Extreme points of Russia

The extreme points of the Soviet Union were identical, except that the southernmost point of the Soviet Union was Kushka in Turkmenistan, and the extreme elevation was the Communism Peak in Tajikistan, at 7,495 metres (24,590 ft). The other extreme points of Russia are the same as those of the Soviet Union.
