For history class I need to know which state (area and population wise) was equivalent to Russia. If anyone knows where I could find that out please help!!!! I have looked in encyclopedias at school and in the ones I own at my house but I can't find it so if you know of a website or somewhere I could find it at, please tell me. Thanks!

I would say Alaska.
Do a Size comparison.
As for population ?
This is an odd question. Obviously, Alaska is the closer for size & the temperature extremes of Russia. But a population match would force the different answer to be correct?
What is the rest of the assignment? Give it in full. It seems like a piece of the question is missing.

It's not a fair question. Russia's landmass is bigger than the entire U.S., its population is about half of the U.S. population - how can you compare it to a single state?
Since it's a history class, could it be that you missed three important words: "in ... century"? For example, Russia in XVth century was quite small.
