Webmaster tools allow you to choose to link your site to a region, and many site owners specify "Russia" in hopes of greater visibility and traffic throughout the country. However, this is not always justified, and such a setting may be erroneous.
If your site is not tied to a specific city, for example, Moscow, but only to the “Russia” region, then the site will not have priority in any specific region. For example, if your site is not linked to Moscow, and a user in this city enters a query, then sites linked to Moscow will be shown higher for geo-dependent queries. The same applies to other cities.
It is recommended that if you do not have a specific city to reference, use the capital of the country as the region. This will provide you with priority in search results compared to sites that are not tied to any city.
Thus, it makes no sense to set the region to “Russia” or any large region, for example, “Volga region”. It's best to target more specific locations for better search engine results.
