In theory, you can fit Alaska into Russia approximately 425 times. Alaska covers an area of about 663,300 square miles, while Russia is the largest country in the world, with an area of around 6.6 million square miles. This vast difference in size allows for multiple iterations of Alaska within Russia's borders. However, this is a purely theoretical calculation based on land area.
