The Russian Federation is a country in Eastern Europe and Northern Asia, bordering the Arctic Ocean, between Europe and the North Pacific Ocean. It is the largest country in the world in terms of area.

From 1922 to 1991, the Russian government was part of the Soviet Union. The Cold War existed between the Soviet Union and the United States from 1947 to the country's collapse in 1991.

Despite the end of the Cold War, political tension between the United States and the Russian Federation remains. In 2000, when the Beliskner, infected by Replicators, crashed on Earth and disabled a Russian submarine, the Russians suspected American foul play (SG1: "Small Victories")

However, the Russians recoverd the alpha Stargate (which SG-1 had beamed aboard the Beliskner to escape the Replicators) from the ocean and created their own Stargate program with help of Harry Maybourne. When the program went disastrously wrong, the United States was asked for help and SG-1 went in to do things right again. (SG1: "Watergate")

The Russians agreed to end their Stargate program in exchange for the continued sharing of information and technology (SG1: "Chain Reaction")
