  Both the Russian Czars and the Bolsheviks who came to power in
   1917 have a long history of expansionist policies, which explains why,

  Officially Russian Federation Formerly Russian Soviet
   Federated Socialist Republic. A country of eastern Europe and northern
   Asia stretching from the Baltic Sea to the Pacific Ocean.
    Russia, generally continental, varies from extreme cold in N Russia
   and Siberia (where Verkhoyansk, the coldest settled place on earth, is
   situated), to subtropical along the Black Sea shore.
    Since the collapse of the Soviet Union, Russia has experienced a
   decline in population. This is due in part to the difficult economic
   conditions the nation has endured, especially in the 1990s, which has
   led to a low birth rate, and to a reduced male life expectancy.
    The world's largest country by land area, Russia ranks sixth in terms
   of population. It occupies much of E Europe and all of N Asia,
   extending for c.
    European Russia; subarctic in Siberia to tundra climate in the polar
   north; winters vary from cool along Black Sea coast to frigid in
   Siberia; summers vary from warm in the steppes to cool along Arctic
   coast

    Repeated devastating defeats of the Russian army in World War I led to
   widespread rioting in the major cities of the Russian Empire and to
   the overthrow in 1917 of the imperial household. The Communists under
   Vladimir LENIN seized power soon after and formed the USSR.
  Since then, Russia has shifted its post-Soviet
   democratic ambitions in favor of a centralized semi-authoritarian
   state whose legitimacy is buttressed, in part, by carefully managed
   national elections, former President PUTIN's genuine popularity, and
   the prudent management of Russia's windfall energy wealth.
