La Russie est une vaste nation eurasienne riche en ressources naturelles, en exportations d'énergie stratégiques, en technologies spatiales avancées et en capacités industrielles diversifiées.
La Russie est divisée en deux parties principales : la Russie européenne et la Russie asiatique. La ligne qui les sépare suit généralement l'Oural et le fleuve Oural. Bien que la partie asiatique soit beaucoup plus vaste, la majeure partie de la population russe vit dans la partie européenne.

Russia's administrative divisions have the same names as their administrative centers (exceptions have the administrative center name following in parentheses). The United States does not recognize Russia's annexation of Ukraine's Autonomous Republic of Crimea and the municipality of Sevastopol, nor their redesignation as the Republic of Crimea and the Federal City of Sevastopol. It similarly does not recognize the annexation of the Ukrainian oblasts Donetsk, Luhansk, Zaporizhzhia, and Kherson
