How many countries share a land border with Russia?

Russia is the largest country in the world, so no wonder it shares a common border with 14 other countries.

According to the CIA, the countries and length of their borders are: Azerbaijan 284 km; Belarus 959 km; China 3,645 km; Estonia 294 km; Finland 1,313 km; Georgia 723 km; Kazakhstan 6,846 km; North Korea 19 km; Latvia 217 km; Lithuania 227 km; Mongolia 3,441 km; Norway 167 km; Poland 206 km; and Ukraine 1,576 km.

You should also mind that Lithuania and Poland only border Kaliningrad which is a Russian section separated from the rest of the country.

Frank, In order to get to Poland and Lithuania you have to go through Kaliningrad.

Agree with Frank. Russia shares its border with 16 countries, not 14.

Kaliningrad is part of Russia, so of course it counts. Saying it doesn't count is like saying Alaska doesn't count as part of the US, because Canada is in between.
