English to Russian Translation

[Raskolnikov]

Does anyone know how to say "the Christian holy land of Russia", in Russian.

In context it would be as the title of something.

Also, how would one say "Mother Russia", "Russia the Motherland", and/or "Russia the Fatherland".

I need them to be in Cyrillic.

Thanks in advance.

Does anyone know how to say "the Christian holy land of Russia", in Russian.

This is not very easy, indeed. I asked my husband, he said there was no such idiomatic expression in Russian. He suggested :
святая христианская Россия
or even better :
святая христианская Русь
I say better, but it will depend on context. Русь sounds nicer, but there may be contexts in which Россия would fit better.
I searched a little bit in Google and it seems that "Святая Русь" is a quite common expression, as it is in English or French (Holy Russia/la Sainte Russie). But not with "Christian".

Also, how would one say "Mother Russia", "Russia the Motherland", and/or "Russia the Fatherland".

motherland is rather "родина" and fatherland "отечество". Actually, отечество commes from "отец" = father, so this is a very litteral translation to fatherland. "родина" is from the word "родиться" = to be born. This is the land where you were born, so your fatherland/motherland. It is not linked to the word "mother", but it is more often used to speak about Russia motherland because it is feminine, like russia, whereas отечество is neutral, which makes it impossible to use together with "Russia". So you can say :

отечество (without "Russia")= fatherland
Россия мать = Mother Russia
матушка Россия = Mother Russia (this 2nd variant is even more often used than the first one)
родина мать = literally, "mother-motherland"

These are the only variants I can think of, maybe there are others, but I think those are the most common.
