What country is east of Russia?

East of Russia lies the vast expanse of the Pacific Ocean, specifically the Bering Sea and the Bering Strait, which separates Russia from the United States' Alaska. There are no countries directly east of Russia; however, the nearest country across the ocean is the United States. The easternmost part of Russia, the Chukotka Autonomous Okrug, is just a few miles from Alaska at its narrowest point.
