Russia
Russia spans eleven time zones, stretching from the Baltic coast to the Pacific and from the Arctic tundra to the semi-arid steppes of the south. It is a country of severe winters, birch forests, and industrial cities punctuated by gilded Orthodox domes. Daily life is shaped as much by geography and climate as by history.
