The main difference between Russia and Prussia is that the Russia is a transcontinental country in Eastern Europe and Northern Asia and Prussia is a state in Central Europe between 1525–1947. It shares maritime borders with Japan by the Sea of Okhotsk and the U.S. state of Alaska across the Bering Strait.

The Kingdom of Prussia was thus abolished in favour of a republic—the Free State of Prussia, a state of Germany from 1918 until 1933….Prussia.

Prussia, German Preussen, Polish Prusy, in European history, any of certain areas of eastern and central Europe, respectively (1) the land of the Prussians on the southeastern coast of the Baltic Sea, which came under Polish and German rule in the Middle Ages, (2) the kingdom ruled from 1701 by the German Hohenzollern …

Prussia (Old Prussian: Prūsa; German: Preußen; Lithuanian: Prūsija; Polish: Prusy; Russian: Пруссия) is a historical region in Europe on the south-eastern coast of the Baltic Sea, that ranges from the Gulf of Gdańsk in the west to the end of the Curonian Spit in the east and extends inland as far as Masuria.

Prussia comes from a Baltic people called Prus, who were killed by the German Order. And Russia comes from Slavic Kievan Rus, and they killed the Germans in Königsberg and made it Russian Kaliningrad.

Prussia was dissolved due to the spoils of war following the conclusion and settlement of WW2 between the Allies and the USSR in the East.

Originally Answered: How did Prussia became so strong? The King of Prussia and father of Fredrick the Great had a kink for military, so he decided to spend almost 4/5 of all the money they earned from tariffs and taxes on the military.

As a legal entity, Prussia ceased to exist in 1947 when Freistaat Preußen was dissolved. As a country, Prussia ceased to exist in 1871 when the Prussian sovereign became the German sovereign, creating for the first time in history a country called Germany.

Russian and Prussian weren’t in the same language families either. Russian is an East Slavic language, while Old Prussian was a West Baltic language. Just to add, Russia is pronounced “Racia” in Russian and Prussia is pronounced “proosia”.

Russia and Prussia are two completely different concepts. Russia still exists while prussia was abolished in 1919 or 1945. Russia was the military giant who was formed by the unification of various eastern slav states. It was a tsardom till 1917 after which the Soviets took power.

Originally Answered: Why is Kaliningrad still part of Russia? Kaliningrad is part of the Russian Federation because, after 1945, the northern half of the former East Prussia was annexed to the Russian Soviet Federated Socialist Republic of the USSR. (The southern half went to Poland.)

Petersburg and Moscow are often described as the country’s two capitals. In 1712, Russia’s capital was moved to St. Petersburg, which Peter the Great transformed from marshland into a vibrant city of islands, canals, bridges and pastel-colored palaces. About 200 years later, the Russian capital returned to Moscow.

During Putin’s first term as President (2000–2004), Freedom House rated Russia as “partially free” with poor scores of 5 on both political rights and civil liberties (1 being most free, and 7 least free).

From a population standpoint, the US is a much better position. The US dominates the air with far more bases, fighter jets and bombers than Russia but Russia is superior on the ground with more tanks, artillery and land vehicles.
