🇷🇺 How to recognise Russia in Street View
Russia is in Central & Eastern Europe. Here's how to tell you've landed in Russia when Far Fetched drops you there in Street View.
| Drive on | the right ➡️ |
|---|---|
| Signs in | Russian (Cyrillic) |
| Region | Central & Eastern Europe |
| Borders | Azerbaijan, Belarus, China, Estonia, Finland, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Latvia, Lithuania, Mongolia, North Korea, Norway, Poland and Ukraine |
Clues to look for
Signs are in Cyrillic (Russian has letters like ы and э). Huge birch and pine forests, long straight roads, wooden village houses and big apartment blocks in cities.
Driving side
Cars in Russia drive on the right. So do Czechia, Slovakia, Hungary, Romania and Moldova, which are also in Central & Eastern Europe. Most of the world drives on the right, so this alone won't narrow it down much: check the signs next.
Countries it's easy to confuse with Russia
