    This may be off topic, but it’s sadly not a common occurence to see someone correct something “a bit misleading”, while acknowledging that the point is still valid.

      I mean this map/number is just straight up wrong. There might be a point about Mercator projections distorting apparent size away from the equator but in reality the line across Russia is well over 8000 km long not 6400 km.
