Actually this is a bit misleading. If you check google maps you can see that those straight lines are not the shortest path between those points. Also, that’s not the longest distance between 2 points in Russia.
The point still stands that these two distances are practically the same when they appear vastly different in a 2D projectio.
Edit: I might have placed the marker in Crimea. Sorry about that. The point still basically stands.
