@youranoncentral.bsky.social@hypebot I don’t want to nitpick, but looking at the globe, East Russia would be correct. And the Canada annexation makes a lot of sense that way.
@jfpavlik@youranoncentral.bsky.social No, sorry, it's always called simply Russia. It is further divided into federal subjects, such as Аляскинский край, Калифорнийская область, Ню-Йорк, etc.
@youranoncentral.bsky.social I think East Russia is more appropriate. They are neighbors in the end, separated by only 3.8 km of water between the two Diomedes islands.
