Another "fun" thing: it is illegal in Russia for maps to show "wrong" borders and that, of course, includes the border with Ukraine. According to Russian constitution amendments of last year, the four regions of Ukraine and Crimea should be shown as part of Russia.
At least two of Russian mapping services, Yandex maps and 2gis, did the strangest thing last year: they stopped showing borders AT ALL. If you click on anything in one of the disputed regions, the address would not include a country either.
