This singing map will help you conquer Russian geography

6 January 2017

Russia’s a pretty big place, and it can be rather challenging to get your head around the geography of such a large nation. No fear — musical help is at hand.

Have a look at this video from YouTube channel “Kids Learning Tube”, which will have the names of Russia’s federal subjects stuck in your head in no time.

Controversially, the song also includes the disputed areas of Crimea and Sevastopol. Nonetheless, the singing subjects seem a charming bunch as they greet listeners and even give a glimpse of their local flags.

Geography has never been so much fun.
