Russia’s vast geography presents a challenge even to its own citizens. A new quiz highlights the intricacies of the country’s diverse landscape, from its numerous time zones to obscure geographical features.

The quiz begins by asking about the number of time zones in Russia, the world’s largest country. It then delves into more specific knowledge, questioning the geographical inspiration behind the names of Soviet-era products.

Questions also cover the administrative divisions within Russia, such as the number of autonomous districts. One particularly tricky question asks about the location of Mount Karandash, while another tests knowledge of Russian towns named after European cities like Berlin and Paris.

The quiz further challenges participants to identify the longest river in Russia and determine which of a list of countries does not share a border with Russia. Arctic geography is also covered, with a question about the oldest Russian city founded in the Arctic.

Finally, the quiz presents a riddle about an island surrounded by water and “trouble,” and concludes by asking for the name of the largest swamp in Russia. The quiz serves as a reminder of the country’s geographical complexity and the vastness of its territory.
