Russia is a Eurasian country. The country maintains an athletics program.[1]
History
Russia was a battlefield during the Omnic Crisis, and was one of the countries hit hardest by the war.[2] Overwatch had a minimal presence within the country, so Russia had to defend itself on its own.[3] In this, they were successful, as human-piloted Svyatogor mechs were deployed to battle the omnic armies.[3] In Siberia, the Russian Defense Forces were able to defeat the omnic forces and shut down their omnium. However, the region was devastated as a result.[1] During the rebuilding process, Russia rode the wave of the mechanized labor industry’s revitalization and entered a period of rapid growth.[2]
Russia, once again a battlefield
Russia became a battleground once more in the Second Omnic Crisis.[4] Facing renewed omnic aggression from the Siberian omnium, the country ordered that Volskaya Industries increase Svyatagor production in order to deal with the threat.[5] Propaganda was employed to remind the populace of the continuing omnic threat,[3] and a coordinated offensive was made against the omnics,[4] while its Svyatagors guarded its cities.[2] The conflict has since claimed over 15,000 lives, with the international community reluctant to intervene.[4]
With news of unauthorized Overwatch activities at a museum, the Kremlin joined the international community in denouncing the vigilante actions.[6]
