Soviet Air Force pilot, cosmonaut, Hero of the Soviet Union Named in honor: Cape Dezhnyov (the easternmost cape of Eurasia). They founded Anadyrsk and were stranded there, until Stadukhin found them, coming from Kolyma by land. A small group led by Dezhnyov reached the mouth of the Anadyr River and sailed up it in 1649, having built new boats out of the wreckage. All their kochi and most of their men (including Popov himself) were lost in storms and clashes with the natives. In 1648 they sailed from Srednekolymsk down to the Arctic and after some time they rounded a ' great rocky projection', thus becoming the first to pass through the Bering Strait and to discover Chukchi Peninsula and the Bering Sea. Fedot Alekseyev Popov organized a further expedition eastward, and Dezhnyov became a captain of one koch. In 1643 Dezhnyov and Mikhail Stadukhin discovered the Kolyma River and founded Srednekolymsk. Named in honor: Bering Strait, Bering Sea, Bering Island, Bering Glacier, Bering Land Bridge, Beringia. The rest built a vessel out of the wreckage of Sv. Bering died there, along with part of his crew. Bering, however, became very ill and his ship was driven to an uninhabited follow-up Bering Island of the Commander group. Chirikov discovered the shores of America near Aleksander Archipelago and safely returned to Asia. Bering discovered the southern coast of Alaska, landed near Kayak Island and discovered the Aleutian Islands. Pavel, founded Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky, and headed together to North America in 1741, until separated by storm. Having organised a major Second Kamchatka expedition, Bering and Aleksei Chirikov sailed from Okhotsk in 1740 aboard Sv. Gavriil sighted the Alaskan shore in 1732.

Later, Ivan Fyodorov and Mikhail Gvozdev aboard the same Sv. Gavriil mapped some 3500В km of the Bering Sea coast and passed the Bering Strait in 1728вЂ“29. In 1725, Bering went overland to Okhotsk, crossed to Kamchatka, and aboard Sv.

He became the main organiser of the Great Northern Expedition to explore northern Asia. Returning from the East Indies, Bering joined the Russian Navy in 1703. Contiguous exploration in Eurasia and the building of overseas colonies in Russian America were some of the primary factors in Russian territorial expansion.ДЄpart from their discoveries in Alaska, Central Asia, Siberia, and the northern areas surrounding the North Pole, Russian explorers have made significant contributions to the exploration of the Antarctic, Arctic, and the Pacific islands, as well as deep-sea and space explorations. Most of these territories were first discovered by Russian explorers (if indigenous peoples of inhabited territories are not counted).

In the times of the Soviet Union and the Russian Empire, the country's share in the world's landmass reached 1/6. At 17,075,400 square kilometres (6,592,850В sqВ mi), Russia is the largest country in the world, covering more than a ninth of Earth's landmass. The history of exploration by citizens or subjects of the Russian Federation, the Soviet Union, the Russian Empire, the Tsardom of Russia and other Russian predecessor states forms a significant part of the history of Russia as well as the history of the world.
