Putin’s ideology and political relationship with other countries are almost entirely determined by Russia's landscape and consequently continues to control the fate of millions of Russians to this day.

Story correction:

At 0:21 we say “the highlighted section from Moscow to Poland's border is just over 230km”. The correct number is closer to 1,089 km.

An additional editorial mistake on this graphic is the visuals on screen also showing a conversion from the wrongly stated 230km to 43 miles which was a typo mistake in editing which was meant to say 143 miles.

Our maps also show Crimea as part of Russia, we want to make it clear that, the international community does not recognize Crimea as part of Russia due to its annexation from Ukraine in 2014, and the United Nations General Assembly passed a resolution in 2014 calling for the territorial integrity of Ukraine to be respected.

We’re working hard each week to bring you interesting and factually accurate stories about how humanity is understood through geography. We’ll be working even harder to triple check out stats and figures before publication.

Thanks for all your support in the launch of this channel, we’re excited to continue producing these videos for you, see you in the next one - Andy
