Russia Information
Russia (Russian , transliteration Rossiya)
- more fully known as the Russian Federation,
transliteration Rossiyskaya Federatsiya)
- is a vast country in Eastern Europe and
northern Asia. Russia has both extensive
Arctic Ocean and North Pacific Ocean coastlines,
as well as smaller coastlines on the Baltic,
Black and Caspian Seas. Russia is bordered
by Norway and Finland to the northwest,
Estonia, Latvia, Poland, Belarus and Ukraine
to the west, Georgia and Azerbaijan to the
southwest, Kazakhstan, China and Mongolia
to the south, and China and North Korea
to the southeast. The American state of
Alaska lies opposite the easternmost point
of Russia across the Bering Strait.
Russia also administers the exclave of
Kaliningrad Oblast on the Baltic coast between
Poland and Lithuania.
Russia is the largest country in the world
by far; spanning twelve time zones, its
territory covers nearly twice as much of
the earth as that of the next largest country,
Canada. Despite its massive size, much of
the country lacks proper soils and climates
(either too cold or too dry) for agriculture.
Mount Elbrus (Gora El'brus), at 5,633 m,
is Europe's, and Russia's, tallest peak.

architectural gem of a small city, perhaps
the centerpiece of Russia's Golden Ring

of the Urals region and one of Russia's principal
