Sunflowers. He likes them.

"He has been tormented since his childhood, having seen many tragedies and wars, which have cracked his mentality. General Winter haunts and attacks him every year, which has caused him to hate the cold. However, in the face of war, General Winter is his best ally. He dreams of one day living in a warm place surrounded by sunflowers."

Soft shading is still weird... I'm just used to cell shading.

Russia/Former Soviet Union/Ivan Braginski-Braginsky and Axis Powers/World Series Hetalia belong to Hidekaz Himaruya(sp?)

In short:
The tallest of the Allies, as well as the tallest of all the nations together, Russia wears a long, heavy tan coat, brown pants, brown gloves, and a long tan or pink scarf; in the mini-drama CD included with his character album, he mentions to Japan that his scarf is a body part and therefore he cannot take it off. He has a round, childish face with a more prominent nose, and tends to carry around a bottle of vodka or a faucet pipe.

A large young man who is seemingly bighearted and innocent, but is in reality childishly cruel. He comes off as intimidating without even saying a word, his gentle smile and disposition only intensifying the aura of dread which seems to constantly hang over him.

Though he is capable of being incredibly cruel-minded, Russia himself is unaware of it. Whenever he thinks of either of his sisters he becomes very depressed.
