Map of the Russian Federation



Sender: Elena
I'm glad that the map does not use Russian alphabets so that I can read the words thereon :)

I read that spanning nine time zones, Russia is the largest country on earth in terms of surface area, although large tracts in the north and east are inhospitable and sparsely populated. Its climate ranges from the Arctic north to the generally temperate south.

  • Population: 140.3 million (UN, 2010)
  • Capital: Moscow
  • Area: 17 million sq km (6.6 million sq miles)
  • Major language: Russian
  • Major religions: Christianity, Islam
  • Monetary unit: 1 rouble = 100 kopecks
