Welcome to the Far East. It's the least populated region of Russia – only about 5% of the population lives here. Vladivostok is the capital of Primorsky Krai and it’s the second-largest city in the Russian Far East with a population of about 600,871. The city is famous for its harbor location as the home port of the Russian Pacific Fleet and being the final stop on the Trans-Siberian Railway.
