Country Rivalry
Russia and the United States have always had a bitter rivalry. The two superpowers had high tensions during the Cold War, which divided the world.

In the Bering Strait, the island of Big Diomede belongs to Russia and the island of Little Diomede belongs to the US. The distance between the two? Two miles.
