Russkaya Troyka

Russkaya Troyka is an informal symbol of Russia - It is the three horses. The Troyka is very well known in Russian literature, songs, poetry, movies and folklore. This symbol represents the hopes and dreams of Russian people. It symbolises a new life where dreams have come true, and all trouble have passed. The road is the symbol of your journey in life, and the three horses will help you get there.

In olden times, after a wedding ceremony, the couple often left in a carriage pulled by three horses as a sign of this future success and happiness. Nowadays it can also be seen on a local brand of Russian vodka.
