Russia’s geography is unique in many ways, with a vast land area, diverse landscapes, and a wide range of natural resources, including oil and gas. It also has the world’s longest border, spanning over 20,000 kilometers. The country is home to several of the world’s largest rivers and lakes, including the Volga River and Lake Baikal. The extremely cold temperatures of Siberia and the Arctic make Russia a challenging place to live, but also provide unique opportunities for research and exploration.
