Russian Far East

Rare card · No. 50392

The Russian Far East is a region in North Asia. It is the easternmost part of Russia and the Asian continent, and is coextensive with the Far Eastern Federal District, which encompasses the area between Lake Baikal and the Pacific Ocean. The area's largest city is Khabarovsk, followed by Vladivostok (which has served as the federal district's administrative center since 2018). The region shares international land borders with Mongolia, China, and North Korea to its south, as well as maritime boundaries with Japan to its southeast, and with the United States along the Bering Strait to its northeast. Although foreign sources often consider the Russian Far East to be a part of Siberia, it has historically been categorized separately from Siberia in Russian regional and cultural schemes.
