RUSSIA Introductory Geography Printable Worksheet with map and flag - Free Printable

Let’s go step by step to solve this task.

The worksheet is about Russia, and it has a section with blanks to fill in using the text provided above the map. The instructions say: “Directions: With a partner, read out loud of the text at the top of the page. Then answer the questions below. Color Russia and surrounding countries as you color them.”

But looking closely — there are no actual numbered or lettered questions listed under “Directions.” Instead, we see:

- A blank line for “Name” and “Date” at the top.
- A title: “Russia”
- A paragraph of facts about Russia.
- A flag description next to the Russian flag image.
- A map of Russia with some country names labeled (like Kazakhstan, Georgia, Finland, etc.) and one empty box with lines inside it — probably meant to be filled with the name of a country or city.
- A compass rose at the bottom.
- Page number “1” at the bottom right.

Wait — actually, rereading the directions:
> “Then answer the questions below.”

But there are NO visible questions below the map. That suggests maybe the “questions” are implied from the text? Or perhaps the student is supposed to extract key info and write it somewhere?

Looking again — on the map, there’s an empty rectangular box with three horizontal lines inside it, placed over part of Russia. This looks like a place to write something — maybe the capital? Or the official language? Let’s check the text.

From the text:
> “Its capital and most populous city is Moscow. The official language is Russian.”

Also:
> “The Russian flag is a tricolor... white represents nobility, blue represents loyalty, and red represents courage.”

And:
> “Russia is a large country that extends across Northern Asia and Eastern Europe...”

Now, notice the map has several neighboring countries already labeled: Finland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Belarus, Ukraine, Georgia, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Mongolia, China, North Korea.

There’s also a small inset map showing where Russia is located globally — but that’s not interactive.

So what’s missing? The only unlabeled major feature on the map is the empty box with lines — which likely expects the student to write “Moscow” since it’s the capital and most important city mentioned.

Alternatively, maybe the student is supposed to color Russia and its neighbors — but that’s not a written answer.

Wait — perhaps the “questions below” refer to filling in the blanks in the text itself? But the text doesn’t have blanks — it’s complete.

Another possibility: Maybe the original worksheet had questions that got cut off in the image? But based on what’s shown, the only thing left to do is label the capital on the map.

In many geography worksheets, when they show a map with an empty box over a country, they want you to write the capital city there.

Given that the text says: “Its capital and most populous city is Moscow,” and Moscow is located in western Russia (which matches where the box is drawn on the map), it makes sense to write “Moscow” in that box.

Additionally, the directions say: “Color Russia and surrounding countries as you color them.” So coloring is part of the task — but since we’re solving this digitally, we can’t color. However, if this were being done on paper, the student would color Russia and maybe its neighbors.

But since the user asked to “solve the problem accurately,” and the only actionable item besides coloring is labeling the capital, I think the expected answer is to write “Moscow” in the box on the map.

Let me double-check: Is there any other possible interpretation?

Could the box be for the flag? No — the flag is already shown separately.

Could it be for the official language? Possibly — but usually capitals are labeled on maps, not languages.

Also, the text mentions “St. Petersburg was once the capital...” — so historically relevant, but current capital is Moscow.

Therefore, the most logical completion of this worksheet — given the visual layout and standard educational practice — is to write “Moscow” in the empty box on the map.

Final Answer:
Moscow
