Russia or the Russian Federation is a unique country that combines European and Asian features. The map of Russia is striking: the country occupies a vast territory of 17 million km 2 and is located simultaneously on the territory of 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 territory of the country is divided into 46 regions, 9 territories, 21 republics, 4 autonomous districts, one autonomous region and 2 federal cities. 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 make 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 after 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.

History reference

The Russian Federation is the successor of 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 in the 15th century merged into the Russian state. In 1721, Tsar Peter I created the Russian Empire. In 1917, the revolutionary movement of socialism overthrew the monarchical regime and formed first the 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 appeared.

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 both in satellite mode and in schematic map mode. You can watch from a satellite with the ability to zoom in on any city and switch between different providers and map types. Additional services are available - real-time cloud photos, traffic jams (only for large cities), terrain photos, 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

The quality of satellite photography often varies by region, as satellite images need to be constantly updated. Therefore, different providers may have different photo quality for a particular city or region. However, the best quality photos in most cases are from Google Maps. Photos of Yandex maps are often worse in quality, but they can be newer, so for new buildings you can get by with Yandex. OVI maps - surprisingly in some cases it has better photos even than in Google Maps,

Open Street Maps

OSM is a phenomenon of the modern computer society, because the map is made up of ordinary people (volunteers, 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 map as accurately and efficiently as a community of enthusiastic amateur cartographers does. New buildings (namely, it is easy to determine the relevance and "freshness" of the map by them) 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:

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

And for the most complete immersion, it is better to use all three paths. At least then it will be possible to say that the first acquaintance with the Russian Federation happened to mutual satisfaction.

What can be learned from the map of Russia?

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

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

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 is located beyond the Arctic Circle, and the Northern Planetary Zone owns 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 United States and Japan.

Water resources of the country on the map

The Russian Federation is considered to be the state with the largest water resources. And it really is, Russia map You can see a huge number of rivers and lakes. If you look into the encyclopedia, you can find out from it 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 the Irtysh, the Yenisei and the Ob. There is on the territory of the country the largest lake with fresh water in the world - this is Baikal. There is a huge salt lake, which is called the sea for its large size - this is the Caspian Sea.

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

• in the north, it is the harsh Arctic Ocean and the Barents, White, Kara, Laptev, East Siberian and Chukchi seas. It is difficult for ships to navigate these seas, since drifting ice is present in them for almost the entire year;
• 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 geographic points of Russia on the map

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

The southern boundary of the continent of Eurasia and Russia is a point on the main Caucasian ridge on the border between Dagestan and Azerbaijan.

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

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

How are the borders

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 boundary runs at a distance of 22.7 km from land. And the space limited by the distance from the coast of 370 km is considered the maritime economic zone of the country.

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