No.. those berries are more oval and the rushes are like bushes.... The ones I mean grow in the forest and the plants get no higher than a few decimeters.
Like this: If you look closely you can see that there are blueberry (or is it bilberry...) plants everywhere on the ground.
Gosh, you know this is an area of the English language which I am really not familiar with.
I have no idea what I am talking about, lol!!!
If they do then it's "голубика" but "голубика" doesn't grow in North America
This sounds like "черника" to meМорошка - Yes, they are really common in Sweden, but they don't grow anywhere near Stockholm so I have personally never picked them. But I like the taste! My aunt picks a lot of them every year and makes jam with them.You might have seen these berries in Sweden too

Морошка — Википедия (can be called couldberry)
I didn't even know what they were called in English!
Костяника looked like redcurrants (in latin, Ribes rubrum) to me. Otherwise I don't know what it is! We had red currants in our garden when I was a kid. Very boring to pick them...
There must be endless quantities of these berries growing in Russia!! Perhaps a good business opportunity for poor people. I assume they can pick wherever they like?
In Sweden there is a problem finding people who are willing to pick them for industry (meaning pick berries in the forest as a full time job during the season). In the past, Polish people were willing to do it, but now, they have to bring in people from Asia!!
