Today Russia is one of the dynamically developing states that make world politics. The Russian Federation is a member of numerous world political organizations such as the UN and the G8. Despite the relative stability and significant development of the country after the fall of the Soviet regime, the Russian economy is largely dependent on energy resources, in particular on oil and gas prices.
The capital of Russia is Moscow - one of the most expensive and beautiful cities in the world.
Historical reference
The Russian Federation is the successor of several states. The country traces its history back to 862, when Kievan Rus was formed. In the 12th century, numerous Russian principalities were located on the territory of Russia, which in the 15th century merged into the Russian state. In 1721, Tsar Peter I created the Russian Empire. In 1917, the revolutionary movement of socialism overthrew the monarchical regime and formed first the Russian Republic, then the RSFSR, and in 1922 the USSR.
During the Soviet regime, the country was separated from other countries of the world by the "Iron Curtain", some of the consequences of which have not yet been eliminated. In 1991, the USSR collapsed and the Russian Federation appeared.

Interactive map of Russia- a modern and convenient way to find the desired map of any region or city. This map allows you to view cities both in satellite mode and in schematic map mode. You can watch from a satellite with the ability to zoom in on any city and switch between different providers and map types. Additional services are available - real-time cloud photos, traffic jams (only for large cities), terrain photos, a weather layer displaying the current weather for each settlement, and a brief forecast for the next 4 days.
For most objects on the map of Russia - Google Maps satellite photos are considered the best in quality
The quality of satellite photography often varies by region, as satellite images need to be constantly updated. Therefore, different providers may have different photo quality for a particular city or region. However, the best quality photos in most cases are from Google Maps. Photos of Yandex maps are often worse in quality, but they can be newer, so for new buildings you can get by with Yandex. OVI maps - surprisingly in some cases it has better photos even than in Google Maps,
Open Street Maps
OSM is a phenomenon of the modern computer society, because the map is made up of ordinary people (volunteers, volunteers), (unlike the 2gis map and others). But despite this, OSM is considered the most accurate and detailed map not only for Russia, but for the whole world. Even such giants as Yandex or Google cannot map as accurately and efficiently as a community of enthusiastic amateur cartographers does. New buildings (namely, it is easy to determine the relevance and “freshness” of the map from them) are almost always present on OSM (and even the foundations of new buildings), while in Google and Yandex they may be present alternately, or not present at all. In addition, Open Street Maps is probably the only map that displays paths in parks and forests and many other additional objects that are usually not available on other services.
Russia - physical map one file, which shows the largest cities, the main ranges and plains. The map is very clear and easy to understand, although not detailed enough.

Roads are an integral part of any country, including Russia. They represent a very important life grid for the movement of vehicles, the transportation of various goods, the movement of people along the streets of cities, and much more. And only a road map will help you with this.
very often without road maps of Russia with cities it is simply impossible to do without, because all roads are intertwined with each other and sometimes getting by car from one city to another becomes a considerable problem. The question for travelers arises: "How to get there?". A large number of drivers take quite a risk by driving a car and at the same time looking at a map where they need to go. It is better to prepare for the trip in advance - there are a large number of road maps on my website. One of those useful road maps of Russia will be given below. You can zoom in and out, move it wherever you want.
Russia is a magical place where all roads intertwine! There are simply a great many kilometers of them in the country. Currently, a considerable amount of financial resources are allocated annually for the construction of new roads and the repair of old routes. A close-knit team and competent specialists try to perform asphalt laying always on time and with the highest quality.
Without roads, the existence of the country and people would be simply impossible. Everything that happens in people's lives or happened before, in one way or another, has always been connected with roads. The Russian transport system is incredibly intricate and complex. Not a very clever proverb says that only fools build roads in Russia. But think for yourself, is it possible to call fools those who tried to build this entire huge network of roads in the country, risking their health hourly?
After thinking, everyone will answer: of course, they cannot be called that, because they tried for us! The roads of Russia include not only federal highways, but also dirt rural roads (you can see them on our road map of Russia), think for yourself without them, all the villages and villages were simply “torn off” from the world. Let us conclude: the road in the country was built and not by fools, but by real great people! They not only built roads, but where necessary they built bridges. The country's climate only accompanies the destruction of all road routes, and the budget allocated for construction and repair must somehow be distributed evenly. And they do it, albeit not as well as many of us would like.
Picturesque places, forests and vegetation only decorate the sides of our roads, making them more attractive.
