Russia is one of two deuteragonists of the countryballz comic series, and is Poland's good friend. He is an optimistic, kind, clumsy countryball with an affinity for cold weather. He is a 1’ 10” ball-shaped creature whose body has a pattern identical to that of the Russian flag. He wears a big, fluffy, brown ushanka. Russia can be very naive, which can lead him to do something stupid. But unlike Poland, he does usually think (a bit) before he does something.
