Russia or the Russian Federation is a unique country that combines European and Asian features. The map of Russia is amazing: the country occupies a huge territory of 17 million km 2 and is located simultaneously in Northern Asia and Eastern Europe.

143 million people live in Russia. The Russian Federation is a kind of “melting pot of nations”: representatives of more than 200 nationalities live here. The country is a federal republic with a presidential form of government. The country's territory is divided into 46 regions, 9 territories, 21 republics, 4 autonomous okrugs, one autonomous region and 2 cities of federal significance. It is noteworthy that the Kaliningrad region is located on the territory of the European Union and has no borders with the Russian Federation.

Today Russia is one of the dynamically developing states that rule world politics. The Russian Federation is a member of numerous world political organizations such as the UN and the G8. Despite the relative stability and significant development of the country since the fall of the Soviet regime, the Russian economy is largely dependent on energy resources, in particular on oil and gas prices.

The capital of Russia is Moscow - one of the most expensive and beautiful cities in the world.

Historical reference

The Russian Federation is the successor to several states. The country traces its history back to 862, when Kievan Rus was formed. In the 12th century, numerous Russian principalities were located on the territory of Russia, which united in the 15th century. Russian state. In 1721, Tsar Peter I created Russian Empire. In 1917, the revolutionary movement of socialism overthrew the monarchical regime and first formed Russian republic, then the RSFSR, and in 1922 the USSR.

During the Soviet regime, the country was separated from other countries of the world by the “Iron Curtain”, some of the consequences of which have not yet been eliminated. In 1991, the USSR collapsed and the Russian Federation emerged.

Must Visit

Russia is a country on whose territory there are many cultural, historical and natural monuments. It is recommended to visit the business and cultural centers of the country - Moscow and St. Petersburg, Lake Baikal, the cities of the Golden and Silver Rings, Orthodox monasteries and churches, the Caucasus Nature Reserve, the volcanoes of Kamchatka and much more.

Interactive map of Russia- a modern and convenient way to find the desired map of any region or city. This map allows you to view cities as in satellite mode, and in schematic map mode. You can view from a satellite with the ability to zoom in on any city and switch between different providers and map types. Additional services are available - photos of cloud cover in real time, traffic jams (only for large cities), photos of the area, a weather layer displaying the current weather for each settlement, and a brief forecast for the next 4 days.

For most objects on the map of Russia - Google Maps satellite photos are considered the best in quality

Quality satellite photography often depends on the region, because satellite images need to be constantly updated. Therefore, different providers may have different photo quality for a specific city or region. However, the best quality photographs in most cases are from Google Maps. Photos of Yandex maps are often of lower quality, but they may be newer, so for new buildings you can get by with Yandex. OVI maps - surprisingly, in some cases it has photographs that are even better than those in Google Maps,

Open Street Maps

OSM is a phenomenon of modern computer society, because the map is compiled by ordinary people (volunteers), (unlike the 2gis map and others). But despite this, OSM is considered the most accurate and detailed map not only for Russia, but for the whole world. Even such giants as Yandex or Google cannot compile maps as accurately and efficiently as a community of passionate amateur cartographers does. New buildings (and it is by them that it is easy to determine the relevance and “freshness” of the map) are almost always present on OSM (and even the foundations of new buildings), while in Google and Yandex they may be present alternately, or not present at all. In addition, Open Street Maps is probably the only map that displays paths in parks and forests and many other additional objects that are usually not available on other services.

A look at the map of Russia

How to get more complete information about Russia and get to know it better? There are several ways to do this:

• open and explore her;
• read books about the geography, history and customs of the peoples inhabiting this country;
• come and live here for several months.

And for maximum immersion, it is better to use all three ways. At least then it will be possible to say that the first acquaintance with the Russian Federation took place to mutual pleasure.

What can you learn from a map of Russia?

Why only the first meeting? Yes, simply because how can you quickly recognize a country that occupies 1/8 of the landmass on our planet? How can you get to know the largest state in the world so quickly?

So, before us map, what can we learn from it? At the first glance at the map, you can see that Russia is freely spread over two parts of the world: Europe and Asia. The huge area of ​​the country, stretching along the continent of Eurasia, immediately catches your eye.

You can even roughly determine that about 1/3 of the country’s territory is in Europe, and Asia belongs to a little more than 2/3. Most of Russia lies beyond the Arctic Circle, and the Northern Planetary Zone accounts for approximately 68% of its area.

Looking at the map, you can even count the number of states with which Russia borders. There are 18 such states: from Norway in northern Europe to North Korea in eastern Asia. Russia has maritime borders with two more countries - the USA and Japan.

Water resources of the country on the map

The Russian Federation is considered the state with the largest water resources. And this is true, on map of Russia it is seen great amount rivers and lakes. If you look at the encyclopedia, you can find out that there are more than 120 thousand rivers, and more than 2 million lakes.

Surely many are familiar with the largest Russian rivers: the Volga and Lena, the Amur and Irtysh, the Yenisei and the Ob. There is on the territory of the country the largest fresh water lake in the world - Baikal. There is a huge salt lake, which is called a sea due to its large size - this is the Caspian Sea.

Russia is washed by the seas of three oceans of our planet:

• in the north there is the harsh Arctic Ocean and the Barents, White, Kara, Laptev, East Siberian and Chukchi seas. It is difficult for ships to move through these seas, since they contain drifting ice almost all year round;
• in the west - the Atlantic Ocean and the Baltic, Azov and Black seas;
• in the east - the Pacific Ocean and its Bering, Okhotsk and Japanese seas.

Extreme geographical points of Russia on the map

See for yourself: the most northern continental point is Cape Chelyuskin, it is located on the Taimyr Peninsula. The same extreme northern point, only an island one, is called Cape Fligeli, it is located on an island in the Franz Josef Archipelago.

The southern border of the Eurasian continent and Russia is a point on the main Caucasus ridge on the border between Dagestan and Azerbaijan.

Next we look to the west. There, in the Baltic Sea near Kaliningrad, on a spit, is the westernmost point of Russia. On the opposite side of the map, in the east, is Cape Dezhnev, considered the extreme continental point. And the extreme point of the island is located on Rotmanov Island, located near America in the Bering Strait.

Due to the large extent of Russia from east to west, its entire territory is divided into 10 time zones. In sparsely populated areas, their boundaries run along the meridians, and where there is a large population, they are drawn along the boundaries of administrative entities.

How are the borders drawn?

The length of the borders of the Russian Federation exceeds 60 thousand km, of which about 20 thousand km are land borders, and the rest are sea borders. It is generally accepted that the maritime border runs at a distance of 22.7 km from land. And the space limited by a distance of 370 km from the coast is considered the country’s maritime economic zone.

In this space, limited by a 370 km zone, there may be ships different countries, but only the Russian Federation has the right to extract natural resources.
