Russia, the world’s largest nation, borders European and Asian countries as well as the Pacific and Arctic oceans
And don't forget the fact that earlier the Russian Empire spanned across three continents: Asia, Europe and North America. Alaska was a Russia colony, before the Tsar sold it in 1867. Russian settlements were even present in North California.
Yea-yea-yea, it has nothing common with the modern Russia: the country of the 3'rd world, just like Kenya but snow instead of sand.
Russia has a great opportunities to be a good country but the local government are doing that wrong and I'm afraid that will lead Russians to the dead end.
