I am rather surprised by how Russia is able to maintain their large hold on territory across Siberia.
Surely, the people on the Eastern front, is highly genetically different, than from those on the western side, which is closer to being European.
I assume it’s because of the threat of nukes, which kept the size of the Russian Federation the way that it is.
