Russia

Template:CountryInfoRussia, officially the Russian Federation, is a Slavic transcontinental nation in Europe and Asia. He is the largest country in the world, having 11 timezones without the help of oversees territories. Most of his land is a cold and vast place called Siberia, which is very rich in resources like oil, gas and minerals.

Russia has a harsh and strong personality, which is one of the reasons why he likes to bully his neighbors. Because of that, a lot of other countries dislike him. Russia also drinks way too much vodka, so he is usually drunk.

История (History)

Early Russian Federation

Main article: Russian Federation (1991-1993)

In 1991, the Soviet Union officially dissolves and the RSFSR declares itself as the Russian Federation. Boris Yeltsin becomes president, and embarks radical economic reforms, attempting a swift transition to a market economy. But this fails and caused hyperinflation and widespread poverty.

Wars and Isolation

Chechnya, a region within Russia, declared itself independent as the Chechen Republic of Ichkeria, sparking a war that lasted for years (the result was a Russian victory). In 1999, Yeltsin resigned and gave the position to Vladimir Putin. In 2008, Russia falsely accused Georgia of genocide, and invaded him. Russia won and recognized two breakaway states in Georgia, Abkhazia and South Ossetia.

In 2014, Russia annexed Crimea from Ukraine, despite almost every other country in the world condemning it. Russia invaded Ukraine again in 2022, this war is still ongoing as of March 2024. Russia uses ℤ as a military symbol and really likes the ℤ.
