Correct response: What is Russia?

More information about Final Jeopardy:

Following Russia’s annexation of Ukraine’s Crimea in 2014, Russia was removed from the G8 group of industrialized nations. A request by the United States in 2018 to let Russia back into the group was not taken well by Canada, with Canada’s Foreign Affairs Minister Chrystia Freeland saying Russia “made clear that it had no interest in behaving according to the rules of Western democracies”, and former Prime Minister Stephen Harper saying “Russia is more often than not trying deliberately to be a strategic rival, to deliberately counter the good things we’re trying to achieve in the world for no other reason than to just counter them.”

Since Alex Trebek’s diagnosis of stage 4 pancreatic cancer, many community members have been raising money. The Jeopardy! Fan Online Store is as well! All proceeds from any “Keep The Faith And We’ll Win” shirt sold will be donated to the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network. To date, over $370 has been raised.)

In order to redesign our merchandise area to serve you better in 2026, all merchandise sales have been temporarily taken offline. Look for a return in late 2026! All previous orders will still be supported.
