I decided divide the country between Europe and Asia to adapt to the particular geography of this country, which is mostly empty in Siberia.
To avoid any unnecessary debates: the quiz only covers Russian territories recognized by the UN.
I hope you'll enjoy!
This map will soon have a rework anyway, fitting the other quizzes in this series and correcting some wording (alongside some other modifications, I may change the Crimean questions to avoid any controversies).
I think the sea and lake with one letter as hints have been mixed together.
Amazing quiz, only a minor correction :)
Thank you, it's fixed now!
