Oh certainly. Russia is a country in a world called Earth on its northern portion.

(It is currently called the Soviet Union by the new people in charge but Anya decides to ignore their name suggestion anyway.)

It is a vast nation covering various cultures and ethnicities, and snow, ice and mountains are quite common in there too. The night skies over there don’t look like it’s entirely dark due to its geography. At one point, it was a big place for the arts to thrive on during my parents and grandparents’ time.
