Olga, A simple traslation would be-- Russia can't be understood with the intellect. Умом Россию не понять, Аршином общим не измерить: У ней особенная стать — В Россию можно только верить. My translation: You can't know Russia only with your mind, Can't measure her by kilometer: Russia is the only one of her kind - To know her you must believe in her

You will not grasp her with your mind Or cover with a common label, For Russia is one of a kind – Believe in her, if you are able... Why don't you like it?
