Russian Geography and its affect on Society Russia is the biggest ruled territory in the world. From Kiev, and Moscow, down to Novosibirsk, and across to Vladivostok, its lands stretch far and wide. As a result of having such a massive piece of land, made it hard to keep up with the speed of human development. This affected Russia's political rule in many ways. As it's neighbors of Europe advanced in society, Russia lacked behind. Because of the geographical location of Russian lands, Russian peasantry was hard to maintain, and their course of political history was much harder to progress as a whole before modern times. Russia lacked control of its entire population, made the people want to try their own way of thinking, and made expansion almost impossible because it's land mass was just too big to maintain in post-modern times. If Russia would have been smaller, comparable to a country in Europe, it could have been much better off with much less problems. Russia lacked complete control of its population before the 1800s. Although such places as Kiev, Moscow, and other bigger cities were under great rule and power from the rulers of the time, other places that were much farther away in the central areas and to the Fa
Part of Russia's land mass is covered in permafrost making it almost impossible to build on. Russia's geographical location makes it hard for expansion. Russia had problems with peasants that needed to be controlled. Another aspect of making expansion nearly impossible in Russia took place during the "Forbidden Years", and again in the year of 1649 when Aleksei Mikhailovich made a new law code. As well as the amount of people in charge in cities and small villages, made the people of Russia want to revolt and try their own way of thinking. With this enacted, peasants were severely restricted in movement. This made Russia not have complete control of its population. The direct translation of what was supposed to be, and what they were teaching in the Churches of Russia were different. If Russia would have been a smaller country it could have been much more advanced leading into the 1800s, possibly one of the leaders of the world for that time. Russia's geography also made expansion almost impossible because of its climate in areas of permafrost, and its restriction of movement set forth by rules that governed its society. When Vladimir came into power around the 1100s religion was brought into society again starting at Kiev. This made expansion in many areas of Russia undesirable for most people, causing a halt in expansion. Rulers could set up laws, but they would not be enforced, or possibly even heard of, until much later when the word would spread of such changes. The news of a new religion only came to people through common trade routs throughout Russia.
