AO BRIEF — Russian Federation

Overview

• World’s largest country by area: ~17.1 million km², spans Eastern Europe → North Asia.

• 11 time zones; extreme scale drives logistics complexity.

• Strategic depth is geographic; population and infrastructure concentrated in the western 25%.

Physical geography

• Major regions

  • European Plain (west) — dense settlement, agriculture, industry

  • Ural Mountains — traditional Europe/Asia divide, resource zones

  • West Siberian Plain — vast lowland, oil/gas fields

  • Central Siberian Plateau — forested uplands

  • Far East — mountains, Pacific frontage

• Hydrology

  • Major rivers: Volga (economic spine), Ob, Yenisei, Lena, Amur

  • Extensive Arctic coastline; many ports ice-restricted part of year

• Climate

  • Predominantly continental/subarctic

  • Severe winters; permafrost in Siberia

  • Seasonal rasputitsa (mud) impacts ground mobility

Key roads & ground corridors

Primary federal highways

• M10 highway — Moscow ↔ St. Petersburg

• M4 Don highway — Moscow ↔ Black Sea (Rostov/Novorossiysk)

• M5 Ural highway — Moscow → Urals

• M7 Volga highway — Moscow → Kazan/Ufa

• R297 Amur Highway — Trans-Siberian road segment

Characteristics

• Western RF: multilane motorways, dense grid

• Siberia/Far East: long single corridors; limited redundancy

• Bridges and river crossings = critical nodes

Rail network (strategic mobility backbone)

• Trans-Siberian Railway

  • ~9,300 km Moscow ↔ Vladivostok

  • Core east-west freight axis

• Baikal-Amur Mainline (BAM)

  • Northern parallel to Trans-Sib; resource access

• European RF rail grid

  • High density Moscow–St Petersburg–Volga corridor

  • Electrified trunk routes dominate

Rail carries the majority of long-distance freight.

Major cities (population order of magnitude)

Urban population heavily western-weighted.

Demography

• Population: ~146 million

• Density uneven: European RF dense, Siberia sparse

• Aging trend; natural population decline in many regions

• Multiethnic federation (>190 ethnic groups)

Economy (spatial logic)

• Energy core: West Siberia oil/gas basins

• Industry: Urals + Volga belt

• Agriculture: Black Earth region (southwest)

• Ports: Baltic (StP), Black Sea (Novorossiysk), Pacific (Vladivostok), Arctic terminals

Political structure

• Federal semi-presidential republic in form; strong central executive authority in practice.

• 80+ federal subjects (oblasts, republics, krais).

• Centralized fiscal and security apparatus.

• Strategic orientation: Eurasian land power, focus on border periphery influence.

Environmental & operational factors

• Extreme cold, snow, ice → mobility constraints

• Vast distances → logistics dependent on rail

• Limited east–west road redundancy east of Urals

• Arctic ice, permafrost degradation affecting infrastructure

Command takeaways

• Control of Moscow hub, Volga corridor, Trans-Siberian rail, and southern highway belt (M4/M5/M7) defines national mobility.

• Infrastructure density drops sharply east of Urals → chokepoint reliance.

• Rail = primary strategic transport mode.

• Climate and terrain equal strategic actors alongside geography.
