The Territories of the Russian Federation 2014 EPUB

This excellent reference source brings together hard-to-find information on the eighty-three constituent units of the Russian Federation. The introduction examines the Russian Federation as a whole, focusing on the evolution of the relationship between the central state and the regions, followed by a chronology, demographic and economic statistics, and a review of the Federal Government.

The second section comprises territorial surveys, with a chapter on each of Russia’s federal subjects, each of which includes a current map.

The third section comprises a select bibliography of books.

The fourth section features a series of indexes, listing the territories alphabetically, by Federal Okrug and Economic Area.

Users will also find a gazetteer of selected alternative and historic names, a list of the territories abolished, created or reconstituted in the post-Soviet period, and an index of more than 100 principal cities, detailing the territory in which each is located.
