Languages closer to Russian

Russian is russian , right?
Well Russian is closely related to certain languages .As far as I know the common ones are Ukranian and Polish . And a lot of other languages too.
In Russia there are almost 28 different regional languages. Eventhough Russian is the sole official language of the Russian federation.
Other languages of Russian include chechen ,chuvashan etc.. All are written using the cyrillic alphabet and some extra fittings. Just like French with its accents and german with its umlaut .

Anyway Russian is also used as a common language in other eastern eruropean nations like latvia, lithuania etc.Mostly Russian is also spoken in the countries which were once a part of the soviet union.
Some countries are :
Azerbaijan
Belarus
Ukraine
Kazakhstan
Uzbekhistan
Georgia
and many more...

I read once Alaska was also a part of the soviet union..Any thoughts on that? Any historical details?
