My first guess was that the middle area is vaguely close to the shape of greenland.

Sure, but what's going on with the east and west? I'm not even sure Moscow is in the shaded area which is just weird.

I even looked at the territories Russia separates itself into for governance, and it maybe matches a bit?

I feel like we're heading towards a world where we're just going to have to accept that whoever made this image just randomly took a sharpie to the map.

Russia is full of white people. We don't attack countries with white people.

Wow look how close this is to Alaska Mr Trump!

They aren't close enough to be neighbors, I mean you have to go off the edge of the map circle all the way around the back of the map and around the other edge to get there.
