Magog could be Russia, because tribes of the ancient world occupied southern areas of modern day Russia. Gog refers to the ruler of Magog, but it also could be a nation in that area (not China).

Rosh was in what is now northern Russia. The name Rosh is the basis for the modern name Russia. Magog, Meshech, and Tubal initially settled in Turkey and Central Asia (the republics of the former Soviet Union) and some later migrated north into southern Russia. Thus it is very possible that the tribes of Meshech andTubal later gave names to cities that today bear the names of Moscow, the capital, and Tobolsk, a major city in the Urals in Siberia. These names, then, also cover the modern territories of northern and southern Russia in Europe and Siberia to the east in Asia. The modern nation of Russia encompasses all these areas of Ezekiel.

As if to avoid any further possible doubt, Ezekiel 38:6 adds that these invaders come from the uttermost parts of the north. This is repeated in Ezekiel 38:15 and 39:2. From Israel the uttermost parts of the north are in Russia, with Moscow being almost on a straight line due north from Jerusalem. Hence, Russia is the leader of the northern confederacy, with Gog as the leader of Russia.
