Country

Russia

Also Known As Russian Federation

Eastern Europe

Russia is the largest country on Earth by area, spanning eleven time zones across northern Eurasia from the Baltic Sea and the Kaliningrad exclave in the west to the Bering Strait facing Alaska in the east, so that most of its territory lies in Asia even though its political and demographic core, including its capital, sits in Europe. Its statehood traces to the medieval principality of Muscovy, which grew into the Tsardom of Russia in 1547 and the Russian Empire in 1721; the present state, the Russian Federation, dates from the dissolution of the Soviet Union on 26 December 1991, though the UN Geoscheme, the wider of the two common definitions of Eastern Europe, counts the whole of Russia's territory as European. Its capital, Moscow, sits on the Moskva River in the country's populous western core.

The present Russian Federation dates from the dissolution of the Soviet Union on 26 December 1991. This is the founding date of the CURRENT state per this atlas's present-day-state scope rule; it is not a claim about when Russian statehood itself began, which historians trace continuously back through the Russian Empire (1721), the Tsardom of Russia (1547) and the medieval Grand Duchy of Moscow.

Eleven Time Zones

This article records tradition as it has been passed down and reported. Its sources are not yet part of the atlas's verified catalogue.

Russia is large enough that the fact most needs a comparison to land. At roughly 17 million square kilometers, it's the largest country on Earth by a wide margin, nearly twice the area of Canada, the next largest, and it spans eleven time zones, from Kaliningrad on the Baltic Sea, wedged between Poland and Lithuania, to Chukotka in the far northeast, closer to Alaska than to Moscow. Flying from Moscow to Vladivostok on the Pacific coast covers roughly 6,430 kilometers, about the same distance as flying from London to New York, entirely within one country's borders. Most of that vast territory, everything east of the Ural Mountains, sits geographically in Asia and is thinly populated, Siberian taiga and tundra with a scattering of resource-extraction cities; the country's political and demographic weight sits overwhelmingly in the much smaller European third, where Moscow, St. Petersburg and the great majority of the population live. Russia is, geographically, a European capital governing an Asian landmass, which is exactly why this atlas records it as on-continent both Europe and Asia rather than choosing one.

Moscow's Long Memory

This article records tradition as it has been passed down and reported. Its sources are not yet part of the atlas's verified catalogue.

This atlas records 1991 as Russia's founding year, the year the Soviet Union dissolved and the Russian Federation became the state whose borders, population and government exist today. That date is honest about the current state and honest about almost nothing else. Moscow first appears in the historical record in 1147, in a monastic chronicle describing a banquet the prince of Suzdal hosted there, a traditional founding date for the city even though archaeology shows people had already been living on the site since the Neolithic. Moscow grew into the seat of its own principality, then the capital of Muscovy by the late thirteenth century, then the Tsardom of Russia under Ivan the Terrible in 1547, then lost its status as capital when Peter the Great moved the seat of government to St. Petersburg in 1712, nine years before the Tsardom was proclaimed the Russian Empire in 1721, so St. Petersburg, not Moscow, was already the Empire's capital from the very start; the capital returned to Moscow only on 12 March 1918. Soviet rule followed in 1922, then the Russian Federation in 1991. Six names, six governments, one continuously inhabited capital region: 1991 answers only the narrowest possible version of when Russia began, a single state's founding date, and no more than that.

FAQs

Is Russia in Europe or in Asia?

Russia spans both: Eastern Europe west of the Urals, and North Asia from there to the North Pacific.

Both. The CIA World Factbook places Russia in North Asia bordering the Arctic Ocean, extending from Eastern Europe, meaning the portion west of the Urals, to the North Pacific Ocean. The part west of the Urals counts as Eastern Europe, and the land beyond them runs on to the Pacific.
