About Russia
Russia is the largest country in the world with the longest national border and 18 neighbouring countries. Bounded by 12 seas of the Atlantic, Arctic and Pacific Oceans, the country’s 17.1 million km² include one-eighth of the earth’s inhabited surface area and extends across 11 of the earth’s 24 standard time zones; as Russians in Vladivostok sit down to enjoy their evening family meals, their countrymen in Kaliningrad are rising to greet the sun’s morning rays.
