Subjects of the Russian Federation are endowed with individual names.The name is based on either the political will or tradition.It should be noted that such a variety of groups that integrates all the subjects of the Russian Federation, more than in any country in the world does not occur.In other countries, all the parts belong to the same category.For example, in the US - it states, in Germany - the land, in Switzerland - the cantons.
Some subjects of the Russian Federation have a name, which is based on the ethnic factor.In accordance with this, they are often present as a national state formations.In fact, all the subjects at their level Russian reproduce the ethno-demographic picture, describing the entire state as a whole.
All parts of the state vary by area, the number of its peoples, the population density.Thus, in accordance with the territorial principle, the smallest entity is considered to Moscow.The largest member states - Sakha (Yakutia).In accordance with a feature that reflects the number of people considered to be the most sparsely populated Evenk Autonomous District, the largest - Moscow.

distinctive feature of the structure of subjective Russia is joining the single / multiple actors in other regions.To date, the only Chukotka Autonomous Okrug included directly in the state.All other nine counties located within the boundaries of the regions or edges.For example, as the Yamal-Nenets and Khanty-Mansiysk region included the Tyumen region.As part of the Krasnoyarsk Territory are the Taimyr and Evenki District.
should be noted that in some countries, there are also so-called "no subjects."In Russia there is no such units.Otherwise, and as subjective rather complicated system would be even more complicated.
