• Use the text to tell your English-speaking pen friend about a typical Russian izba or a historical house in your region.
• Draw or photograph some old buildings and send your pictures to us, with a short description.

A typical Russian izba is a small wooden country house with just one or two rooms. The family room is a bedroom, kitchen and living room all in one. There isn’t a bathroom, but there is usually a wooden sauna, called a banya, outside.

Inside the house, there is often a special corner with the family icon and a table for guests. In some old izbas, there is a large clay oven in the corner near the door. There are also sleeping benches above the oven, low benches along the walls, and a cupboard for dishes.
