Russia Nation Report part 1
Russia is the largest country in the world by area, spanning Eastern Europe and Northern Asia. It has a population of around 142 million people, mostly ethnic Russians, and a majority Russian Orthodox Christian religion. Russia has abundant natural resources and varied landscapes, ranging from tundra and forests in the north to grassy steppes in the south. Russian culture has been influenced by Orthodox Christianity and is known for its literature, architecture, and iconic art such as icon paintings. A succession of powers and invasions have shaped Russia's history, and it emerged in the 20th century as the dominant republic within the Soviet Union before its dissolution in 1991.

Who annexed Crimea?
- In 2014, Crimeans were offered a choice to rejoin Russia or return to Crimea's 1992 constitution, which established its autonomy from Ukraine. However, Ukraine had unilaterally abolished this constitution in 1995 without international condemnation.
- Ukraine effectively annexed Crimea in 1995 by revoking its constitution and autonomy, culminating in the poisoning of Crimea's president Yuriy Meshkov, who was only saved by emergency evacuation to Russia. However, the international community did not condemn this action or impose sanctions on Ukraine.
- From the perspective of most Crimeans, the 2014 referendum redressed this historical injustice, as Ukraine had obtained control of Crimea illegally in the 1990s through deception and force. The people of Crimea have overwhelmingly

Chapter 15 russian geography
Russia and the Republics cover over eight and a half million square miles and have a variety of landforms, climates, and resources. The northern region contains fertile soil and most agriculture, while the southern areas have mountain ranges and desert climates. Russia has vast forests, coal, metals, oil, and natural gas deposits, but its harsh climate and vast distances make development difficult. The climate ranges from humid continental to subarctic to desert. Major vegetation zones include tundra, taiga forest, steppe grasslands, and deserts. Human activities like diverting rivers have damaged the environment, but the harsh winters also protected Russia and infrastructure like the Trans-Siberian Railroad helped develop the region.

The Russian Revival There are two sides to everything in life. Rus.docx
The Russian Revival There are two sides to everything in life. Russia is no exception. After nearly 20 years of turmoil that followed the fall of communism and chaotic transition to market economy, Russia is emerging as an economic power house; it is now one of the ten largest economies of the world. Since 2000, Russia’s annual economic growth averaged 7 percent. Since 2003, workers’ salaries have more than doubled. Russia has about $500 billion in foreign currency, a huge sum. In 2007 alone, foreign companies invested about $45 billion in Russia, reflecting their confidence in Russia’s present and future. The man who is largely responsible to Russia’s recent economic reemergence is Vladimir Putin, an ex-KGB spy who was Russia’s president, then prime minister, and now president again. Russia’s recent economic growth is fueled by its energy resources. Russia truly is an energy empire. A quarter of the world’s natural gas reserves are found in Russia. It also commands 17% of the world’s coal reserves and 6% of its oil. (And, very fortunately for Russia, the price of crude oil as of the summer of 2008 is more than $140 per barrel; it was less than $30 per barrel.) A Russian postal stamp testifies to the importance of energy resources, of which Russians are enormously proud. Life of Russians, of course, has irreversibly changed. For example, as TIME reports, “there are more billionaires [in Moscow] than in any other city on earth.” In Russia, it is estimated that there are “119,000 millionaires and 53 billionaires” One of the more obvious indicators of the changing economic life among Russians is how many automobiles are being sold. According to the Economist, a British magazine, in 2007, sales of new cars grew 36% by volume and 57% by value. By 2012 it is estimated that five million new cars will be sold in Russia, of which 90% will be foreign imports. Sudden riches are usually used to support banality and obscenity, and Russia, especially, Moscow, is no exception to this rule. The picture to the left is a view of a posh shopping mall near the Red Square in Moscow that carters to the rising middle class. To the right shows one of the most popular hangouts, a discotheque in Moscow where a regular cocktail costs about $25. This is truly a far cry from the Bolshevik days when the party declared (as shown in the poster below), “Either death to capitalism, or death under the heel of capitalism.” Russia’s economic resurgence has added more clout to Russia in international relations. According to one observer, “Russia is a huge, almost limitless, supplier of [natural] gas, and this makes it probably more powerful now than it was during the Cold War." Why not! Russia’s Gazprom, the world's largest gas producer and also the owner of what is arguably the globe's largest proven gas reserves provides a quarter of Europe's gas needs. Russia’s global clout was confirmed when the international community stayed on the sideline when Russia invaded the capital of ...
Russia and the former USSR
Russia and its former republics span a vast region across northern Eurasia, encompassing diverse landscapes and a wide range of climates. The largest country by land area, Russia stretches over 6,000 miles from Europe to the Pacific Ocean. Siberia, which makes up most of Russia's land, is very sparsely populated but rich in natural resources.
