Russia's Geographic Regions

Russia is conventionally divided into European Russia (west of the Ural Mountains), Siberia (between the Urals and the Pacific), and the Russian Far East. The Ural Mountains form the traditional geographic boundary between Europe and Asia. Siberia contains some of the world's largest river systems (Ob, Yenisei, Lena) and the world's deepest lake (Lake Baikal). The Sakha Republic (Yakutia) is larger than all of Western Europe.
