Russian Federation

Russia, or the Russian Federation, is a country located in Eurasia. It is the largest country on Earth by area; as of 2021, it has a population of 146.1 million. It was created on December 26, 1991, when Boris Yeltsin went behind Mikhail Gorbachev's back to make a deal with Ukraine and Belarus to dissolve the Soviet Union and to set up the Russian Federation, much to Gorbachev's dismay. Russia only appeared in The Cold War (Part 2). Yeltsin became its first president. On December 31, 1999, Boris resigned, and Vladimir Putin took over. He remains the president today. On February 24, 2022, Russia invaded Ukraine; it is ongoing.
