Meet the Stunning FIFA World Cup Fans Putting the ‘Beautiful’ in “Beautiful Game”

Russia

When a FIFA World Cup is going on, and Russia is qualified, all Russian citizens unite to support one single team. However, Russia is a surprisingly multicultural country that’s home to more than 200 ethnic groups and nationalities. Contrary to popular opinion, there’s not just one type of Russian people.

According to Cultural Atlas, the majority of Russians are either of Slavic, Mongol, and Turkic origin. Other prominent ethnic minorities include the Chechens, the Ukrainians, the Chuvash, and the Tatars. Russia’s multiculturality is partly explained by the fact the country boasts the world’s largest one-nation territory, covering more than 6.6 million square miles.
