How did Russia get and remain so big?
Actually, Russia today is smaller than anytime in its history in the past 300 years. Russian Empire rapidly expanded in all directions for the past 4 centuries. In the 17th century it started colonization of Siberia. In 18th century it expanded to the North following the victory in the Seven Year War with Sweden, to the South following the defeat of Turkey and to North America with its distant colony in Alaska. In 1860s Russia sold Alaska but acquired new lands in the Far East from China (now known as the Russian Far East). Russia also colonized colonized Manchuria (Northern China) and Central Asia reaching as far as Afghanistan. This process of rapid expansion was reverted in early 20th century. Russia gave up Sakhalin Islands, Finland and Poland. In 1991, Russia lost 1/4 of its territories as a result of the dissolution of the USSR, including its some of its historical lands such as Ukraine and Belarus. When looking at the map of Russia below, consider this - once century ago Russia was 30% larger than it is now. The square on this map of Russia shows the western Russia where Russian language, culture, tradition and empire have originated. The Western Russia stretches to the Ural mountains in the East which divide Eurasia to Europe and Asia. The blue narrow body of water on this map of Russia indicates the word's largest body of fresh water - Lake Baikal. The city of Novosibirsk that you can see in the middle of this map of Russia is considered a capital of Siberia.

What year did Europe put Poland on the map?
Poland first appeared on the map with the formation of the Polish Kingdom in 1025. Poland then formed a commonwealth with Lithuania in 1596, forming the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. In 1795, Poland was partitioned between Prussia, Russia, and Austria, ending the sovereignty of the nation and abolishing the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. From 1807-1815, Napoléon established the Duchy of Warsaw, in which Poland existed as a puppet state to France. It was then partitioned between Prussia and Russia. Poland would not appear on the map again until the end of World War I in 1918, where Russia and Germany ceded land. Poland was then invaded by Russia and Germany in 1939, starting World War II. Poland was reestablished as a nation, but acted as a communist puppet state of Russia from 1945 until the fall of communism in the early 1990s. Today, Poland exists a democratic nation and is labeled as the Polish Third Republic.
