class=boxwhite><h2>Geography</h2>Russia is a country in Eastern Europe and Northern Asia. The territorial state has a size of over 17 million km² and a total coastal length of 37,653 km. This land mass is almost 1.8 times the size of the USA. Russia is thus the largest country in the world in terms of area, ahead of Canada, China and the USA. With 8.4 inhabitants per km², it is also one of the most sparsely populated countries in the world. A considerable proportion of the population (75%) is urban.<br><br>Russia is divided into numerous geographical zones over its exceptionally large area. On average, it lies at an altitude of 600 m above sea level. The highest mountain peak (Elbrus) is 5,642 meters above sea level. The country has direct borders with 14 neighboring countries: <a href="/asia/azerbaijan/index.php">Azerbaijan</a>, <a href="/europe/belarus/index.php">Belarus</a>, <a href="/asia/china/index.php">China</a>, <a href="/europe/estonia/index.php">Estonia</a>, <a href="/europe/finland/index.php">Finland</a>, <a href="/asia/georgia/index.php">Georgia</a>, <a href="/asia/kazakhstan/index.php">Kazakhstan</a>, <a href="/asia/north-korea/index.php">North Korea</a>, <a href="/europe/latvia/index.php">Latvia</a>, <a href="/europe/lithuania/index.php">Lithuania</a>, <a href="/asia/mongolia/index.php">Mongolia</a>, <a href="/europe/norway/index.php">Norway</a>, <a href="/europe/poland/index.php">Poland</a> and <a href="/europe/ukraine/index.php">Ukraine</a>.<br><br>Russia is generally counted as part of Europe, although about three quarters of the country is located in the geographical area of Asia. However, this part is hardly inhabited. 85% of the population lives west of the Ural Mountains, which run from north to south and form the border between Europe and Asia. Especially the vast Siberia in the northwest is to a large extent uninhabited.</div><div class="adtg bbd" id="adtg-1" data-gptfrmt="bbd" ><ins id=ags1 class=adsbygoogle data-ad-client="ca-pub-0315193065476355" data-ad-slot="2913722277" data-ad-format="horizontal" data-full-width-responsive="true"></ins></div><div class="boxwhite cgrey"><b>On further pages:</b><nav class=morepages><a href="sunset.php">Sunrise + Sunset</a><a href="timezones.php">Time zones</a><a href="climate.php">Climate</a><a href="public-holidays.php">Public Holidays</a><a href="tourism.php">Tourism</a><a href="airports.php">Airports</a><a href="economy.php">Economy</a><a href="debt.php">Government debt</a><a href="inflation-rates.php">Inflation Rates</a><a href="energy-consumption.php">Energy consumption</a><a href="telecommunication.php">Mobile + Internet</a><a href="asylum.php">Refugees</a><a href="health.php">Healthcare system</a><a href="/country-comparison.php?country1=RUS&country2=USA">Compare Russia with the USA</a></nav><div class=clear></div></div><div class="boxwhite greybg center timelinks"><div id=localtime_box data-utc="3" data-city="Moscow">Current time in Moscow:<div id=localtime_hour>00:00</div><div id=localtime_day>November 2024</div><br>The time in Moscow is <a href="/timezones/msk-moscow-standard-time.php">Moscow Standard Time (MSK)</a><span id=timedif>, which is currently 8 hours ahead of New York</span>. <br>As in many countries, there is no daylight savings time in Moscow.<br>Related to Greenwich Mean Time, there's the same difference of 3 hours all over the year.

