What Is The Length of Russia?

Question

Thanks!

Answer 1

6,666 miles. 11 time zones. America has only four time zones

Answer 2

Around 8000 kilometres or 5000 miles.

The two widest separated points in Russia are about 8,000 km (5,000 mi) apart along a geodesic line. These points are: the boundary with Poland on a 60 km long (40-mi long) spit of land separating the Gulf of Gdańsk from the Vistula Lagoon; and the farthest southeast of the Kuril Islands, a few miles off Hokkaidō Island, Japan. The points which are furthest separated in longitude are 6,600 km (4,100 mi) apart along a geodesic. These points are: in the West, the same spit; in the East, the Big Diomede Island (Ostrov Ratmanova). The Russian Federation spans 11 time zones.

The previous users cited data for the Russian Empire, which included Poland, Ukraine, Belarus and a number of other currently independent states.
