Here is a map of the Eastern half of Russia. You can see Alaska in the upper right hand corner. In the lower-middle portion of the map you can find Vladivostok. This part of Russia is borderd by China to its West and Japan off its Eastern Shore.
On this Map you can see that Vladivostok is on a Peninsula very close to the Chinese border. Besides Vladivostok there are Child Homes in Ussuriysk, Nakhodka and Artem. I know what your thinking...What do kids from this region look like? Well they look just like kids from the U.S. This is a melting pot area just like our entire country!
