@onlmaps Image description for blind users:
Russia width is 6400 km and looks wide.
Africa width is 7200 km, i.e. wider, but looks as if it’s only 1/3 the width.
This is because Russia is closer to the pole and Africa is at the equator, so when the Earth is cut up and squished flat Russia looks bigger than it is (it’s still the biggest country in the world, but only because Africa consists of many smaller countries).
