85 subjects of the Russian Federation on the map. Cities of federal significance
We live in the world. Therefore, everyone needs to know its administrative structure. Russia is a federation. Therefore, it consists of equal parts. And the list of subjects of the Russian Federation will be presented below in the order in which they are indicated in the Constitution of the Russian Federation.
Story
Our country is the assignee With a few exceptions, the former names of cities and regions have been preserved. However, the administrative structure has changed. There were subjects with new statuses. Each of them has its own administrative center. The capitals of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation, the list of which we will give, will also be indicated.
Until 2014, Russia included 83 constituent entities of the Russian Federation. The list and names of the latter have changed several times. To date, there are already eighty-five. The Republic of Crimea and Sevastopol joined us.
These subjects of the Russian Federation were added to the list of 2014. True, the sovereignty of the Russian Federation over them has not yet been recognized by all countries of the world. And in the adoption of the Constitution, our country was divided into eighty-nine subjects. Then the so-called liquidation of national autonomies began. It lasted from 2003 to 2007. During this time, six autonomous okrugs were abolished.
General provisions
So, our country is divided into 85 subjects - administrative-territorial units. Their names, status and rights are enshrined in Article 65. Subjects may adopt their own laws and other regulations, however, they should not contradict the federal ones. Also, administrative-territorial units are allowed to have their own constitutions and charters. The latter - depending on the legal status of the region.
Only a republic can have its own constitution. All other regions adopt charters. In general, there are several types of subjects in the Russian Federation. These are the republics already mentioned above, there are twenty-two of them.
In addition, our country includes forty-six regions, nine territories, four autonomous districts, three federal cities (St. Petersburg, Sevastopol and Moscow) and one autonomous region. Moreover, regardless of the status of the subject, all regions are equal and cannot secede from the Russian Federation on their own initiative. Law No. 6-FKZ allows the entry of new territories into the Russian Federation. This will create new entities. The basis for joining the Russian Federation may be the will of the peoples living in the new territories. In addition, our country is also divided into eight federal districts. Each of them combines several subjects. However, the federal district does not have the status of an administrative-territorial unit.

So, our country is a federation. And all its administrative-territorial units - subjects of the Russian Federation - are equal. Today there are eighty-five of them.
Russia is a multinational country with a rich history. On the territory of our country there are many nationalities that have their own traditions and their own language. In Russia, there are several types of subjects: republics, regions, territories, autonomous districts, autonomous regions, cities of federal significance. Let's see how many subjects in the Russian Federation are in total and whether this value can change.
Subjects of the Russian Federation
The Russian Federation includes 85 subjects:
A detailed list can be viewed, for example, on the website of the state authorities of the Russian Federation. The number of subjects may change over time. This is due to a change in the population and economic opportunities of the territories identified as a separate entity.
So, on March 14, 2014, a new subject, the Republic of Crimea, became part of the Russian Federation, and a new city of federal significance, Sevastopol, appeared. Thus, today the number of subjects in the Russian Federation is 85. Before that, there were 83 subjects in the Russian Federation, legally fixed since 2003.
Depending on the value, each of the subjects has certain characteristics. For example, a republic has the status of a country within a country and has its own constitution, as well as legislative and executive bodies. Regions, territories, cities of federal significance have their own regional legislative bodies. All laws adopted by the subjects of the Russian Federation must not contradict the constitution of the country and federal laws.
How are the subjects different from each other?
85 subjects of the Russian Federation differ from each other in the following indicators:
- population size and density;
- size of territories;
- National composition.
Each of the selected indicators is not absolute and changes over time. The dynamics of migration and the economic well-being of the subject are partially reflected by population censuses.
