Question

How far is russia from the usa?

Answer 1

At it's closest point , which would be the Bering Strait in Alaska , it is 51 miles.

Answer 2

The Bering Strait separates the USA from Russia at Alaska and Siberia.

The mainland to mainland distance is 58 miles.

But, in actuality, the USA and Russia are only 2.5 miles apart at the Diomede islands, which sit in the middle of the Bering Strait. Little Diomede is USA territory, and Big Diomede is Russian territory.
