Districts

The Russian Federation comprises 86 federal subjects, namely:

• 48 oblasts (provinces)
• 21 republics (states) which enjoy a high degree of autonomy on most issues and which correspond to some of Russia's numerous ethnic minorities
• 7 krais (territories)
• 7 okrugs (autonomous districts)
• 2 federal cities (Moscow and St. Petersburg)
• 1 Jewish Autonomous Oblast

Federal subjects are grouped into federal districts, four in Europe and three in Asia. Unlike the federal subjects, the federal districts are not a subnational level of government, but are a level of administration of the federal government.
