Every ethnic group has its tortilla equivalent. For the French it's the crepe. For the Ethiopians it's injera. For the Russians it's блин, which in English we call a blintz. Блины tend to be small, say eight inches in diameter, and they are wrapped around pretty much anything, sweet or savory: fruit, berries, cabbage, squash, mushrooms, meat, caviar… even chocolate. My own favorite is filled with творог farmer's cheese, which is kind of like a dryer version of cottage cheese. Usually they sweeten it with some sugar, and then of course fry them up again in butter, and then maybe slather on a layer of сметана sour cream as well.
