Distance from the eastern most part of Russia to Moscow is 6300 km. It is literally on the other side of the planet, the longitude seperation is almost 200 degrees.

Do you know what that means? It is faster to go from Alaska through Canada, the Atlantic ocean, then through Europe to get to Moscow than it is to go by the eastern side of Russia.
