AO BRIEF — Russian Federation
Territorial frame
-
Extent: Baltic Sea → Pacific Ocean (~9,000 km W–E), Arctic Ocean → Caucasus/Central Asia (~4,000 km N–S).
-
Area: ~17.1 M km² (≈11% of world land).
-
Time zones: 11 longitudinal belts — major mapping factor for logistics timing.
Macro-relief structure (map logic)
| Belt |
Landform |
Cartographic significance |
| East European Plain |
Lowland |
Dense settlement, agriculture, transport grid |
| Urals |
N–S mountain chain |
Natural divider, mining/industry belt |
| West Siberian Plain |
Vast flat basin |
Oil/gas core, floodplains |
| Central Siberian Plateau |
Uplands/taiga |
Sparse roads, air/rail reliance |
| Far East ranges |
Mountains + Pacific coast |
Linear coastal corridors |
Relief simplifies west, fragments east.
Hydrography (major linear features)
-
Volga basin — internal economic axis
-
Ob, Yenisei, Lena — north-flowing Siberian giants
-
Amur — Far East border river
Large rivers = natural barriers + corridor alignments.
Road network morphology
European Russia (dense mesh)
Siberia / Far East (linear corridors)
Road redundancy decreases sharply east of Urals.
Rail structure (primary national skeleton)
Urban spatial pattern
Western concentration zone (core triangle):
-
Moscow
-
Saint Petersburg
-
Kazan
Ural industrial belt
Siberian nodes
Pacific terminus
Population density gradient: high west → very low east.
Economic geography (layer overlay)
| Zone |
Resource/industry layer |
| West Siberia |
Oil & gas basins |
| Urals |
Metallurgy, heavy industry |
| Volga belt |
Manufacturing, petrochemicals |
| South (Black Earth) |
Grain agriculture |
| Arctic coast |
Energy terminals |
Demographic distribution
Political-territorial grid
-
80+ federal subjects (oblasts, republics, krais)
-
Administrative borders often follow historical/ethnic lines more than physical geography
-
Centralized governance radiating from Moscow
Environmental overlays
-
Permafrost zone across north/east
-
Continental winter severity
-
Seasonal mud (rasputitsa) affecting secondary roads
-
River ice regimes impact navigation
Cartographic takeaways
-
National structure = radial-western core + single transcontinental corridor
-
Rail lines define strategic continuity; roads secondary in Siberia
-
Major rivers and mountains create natural segmentation
-
Map products should emphasize:
-
West behaves like a European network; east like a corridor-and-node system.
