Russky Island (Russian: Ру́сский о́стров) is an island off Vladivostok, Primorsky Krai, Russia, in the Peter the Great Gulf, Sea of Japan. It is located about 9,334 kilometres east of Moscow. The Eastern Bosphorus separates the island from the Muravyov-Amursky Peninsula.
Off the southern shore of Russky Island is Shkot Island; to the southwest lie Popov Island (7 km long, 4.3 km wide), Reyneke Island (3.4 km across) and Rikord Island (4.1 km long and less than 2 km wide). There are many small islets close to them. The Eugénie Archipelago is a cluster of smaller islands and islets that extends further to the southwest for about 40 km.
The most interesting sights of Russky Island include Cape Tobizina, Papenberg Island, Voroshilov battery, FEFU, the Russky Bridge.
Russky Mountain, 291 meters above sea level, is the highest point of Russky Island and one of the highest peaks of Vladivostok. It’s located in the northern part of the island, near the south-western shore of the Novik Bay. The name of the mountain, as well as the island, was given in 1859 by Nikolay Muravyov-Amursky, in honor of Russia and its people, who at the time were engaged in the study of the Far East.
