Russia (Russian: Россия; tr. Rossija), officially the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic, is the largest Union Republic of the Soviet Union. By area, it is the largest first-level subdivision in the world with an area of 17.12 million km2. Russia stretches over eleven time zones, the most in the world, and has a continuous border stretching 22,407 kilometres in total. With a population of 182.13 million as of the 2019 census, Russia is the most populous country in both Europe and the Soviet Union. Moscow is Russia's capital as well as the capital of the Soviet Union, other major cities include Leningrad, which previously served as the capital from 1712 to 1918, Gorky, and Novosibirsk.

The Rus' emerged as a distinct people in the East European Plain in the Early Middle Ages. The Rus' people, generally regarded to be of Norse origin, settled across the trade routes between the Varangians and the Byzantines, resulting in the adoption of Eastern Orthodoxy. The Rurikids created the Kyivan Rus', regarded to be the first East Slavic state, collapsed in 1240~ with the Mongol invasion. Afterwards, the Grand Duchy of Moscow became the dominant faction in Russian politics, eventually coming to conquer all of Rus' by the time Ivan IV was crowned Tsar of Russia. After the Tsardom of Russia was proclaimed in 1547, Russia rapidly expanded, growing by an average of 35,000 km2 a year between the years of 1551 and 1700. Russia became the dominant northern power after the Treaty of Nystad which ended the Swedish Empire, shortly before Peter the Great proclaimed the Russian Empire, styling himself Emperor. Under Catherine the Great, Russia became a great power, partioning the territories of both Poland-Lithuania and the Ottoman Empire. Russia participated in the Napoleonic Wars, culminating in the French invasion of Russia which resulted in a Russian victory. A century later, the Russian Empire had become the world's largest country and the third largest empire in history. Russia's military incompetence showed itself at the Russo-Japanese War in 1905, which unmasked the weakness of the Russian military.The situation against the Tsar, Nicholas II worsened after disastrous defeats in the First World War, which resulted in the end of the monarchy in 1917 and the establishment of a republic later in the year. The Russian Republic ended up being short lived, however, as the Bolsheviks took power of many of Russia's major cities in the October Revolution. Vladimir Lenin personally led the Bolsheviks from 1917 until his death in 1924, in which he led the Red Army to victory in the Russian Civil War, establishing the world's first constitutionally socialist nation. The RSFSR later became a founding member of the Soviet Union in 1922.

Russia is the country's largest and most populated republic, and makes up a significant portion of the nation's economy, energy output, and more. As a result of this, the Soviet Union is oftenly (and incorrectly) referred to as Russia, despite Russia only being one of 15 Soviet Republics. Russia is the most diverse union republic with 193 distinct ethnic groups, with Russians being the largest ethnic group. Russia is also home to numerous ASSRs as well, the most in the nation.


Etymology and Names

"Russia" is derived from the term Rus', the term given to the area mainly populated by the East Slavs. This term became more popular in later history, and the country was referred to as "Rus' land" by its inhabitants. Rus' itself originates from the Norse Rus' people, a group of merchants and warriors who established a state centered on Novgorod that later expanded to become the Kievan Rus'. The modern spelling of Russia, Rossija, originates from the Medieval Greek term for the Rus', "Ρωσσία" or Rossía.

Soviet Russia originally had no name; its members often referred to the Bolshevik-run state as the Russian Republic. It was later christened as the Russian Soviet Republic on January 25th, 1918- later in the year this was changed to the Russian Socialist Federative Soviet Republic. With the Soviet Constitution of 1936, the "Socialist" and "Soviet" were swapped, resulting in the republic's modern name.
