Russia is the largest country in the world by area (17,098,246 total sq. km).
Russia is the only country in the world where you can have 11 consecutive New Year parties, birthdays, or Christmases because it spans 11 time zones! When the sun rises in the west of Russia, at the same time it’s setting in the east.
Russia borders more countries than any other country in the world: 18. Norway, Finland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Belarus, Ukraine, Georgia, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Abkhazia, South Ossetia, China, Mongolia, North Korea (water border). Japan (water border), and the U.S.
It takes about six days to travel by Trans Siberian railroad from Moscow to Vladivostok..
The current length of this railroad is 9,288 km. Before railroads appeared in Russia, it took approximately six days to travel from Moscow to St. Petersburg (now, it only takes three hours by Sapsan train)
Russia can accommodate India five times, France - 26 times, Germany - 47 times, England - 70 times. Also, Russia’s area is bigger than the surface of Pluto (which is just 16.6 km2).
