I managed to find boundaries in KML-format. Actually it is a
requirement now for my application to use KML-files loaded from
server. Only if it were so easy... Only if all countries were just
polygons... But Russia is not, and USA and Denmark and many others too
- they consist of multiple polygons (MultiGeometry in KML). Only KML-
parser I managed to find (Kml22 in GoogleMapsAPIUtilityLibrary.swc:
http://gmaps-utility-library-flash.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/docs/index.html
) does not understand tag <MultiGeometry> (and any of its children
consequently).

It seems, I am into a bad luck of writing some hardcoded parser just
for my countries (fortunately they consist only of polygons and
nothing else)...
