If Putin’s flight from Russia to Anchorage was nonstop, where did it originate?
Probably Moscow. It’s not so far that a plane would need stops. A talking head said it’s about the same flying time as from DC to Anchorage.

According to Suchomimus on YouTube, he took a train to Magadan on Russia’s East Coast. (I cannot find documentation for this)

As far as Putin goes, he’s believed to be on a six-year-old Tupolev Tu-214 with the registration code RA-64531, operating as flight RSD539. He’s only making the short journey from Magadan (GDX), and that plane is expected to land at Elmendorf Air Force Base (EDF), which is also where the meting is taking place. That’s only a 1,957-mile flight, so it should only take around four hours. After the meeting, he’s expected to depart immediately.

Moscow, but it's still a long way.
