Where do people in Russia live? What areas have more/less people than others? And, why?
People in Russia live in a variety of places, from large cities to small villages. The most populous areas are Moscow and St. Petersburg, which together account for about one-fifth of the country's population. Other major cities include Novosibirsk, Yekaterinburg, Nizhny Novgorod, and Kazan.
The majority of the population lives in the western part of the country, which is more densely populated than the eastern part. This is due to the fact that the western part of Russia is more developed and has better infrastructure, making it more attractive to people looking for work and better living conditions. Additionally, the western part of the country is closer to Europe, which has historically been a major source of immigration to Russia.
