Ahora el águila con la doble cabeza está en el escudo de armas de la Federación Rusa. El águila con la doble cabeza que ve aquí es la versión moderna; la insignia del águila con la doble cabeza que fue usado por los Zares tenía algunas diferencias leves.
Originally a Byzantine symbol, the double-headed eagle was adopted by the Russian tsars as their own. One eagle head represents the East and the other represents the West. The horseman in the middle has been described as St. George. The orb and scepter are grasped in the eagle's claws. Above the eagle's heads is the crown.
Now the double-headed eagle is on the coat of arms of the Russian Federation. The double-headed eagle you see here is the modern version; the double-headed eagle insignia that was used by the Tsars had some slight differences.

When you travel to Russia, you're sure to get a taste of blini, or traditional Russian pancakes. These can be plain, topped with sour cream, or filled with jam, chocolate, or cheese (or just about any other filling you can think of). Caviar is often served on top of crusty, heavily-buttered bread as a part of the zakuska table. You might have some vodka to wash it down.
