http://www.send.org/siberia/geography.htm
Curving around the North Pole in a huge arc, Russia (the Russian Federation) spans almost half the globe from east to west and about 4,000 kilometers (2,480 miles) from north to south. Divided into eleven time zones, Russia is by far the world's largest country. It occupies much of Eastern Europe and northern Asia. The terrain is diverse. There are great stands of forest, mountain ranges, and vast plains. There are also great reserves of natural resources that provide the nation with enormous potential wealth. Russia ranks sixth in the world in population, trailing China, India, the United States, Indonesia, and Brazil. The Ural Mountains, which extend more than 2,200 kilometers (1,364 miles) from north to south, form the boundary separating the unequal European and Asian sectors of Russia. Asian Russia is about as large as China and India combined, but it is the European western part that is home to more than 75 percent of Russia's inhabitants. This acutely uneven distribution of human and natural resources is a striking feature of Russian geography and population. The government has tried in vain to settle people in sparsely populated Asian areas rich in resources. Meanwhile, the European part is depleting water and fuel resources faster than Russia can exploit resource-rich Siberia.

Russia, or the Russian Federation, is the largest country in the world, extending from the Baltic Sea in the west to the Pacific Ocean in the east, occupying over half of the Eurasian landmass. From 1922 to 1991, Russia was the main constituent republic in the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, or the (USSR). Before that it was the principal component of a historic monarchical state, known as the Russian Empire. Russia is bordered on the west by Norway, Finland, Estonia, Latvia, Belarus, and Ukraine. The Black Sea, Georgia, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Mongolia, and China border Russia in the south. In the East it is bordered by the Pacific Ocean, and in the north by the Arctic Ocean. Eurpoean Russia is the area west of the Ural Mountains, and the Asian part of the country, is Siberia. Russia's capital city is called Moscow.

    Russia
    Introduction [Top of Page] Background: The defeat of the Russian Empire in World War I led to the seizure of power by the communists and the formation of the USSR. The brutal rule of Josef STALIN (1924-53) strengthened Russian dominance of the Soviet Union at a cost of tens of millions of lives. The Soviet economy and society stagnated in the following decades until General Secretary Mikhail GORBACHEV (1985-91) introduced glasnost (openness) and perestroika (restructuring) in an attempt to modernize communism, but his initiatives inadvertently released forces that by December 1991 broke up the USSR into 15 independent republics. Since then, Russia has struggled in its efforts to build a democratic political system and market economy to replace the strict social, political, and economic controls of the communist period.
