Russian Far East

The Russian Far East is a vast, sparsely populated region in eastern Russia, stretching from Siberia’s eastern edge to the Pacific Ocean. It includes rugged mountainous areas, forests, and Arctic tundra. Known for its natural resources like oil, gas, and minerals, it plays a crucial role in Russia’s economy. The region is characterized by cold climate, diverse wildlife, and strategic importance due to proximity to Asia-Pacific countries.
