Notes
Russia is a federation, which consists of federal subjects (members of the Federation). Each federal subject belongs to one of the following types:
REPUBLICS - nominally autonomous, each has its own constitution, president, and parliament; is represented by the federal government in international affairs; and is meant to be home to a specific ethnic minority;
OBLASTS (provinces or regions) - most common type of federal subjects with federally appointed governor and locally elected legislature. Commonly named after their administrative centers;
KRAIS (territories) - essentially the same as oblasts. The title "territory" is historic, originally given because they were once considered frontier regions;
AUTONOMOUS OBLAST' (autonomous province) - the only autonomous oblast is the Jewish Autonomous Oblast;
AUTONOMOUS OKRUGS (autonomous districts) - more autonomous than oblasts but less than republics; usually with substantial or predominant ethnic minority;
FEDERAL CITIES (cities under direct jurisdiction of the Federation) - major cities that function as separate regions; they are Moscow and Saint-Petersburg.
The federal districts are a level of administration for the convenience of the federal government of the Russian Federation. They are not the constituent units of Russia (which are the federal subjects). Each district includes several federal subjects and each federal district has a presidential envoy (whose official title is Plenipotentiary Representative). Federal districts' envoys serve as liaisons between the federal subjects and the federal government and are primarily responsible for overseeing the compliance of the federal subjects with the federal laws.