High in the north, arctic cold prevails at up to minus 60 °C. Southwards it becomes increasingly warmer. While the far east has a humid monsoon climate, it is much drier, especially near the Black Sea coast, with temperatures up to 30°C. Apart from the steppe regions, it is also warmest here all year round. A special feature is the Ural Mountains, which run from north to south. Due to this course, there is no protection against arctic influences, so cold air can penetrate far into the country.<br><br><div class=center><b>Average daytime and nighttime temperatures</b></div><picture class=graph><source media="(max-width:630px)" srcset="//cdn.worlddata.info/graphs/klima/russland-temperaturen.png 400w, //cdn.worlddata.info/graphs/klima/russland-temperaturen-800.png 800w"><source srcset="//cdn.worlddata.info/graphs/klima/russland-temperaturen.png 400w, //cdn.worlddata.info/graphs/klima/russland-temperaturen-800.png 800w, //cdn.worlddata.info/graphs/klima/russland-temperaturen-930.png 930w"><img class=graph loading=lazy src="//cdn.worlddata.info/graphs/klima/russland-temperaturen-930.png" width=930 height=250 alt="Average daytime and nighttime temperatures in Russia"></picture><br><ul class=list style="font-weight:bold;"><li><a href="climate.php">Detailed climate data for Russia and 8 individual federal districts</a><div class=moreregions><a href="climate-central-russia.php" class=region>Central Russia</a>, <a href="climate-far-east.php" class=region>Far East</a>, <a href="climate-north-caucasus.php" class=region>North Caucasus</a>, <a href="climate-siberia.php" class=region>Siberia</a>, <a href="climate-south-russia.php" class=region>South Russia</a>, <a href="climate-ural-mountains.php" class=region>Ural Mountains</a>, <a href="climate.php">more...</a></div></li><li><a href="volcanoes.php">Volcanoes</a></li><li><a href="earthquakes.php">Earthquakes</a></li><li><a href="tsunamis.php">Tsunamis</a></li><li><a href="typhoons.php">Typhoons</a></li></ul></div><div class="boxwhite greybg center" style="min-height:90px; padding:15px;"><div class="adtg hrz" id="adtg-4" data-gptfrmt="hrz" ><ins id=ags4 class=adsbygoogle data-ad-client="ca-pub-0315193065476355" data-ad-slot="3247214056" data-ad-format="horizontal" data-full-width-responsive="true"></ins></div></div><div id=country_b2 class="boxwhite"><div class=mapholder><div id=cmap data-lazybg="/pics/countrymaps/RUS.png"><img id=lupe loading=lazy src="//cdn.worlddata.info/pics/lupe.png" alt=Zoom width=40 height=40></div></div><h2>Languages</h2><div class=indent>Official language:</div><div class="floater right">Russian</div><br><table class="std100 hover"><tr><th>Mother tongue</th><th>Distribution</th></tr><tr><td><a href="/languages/russian.php">Russian</a></td><td>81.0 %</td></tr><tr><td>Dolgang</td><td>5.3 %</td></tr><tr><td><a href="/languages/tatar.php">Tatar</a></td><td>3.0 %</td></tr><tr><td><a href="/languages/german.php">German</a></td><td>1.5 %</td></tr><tr><td><a href="/languages/ukrainian.php">Ukrainian</a></td><td>1.3 %</td></tr><tr><td><a href="/languages/armenian.php">Armenian</a></td><td>1.2 %</td></tr><tr><td>Chechen</td><td>1.0 %</td></tr><tr><td>Chuvash</td><td>0.9 %</td></tr><tr><td>Bashkir</td><td>0.7 %</td></tr><tr><td>Mordva</td><td>0.5 %</td></tr><tr><td>Mari</td><td>0.4 %</td></tr><tr><td><a href="/languages/kazakh.php">Kazakh</a></td><td>0.4 %</td></tr><tr><td>Avarianian</td><td>0.4 %</td></tr><tr><td><a href="/languages/belarusian.php">Belarusian</a></td><td>0.3 %</td></tr><tr><td>Udmur</td><td>0.3 %</td></tr><tr><td>other</td><td>1.8 %</td></tr></table><br><h2>Religions</h2><table class="std100 hover"><tr><th>Religion</th><th>Distribution</th></tr><tr><td>Buddhists</td><td>0.6%</td></tr><tr><td>Russian Orthodoxes</td><td>79.0%</td></tr><tr><td>Roman Catholics</td><td>0.3%</td></tr><tr><td>Protestants</td><td>0.3%</td></tr><tr><td>Muslims</td><td>4.0%</td></tr><tr><td>nondenominational</td><td>7.0%</td></tr><tr><td>other</td><td>8.8%</td></tr></table><br><br><div class="adtg cad-fix" id="adtg-3" data-gptfrmt="cad-fix" data-asfrmt="rectangle" style="display:inline-block;width:300px;height:250px;"><ins id=ags3 class=adsbygoogle data-ad-client="ca-pub-0315193065476355" data-ad-slot="7665770327" data-ad-format="rectangle" data-full-width-responsive="true"></ins></div><br><h2>Land use</h2><table class="std100 hover"><tr><td>1% Urban areas:</td><td>187,538 km²</td></tr><tr><td>13% Agricultural areas:</td><td>2,272,357 km²</td></tr><tr><td>50% Forest:</td><td>8,511,509 km²</td></tr><tr><td>4% Water areas:</td><td>721,380 km²</td></tr><tr><td>36% Others:</td><td>6,126,846 km²</td></tr></table><br><a class="btn btnh2" href="transport.php" title="Transport and infrastructure in Russia">more...</a><h2>Transport</h2><table class="std100 hover"><tr><td>Roadways:</td><td>1,538,875 km</td></tr><tr><td>Railways:</td><td>85,600 km</td></tr><tr><td>Waterways:</td><td>317,505 km</td></tr><tr><td>Reg. vehicles:</td><td>58,116,046</td></tr><tr><td>› <a href="airports.php">Airports</a>:</td><td></td></tr></table><br></div><div class="boxwhite floater"><a class="btn btnh2" href="economy.php" title="Economy in Russia">more...</a><h2>Economy</h2>According to the definition from the International Monetary Fund (IMF), Russia is a <a href="/developing-countries.php">developing country</a> because of its lower economic performance.
