How much do you know about Russia?

[MetalDog]

A quiz from the Christian Science Monitor http://www.csmonitor.com/World/2012/0202/Do-you-know-anything-about-Russia-A-quiz/Territory  I have to say that I failed miserably with a 60%

[bob48]

Bugger it. I only managed 57% - ignorant old git that I am  >:(

[Barthheart]

Only 64%... medieval and modern Russia confused me...  :P

[Gusington]

Also 64%...meh, should have done better.

[Bison]

I know the one important thing regarding Russia.  Never attack in the winter.

[undercovergeek]

64% - modern russia was my weak spot

[bayonetbrant]

72%, and there was one I missed that I should've known better...

Dad was a Russian FAO, so I must've absorbed something from him.

[TheCommandTent]

64% not to bad but admittedly I guessed right on a few.

[Silent Disapproval Robot]

76%.  Didn't know the coat of arms, the religion one, the size of Siberia, or what's permitted in Moscow square. 

[Ubercat]

Wow, alot of us got 64%. My Russian history class a few years back definitely helped.

[LongBlade]

52%

It's history crushed me.

[Steelgrave]

I gotta 68% by choosing "B" for every answer  ;D

Ok, just kidding about the "B" part. I did score on a couple of guesstimates though. Half the battle on these type questions is eliminating wrong answers.

I know, but still, it was tough.

If I may pry, what brought you there (assuming you weren't born there) and what brought you to the USA afterwards?
