Well, when Napoleon of France invaded Russia to take over Russia, the Russians used their own geographic features to defeat the French. The Russians never even had to go into battle. You see, the weather in Russia was so fierce, that many of the French soldiers died due to the harsh weather.

Russia's weather was the Russians' very own war tactic without ever going into battle -SLH

Both cultural and physical tended to separate Russia from western Europe
Europe's diverse physical features, such as navigable rivers, fertile plains, and a temperate climate, have facilitated trade, agriculture, and urban development, contributing to its economic growth. In contrast, Russia's vast size and harsh climates, particularly in Siberia, have made transportation and agriculture more challenging, limiting its economic expansion. Additionally, the lack of navigable waterways in many regions has hindered trade compared to Europe. Consequently, while Europe's geography has fostered interconnectedness and innovation, Russia's physical landscape has posed significant developmental obstacles.
