Places in Russia. Facts about Russia
Russia has almost everything that can be imagined. There are the largest forests in the world (taiga), beautiful mountains, rivers, lakes and centres, representing the Russian culture and the culture of other indigenous peoples.
We nominally divide the Russian territory into several regions. We will start from European Russia, which is the central region with the Russian capital, Moscow. Then we will tell you about the Russian North and the second-largest Russian city, Saint Petersburg. Asian Russia is famous for enormous and mysterious Siberia. And the last, but not the least is the Far East. We have also posted special articles on the Urals, which divides Europe and Asia, as well as Southern Russia, including the Black Sea coast and the Caucasus Mountains.
Let’s start with general information about Russia.
