Russia is a very big country. West of the Ural Mountains is West Russia, with the reat tacked on almost as an after-thought, filling the second side. Most of the population is concentrated in the West, necessitating a better scale to provide enough space to note the many cities and the road/rail network. Most visitors fly into Moscow, then travel by train to other cities, primarily within the Russian heartland, but also by entraining for the Trans-Siberian Railway. This necessitates the second side of the map sheet, covering the vast expanses of taiga and forest from Perm east to Vladivostok. This talks about a week by train. Theoretically, it is drivable if weather conditions permit. Geographically, this portion of Russia is much larger, so can only be shown at a somewhat reduced scale.
