What is the distance between the United States and Russia at the closest point?

yme, Situated in the middle of the Bering Strait, where Alaska and Siberia nearly touch, the village of Little Diomede is home to fewer than 100 people. Big Diomede, a mere 2.5 miles to the west, is part of Russia, and the International Date Line runs between the two. So what do you expect? Depends on the people there

I am so glad that everything is divided up with Russia!! How much did it cost to buy Alaska??
