The Russian Far East is a group of ten territories, all of which have approximately equal political stature as subjects of the Russian Federation (except for the Republic of Sakha which has greater autonomy). www.russianamericanchamber.org /regions/fareast.html   (905 words)

Russian Administrative Districts In theory, all Autonomous Okrugs except Chukotka are subordinated to a parent oblast or kray. The project's emphasis on ethnic territories has lead to autonomous okrugs being treated in the structure of the data and basemaps as being their own oblast-level spatial entities. This has lead to some problems where the boundaries between the parent oblast and autonomous okrug are less than clear. polyglot.lss.wisc.edu /creeca/kaiser/admin.html   (905 words)

Roman Abramovich - MN-FILES - MOSNEWS.COM Abramovich has mostly stayed out of politics—his gubernatorial post in Chukotka Autonomous Okrug around the Arctic circle (elected in 2000) is far too remote and impoverished to count. As a result, unlike his former teachers and business partners, Abramovich is neither in exile nor in jail, although the parliamentary immunity he obtained when he won the Chukotka governor position certainly helps as well. Abramovich never graduated from college and owes his success, instead, to his timely meeting with Boris Berezovsky, another Russian oligarch, and securing friendly relations with then-president Yeltsin’s family. www.mosnews.com /mn-files/abramovich.shtml   (830 words)
