Russia

national flag of Russia
Country / Region Features
  • The world's largest country by land area, spanning 11 time zones [参]

How to Distinguish

  • Domains may also use .ru and .su (country code top-level domain for the USSR)
  • Crosswalk signs have three lines.
  • The numbers on the signs by the side of the road indicate the distance between the start and end points.
  • They are also gas stations and bank lines for Gazprom, the world's largest producer of natural gas. If there is a building with a blue or dark blue logo and the sign "Газпром", it is probably Russian.
  • Pipes often run over walls, fences, etc.(by now_and_jenn )

Signs you can find

Gazprom is the world’s largest producer and supplier of natural gas and is a Russian state-owned company. Nord Stream is also a major shareholder in Gazprom.

Crosswalk signs have three lines painted on them, and there are signs with distances written on the side of the road. The distances written on the signs are often quite long.

Pipes are stretched along the fence.

Density of larch (brown area in the figure below) varies from place to place

Birch is an important clue because it’s easy to see and understand.

Butterbur grows throughout Japan and in Sakhalin.

Spruce is abundant near and west of the northwestern mountains.

  • There is blackish fertile soil (chernozem) from Ukraine to southern Siberia, and grain production is flourishing.
  • The road has sand on the side in the central north provinces of Russia. (by sound_of_silence_wl )
  • Astrakhan soil. (by sound_of_silence_wl )

Chernozem is distributed in the red area (image from the United Nations, public domain).

The soil around Astrakhan is red and sparsely vegetated, so it is not difficult to identify.

It seemed to be blackish, but I don’t know if it has any characteristics.
