Imagine the situation, you are stopped on the street by a reporter of some local channel, with an unobtrusive offer - to answer a series of simple questions about the country in which you live, study, work ... If you doubt yourself, your knowledge, you will find thousands of reasons to avoid questions, want to retire, pass by, thereby avoiding a very delicate situation bordering on shame. It's one thing to disgrace yourself in front of one person, and quite another - to the whole country.
Recently, on the air of one of the state channels, a video of just such a situation was shown - in a crowded place, in the center of Moscow, a survey was conducted on the topic: "how do you know the geography of Russia." The simplest questions were asked, and unfortunately most of the "test subjects" were embarrassed ...
In this regard, we decided to introduce the “All about Russia” section, dividing articles into questions - answers on geography, history, and so on ... Today we will start with geography. Test your knowledge here and now:

Answer: More than 146 million people
Russia is considered the largest country in the world in terms of its own territory, but as for the population, here our country is located only on the 9th line of the planet.
- China 1,339,450,000
- India 1,187,550,000
- US 310,241,000
- Indonesia 237 556 000
- Brazil 193,467,000
- Pakistan 170,532,000
- Bangladesh 164,425,000
- Nigeria 158,259,000
- Russia 143,300,000
According to Rosstat, as of January 1, 2017, the total population of Russia is 146,804,372 people.
And yet, the Russian Federation is the most populated state in Europe. The average density is 8.36 people per square kilometer, but the fact is that the population density is extremely unevenly distributed. So, about 80 percent of our compatriots live in the European part of the country, which is only 23% of the entire territory of the Russian Federation. If the population density, say, in Chukotka is 0.07 inhabitants per square km, then in Moscow, the capital of our country, the figures are completely different - about 4,700 people per square km!
8 How many federal districts are there in Russia?
Answer: 8 counties
All subjects of the Russian Federation are united in 8 federal districts.
The legal basis for the creation of the federal districts of the Russian Federation is Decree of the President of the Russian Federation dated May 13, 2000 No. 849 On the Plenipotentiary Representative of the President of the Russian Federation in the federal district.
In accordance with this Decree, seven federal districts were formed:

- Yuzhny (administrative center - Rostov-on-Don)
- Severo-Zapadny (administrative center - St. Petersburg)
- Far East (administrative center - Khabarovsk)
- Siberian (administrative center - Novosibirsk)
- Ural (administrative center - Yekaterinburg)
- Privolzhsky (administrative center - Nizhny Novgorod)
- In 2010 from the South federal district The North Caucasian Federal District was separated. He became the eighth (administrative center - Pyatigorsk).
- By the decree of President Vladimir Putin dated March 21, 2014, the ninth federal district, Crimean, was formed. (administrative center - Simferopol), but later, in 2016, Vladimir Putin incorporated the Crimean Federal District into the Southern Federal District.
On the map of districts there is no Crimean district - old map. 9 How many cities are there in Russia?
Answer: 1113 cities
As of October 10, 2015, the number of cities in the Russian Federation increased to 1113, as the urban-type settlement of Uglegorsk, Amur Region, is being transformed into the city of Tsiolkovsky.
However, it belongs to the so-called closed cities of Russia (ZATO). After all, it is here that the full-scale construction of the Vostochny cosmodrome is underway.
The Vostochny cosmodrome will be located near the Svobodny cosmodrome, which was disbanded in 2007. About the closed cities of Russia -
The largest cities in Russia are:
Moscow, St. Petersburg, Novosibirsk, Yekaterinburg, Nizhny Novgorod, Kazan, Samara, Chelyabinsk, Omsk, Rostov-on-Don, Ufa, Krasnoyarsk, Perm, Volgograd, Voronezh.
Russian President Vladimir Putin at the Vostochny Cosmodrome, October 14, 2015 Answer: Elbrus / Caspian Sea
The Caspian Sea is the largest enclosed body of water on Earth, which can be classified as the largest closed lake, or as a full-fledged sea, due to its size, and also due to the fact that its bed is composed of oceanic-type earth's crust. Located at the crossroads of Europe and Asia.
The most low point Russia located far to the south - near the Caspian Sea, where the absolute marks on the Caspian lowland reach -28 meters! In other words, this territory is located almost thirty meters below the level of the oceans.
Of course, it is far from the absolute champion - the Dead Sea, which lies another 400 meters below the ocean shores, but the height of a nine-story building is also a lot.
The Caspian lowland was once the bottom of a vast sea, the memory of which we have left the vast Caspian.
