TIL Russia has 11 timezones

Really puts into perspective how much land they have
It's kind of insane to think about and then to think about how most of it is barren
About 70% unused!
Honestly thought it was more with how the maps look
Mercator projections are the worst for size comparisons
Cue that gif that shows how bad the countries shift when properly sized
Yaaas! Thanks for finding this!

Isn't the majority of the population in the West?
They are, pretty much close to Moscow
I guess wanting actual usable land is what makes them try to expand west
Not like they'll have much left with what they've done in Ukraine
I don't know that Putin cares. It's a pride thing.
And then they want to add some of the European zones
Keep being the biggest beast!
