Russia is the largest country in the world, with over 17 million miles of land spanning from eastern Europe to northern Asia.
With its harsh landscape and unforgiving climate, it's no wonder that after 2 years of the apocalypse, from 71 doomsday pillars that arrived on the motherland only half had been visited by the survivors.
This half was the one on the southern parth of Russia, the one near the big cities. Meanwhile, the one further on the north was only visited by the best and strongest people. The majority of people who came to these pillars were those with A and B talents. They were referred to as spirit enhancers.
As a result, those with C talent were actually left out and only could depend on hunting mutated animals or abyss creatures, a situation currently faced by Viktor.
