The Amber Room Mystery
The Amber Room is one of the most eloquent and magnificent rooms in all of existence. The room resided in the Catherine Palace of Tsarskoye Selo near Saint Petersburg. The walls were made of amber panels and adorned with gold leaf. When Nazis invaded Russia in World War II, they dismantled the room and stole all of the valuable amber and gold pieces. All of the priceless artifacts are all over the world, most likely never to be seen again.

Every year, Russians get together to help clean up their community. This happens in every city and town across the nation. They pick up garbage, fix broken furniture and objects, and take care of recycling. This day is called "Subbotnik" and it happens once a year.
