Scenarios about 'russia'
Russia refers to both the historical Russian Empire and the modern Russian Federation, encompassing the world's largest country by landmass spanning Eastern Europe and Northern Asia. Its complex history includes imperial expansion under the tsars, the Soviet communist period (1917-1991), and its post-Soviet development as a major geopolitical power.
