What is now modern day Russia began in the area of Kiev, Ukraine. Due to the wealthy Byzantine Empire controlling the Dardenelles Straight, Kieven Rus (the name of Russia at the time) grew significantly. A small city-state called Moscow began to grow into one of the largest in the patchwork of city-states that made up Russia. It eventually defeated the Tatars (Russian for the Mongols), drove them out, and seized control. Later Russian tsars expanded the Russian Empire significantly, I think Ivan the Terrible took Siberia into the empire which probably over doubled the size of it like the Louisiana Purchase did for the United States. Russia continued to grow to this size: Western border with the German Empire to the Pacific Ocean Arctic Ocean in the north to the Crimean to the south. After World War 1, the western border was pushed back to where it is today.
