For many Russians, the word samovar is strongly associated with the history of their country and with the simple, common folk that have been the backbone of the nation throughout its history - from its darkest moments of sorrowful horror, to its greatest moments of triumphant happiness. Throughout the land, in the summer, families brought out their samovars into the yards and every family member gathered around them, drinking tea with different jams and cookies, and talking about the news of the past day. For everyone around, the brewing of the samovar tea was considered a very important ritual in this event.
