The name of Russia in Russian is "Россия". The first syllable is pronounced with a hard "r" sound, and the "o" is pronounced more like the "o" in "or" rather than the "o" in "hot". The "ss" is pronounced like the "s" in "snake", and the final "i" is pronounced like the "ee" in "meet". The accent is on the first syllable.
