'''[[Russkaya Station]]''' is a former Soviet and Russian [[Antarctica|Antarctic]] research station that was located on the [[Ruppert Coast]], in [[Westarctica]]. The station was proposed in 1973 and approved in 1978.  Construction began the next year and it was opened on 9 March 1980 and officially abandoned after the fall of the Soviet Union in 1990. The station was mothballed in the beginning of 1990, being closed in such a way that it could be re-opened with minimal effort.

However, by 2012 it was reported that reactivation plans, although delayed, had not commenced.

The alliance between Westarctica and Molossia is Westarctica's oldest, and ranks among its most important and influential diplomatic relations. Since 2005, President Kevin Baugh of Molossia has been an important ally and advisor to Grand Duke Travis, both in his role as Grand Duke of Westarctica and during his time as the King of Calsahara, prior to its 2017 annexation and rebirth as a colony of Westarctica.
