Most Russian live in <u>European Russia or the western part</u> of the Russian Federation.
<h3>Further explanation</h3>
Russia is the world's largest country by area with 17.1 million square kilometres. Russia is a unique country because it is located between two major continents, Europe and Asia.
Because of its vast territory, the Russian federation is better known in two large parts, European Russia and Asian Russia (Siberia). There are some significant differences in the two regions, both in terms of demographics and climate.
Western Russia or European Russia has warmer climatic conditions and is ideal for life. The strategic location bordering European countries, such as Ukraine, Latvia, Lithuania, and others makes this part of the region more developed.
The impact is population density in the European Russian region is denser than in the Asian Russian region. The population density is around 27.5 people per square kilometres. Approximately 77% of the total population of Russia occupies this western part even though the area is only about 25% of the total area of Russia. The biggest cities of Russia located in this part, such as Moscow and Saint Petersburg.
Contrary to European Russia, Asian Russia or what we know as Siberia or eastern Russia is less crowded. This region has a very sparse population with a population density of 2.5 people per square kilometres. Russia's Asian region covers 75% of the total Russian territory and only has a population of around 23%. The sparse population in this part is inseparable from the very cold climatic conditions in the Siberian region and makes it difficult to develop.
