The total area of Russia is 17,075,200 sq km. There are ten time zones in Russia, which means that the New Year is celebrated ten times: while in Moscow the Chimes strike 2 p.m., the people of Kamchatka and the Chukot Peninsula drink champaigne to the coming New Year. And when the New Year reaches Moscow and Central Russia, people of Kamchatka are already asleep :)
