Russia, or the Russian Federation, is a country
spanning Eastern Europe and North Asia. It is the
largest country in the world by area, extending
across eleven time zones and sharing land borders
with fourteen countries.[d] It is the world’s ninth-most
populous country and Europe’s most populous country.
Russia is a highly urbanised country including 16
population centres with over a million inhabitants.
Its capital as well as its largest city is Moscow.
Saint Petersburg is Russia’s second-largest city
and its cultural capital.
The East Slavs emerged as a recognised group in Europe
between the 3rd and 8th centuries CE. The first East
Slavic state, Kievan Rus’, arose in the 9th century,
and in 988, it adopted Orthodox Christianity from
the Byzantine Empire. Kievan Rus’ ultimately disintegrated;
the Grand Duchy of Moscow led the unification of Russian
lands, leading to the proclamation of the Tsardom of Russia
in 1547. By the early 18th century, Russia had vastly expanded
through conquest, annexation, and the efforts of Russian explorers,
developing into the Russian Empire, which remains the third-largest
empire in history. However, with the Russian Revolution in 1917,
Russia’s monarchic rule was abolished and eventually replaced by
the Russian SFSR—the world’s first constitutionally socialist state.
Following the Russian Civil War, the Russian SFSR established the
Soviet Union with three other Soviet republics, within which it
was the largest and principal constituent. At the expense of
millions of lives, the Soviet Union underwent rapid industrialization
in the 1930s and later played a decisive role for the Allies in World
War II by leading large-scale efforts on the Eastern Front. With the
onset of the Cold War, it competed with the United States for
ideological dominance and international influence. The Soviet
era of the 20th century saw some of the most significant Russian
technological achievements, including the first human-made
satellite and the first human expedition into outer space.
