Russia was and is the largest country in the world. Its geography of N.-S. rivers and E.-W. commerce, plus, importantly, the mostly flat terrain, made it very suited to develop railroads as the basic mode of transportation.
Today Russian Railways, a state-owned railway company, is one of the biggest railway companies in the world with 0.95 million employees ^[1] and a monopoly within Russia. The total length of line used by the Russian Railways is, at 85,500 kilometres (53,130 mi),^[2] one of the largest in the world, exceeded only by the United States.^[3]
