Would you please tell me if "it comes from" (at 3:50) sounds natural? Maybe it should be "starts [although it doesn't there] from"?
This is a country that spans half the globe. It comes from the incredibly fun metropolitan 24/7 capital that is Moscow which is a rich prosperous european city, all the way through to much much more impoverished backwater villages.

I think he tries (or at least tries) to say "It covers from ...". That makes sense with the rest of the sentence.

But still, would it not need a noun after "cover": it covers [a space] from ... to... .?
 
Technically, yes, but it's a common enough usage without something like "an area" after "covers".
 
It comes from
I'd prefer "It extends from". I haven't heard "It covers from..." and, like you, it sounds wrong to me without an object after "covers".
