The US doesn't share its borders with 16 sovereign nations either, which Russia does and which is the most of any country in the world, including the country where this Virus originated from.
Not to excuse some lack of action but it would be infinitely more difficult for them to control the spread
True, but Russia's borders have been closed since the last week of March. and their border with China was closed in January. And the virus' growth has been relatively slow in Russia. It is just now starting the explode.
While I appreciate the number of borders is problematic, and that people will continue to interact and spread the disease across those closed borders, that is not the cause of their spike.
Russia response has been inept so far and the results are starting to show.
