How to spot Russia from satellite imagery
Russia spans forest, steppe, tundra, and high mountain regions. A wide view of western Siberia can show broad lowlands and extensive drainage networks; farther east, rugged terrain becomes more prominent. The map here covers most of Eurasian Russia but does not include the full area across the antimeridian.
Compare the lowlands east of the Urals with more mountainous eastern Siberia. Use the river pattern to describe the relief you can actually see.
