Russia's Population Density

The thematic map in Figure 3.1 shows that Russia's population density (the number of people per unit area) is much higher west of the Ural Mountains (an area some call European Russia). The map shows circular areas of high population density at the base of the Caucasus Mountains between the Black and Caspian Seas. With the exception of St. Petersburg, population densities are highest below 56° north latitude.
