Notes

Administrative divisions have the same names as their administrative centers (exceptions have the administrative center name following in parentheses).  The cities of Moscow and St. Petersburg are federal cities.  The autonomous republics of Chechnya and Ingushetia were formerly the autonomous republic of Checheno-Ingushetia (the boundary between Chechnya and Ingushetia has yet to be determined).

Administrative divisions:

49 oblasts (oblastey, singular - oblast')
21 autonomous republics* (avtonomnyk respublik, singular - avtonomnaya respublika)
10 autonomous okrugs**(avtonomnykh okrugov, singular - avtonomnyy okrug)
6 krays*** (krayev, singular - kray)
2 federal cities (singular - gorod)****
1 autonomous oblast*****(avtonomnaya oblast')

When using a place name with an adjectival ending 'skaya' or 'skiy', the word Oblast' or Avonomnyy Okrug or Kray should be added to the place name.
