Japan in 1905 and Afghanistan in 1979 did pretty well, too. As did the United States, directly or through proxy in some places.

Red Machine in 1905. Ok.

Level 79

Oct 24, 2020

Never heard of a "Red Russian War Machine" before. If you mean the Red Army of the Soviet Union established in 1917, fine, the other two things I listed still apply.

Had first forgotten Ukraine for a while. And had two brainfarts. Somewhere in the beginning I typed russia (sometimes I forget what quiz im doing...) and south korea, which obviously only borders northkorea

The Poland–Russia border seems to be only 232 km /144 mi long.

Level 58

Dec 17, 2019

I highly doubt the border length with Poland!

Seems to me like the 432 km listed is the entire length of the border of Kaliningrad oblast, not just the part with Poland.

Level 54

It recognises the territories of Donetsk and Luhansk in Ukraine, adding two, along with Abkhazia and South Ossetia in Georgia, adding two again, so Russia claims borders with 18 countries.

Level 67

Dec 29, 2022

No land border as Russia controls the entire Sakhalin island. Took the southern half from Japan in 1945.

Level 60

Aug 1, 2022

Perhaps after the quiz answers are reveal, please add the clarification "Border between Russia and Ukraine is based on both deJure and deFacto, consistent with current jetPunk policy, with Crimea deFacto part of Russia and breakaway provinces of the Donbass part of Ukraine"

Pray for people of Ukraine and the rank-and-file soldiers on both sides. Contribute what you can to vetted charitable causes to ameliorate suffering.
