, discovering spaces

that are often eclipsed by the capitals and the main cities of each country or state .

Thanks to the Internet and the infinity of data that exists in the network, we do not have to travel presidentially to learn a little about these places, so this and the following documents will try to learn little by little the mysteries and virtues of the small parks of the world.
