A troika is a traditional Russian harness driving combination, using three horses abreast, usually pulling a sleigh. Poets have composed poems about Troika, folks sang songs and ditties, artists and sculptors immortalized it in painting, lacquer miniature and sculpture. Troika has become a symbol of Russia, a brave and mysterious Russian soul.
