    Russia is the largest country in the world by surface area, spanning northern Asia and eastern Europe across 11 time zones. It has a population of over 144 million, with most living in European Russia, including major cities like Moscow and Saint Petersburg. Russia emerged from the medieval state of Kievan Rus, which adopted Orthodox Christianity in 988 and blended Byzantine and Slavic cultures. Overrun by the Mongol invasion in the 13th century, the Grand Duchy of Moscow reunified surrounding territories and gained independence from the Golden Horde, dominating the legacy of Kievan Rus and expanding to form the massive Russian Empire by the 18th century.

    Russia ( Russian: , tr.

    Rossija; IPA: [rsij]), also officially known as the


    Russian Federation[12] (Russian: , tr. Rossiyskaya
    Federatsiya; IPA: [rsijskj fdratsj]), is a country in Eurasia.[13] At
    17,125,200 square kilometres (6,612,100 sq mi),[14] Russia is the largest country
    in the world by surface area, covering more than one-eighth of the Earth's
    inhabited land area,[15][16][17] and the ninth most populous, with over 144 million
    people at the end of March 2016.[18][7] The European western part of the country
    is much more populated and urbanised than the eastern; about 77% of the
    population live in European Russia. Russia's capital Moscow is one of the
    largest cities in the world; other major urban centers include Saint Petersburg,
    Novosibirsk, Yekaterinburg, Chelyabinsk, Nizhny Novgorod, Ufa and Kazan.
    Extending across the entirety of Northern Asia and much of Eastern Europe,
    Russia spans eleven time zones and incorporates a wide range of
    environments and landforms. From northwest to southeast, Russia shares land
    borders with Norway, Finland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and Poland (both with
    Kaliningrad Oblast), Belarus, Ukraine, Georgia, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, China,
    Mongolia and North Korea. It shares maritime borders with Japan by the Sea of
    Okhotsk and the U.S. state of Alaska across the Bering Strait.
    The East Slavs emerged as a recognizable group in Europe between the 3rd
    and 8th centuries AD.[19] Founded and ruled by a Varangian warrior elite and
    their descendants, the medieval state of Rus arose in the 9th century. In 988 it
    adopted Orthodox Christianity from the Byzantine Empire,[20] beginning the
    synthesis of Byzantine and Slavic cultures that defined Russian culture for the
    next millennium.[20] Rus' ultimately disintegrated into a number of smaller states;
    most of the Rus' lands were overrun by the Mongol invasion and became
    tributaries of the nomadic Golden Horde in the 13th century.[21] The Grand
    Duchy of Moscow gradually reunified the surrounding Russian principalities,
    achieved independence from the Golden Horde, and came to dominate the
    cultural and political legacy of Kievan Rus'. By the 18th century, the nation had
    greatly expanded through conquest, annexation, and exploration to become the
    Russian Empire, which was the third largest empire in history, stretching from
    Poland on the west to Alaska on the east.[22][23]
