The Cyrillic alphabet used by the Russian language encompasses 33
characters as opposed to the 26 characters of the Latin alphabet.
Unfortunately, the transcription of some Cyrillic characters into English
is not easy as several different spellings could be used. One of the
main problems is that Russian is phonetic and English is not.
The soft sign is written y in front of vowels and ' after b, d and t if
these stand at the end of a word.
Note: For technical reasons the soft sign ' is not used in the names of
operators.
There are some special cases when the pronunciation differs from the
English one:
g is never pronounced as in general
ai is to be pronounced as in eye (e.g. in Baikonur)
au is to be pronounced as a separate a and u (e.g. in nauka)
oo is to be pronounced as two separate o (e.g. in Avialesookhrana)

The Russian Federation
(with thanks to Wikipedia)
Russia is a federation which since March 1st 2008 consists of 83 federal subjects (members of the Federation).
These federal subjects are of equal federal rights in the sense that they have equal representation—two delegates
each—in the Federation Council (upper house of the Federal Assembly). They do, however, differ in the degree of
autonomy they enjoy.
Six types of federal subjects are distinguished
21 republics
Adygea, Altai, Bashkortostan, Buryatia, Chechnya, Chuvashia, Dagestan, Ingushetia,
Kabardino-Balkaria, Kalmykia, Karachay-Cherkessia, Karelia, Khakassia, Komi, Mari El,
Mordovia, North Ossetia-Alania, Sakha, Tatarstan, Tuva, Udmurtia
9 krais
Altai, Kamchatka, Khabarovsk, Krasnodar, Krasnoyarsk, Perm, Primorsky, Stavropol,
Zabaykalsky
46 oblasts
Amur, Arkhangelsk, Astrakhan, Belgorod, Bryansk, Chelyabinsk, Irkutsk, Ivanovo,
Kaliningrad, Kaluga, Kemerovo, Kirov, Kostroma, Kurgan, Kursk, Leningrad, Lipetsk,
Magadan, Moscow, Murmansk, Nizhny Novgorod, Novgorod, Novosibirsk, Omsk, Orenburg,
Oryol, Penza, Pskov, Rostov, Ryazan, Sakhalin, Samara, Saratov, Smolensk, Sverdlovsk,
Tambov, Tomsk, Tula, Tver, Tyumen, Ulyanovsk, Vladimir, Volgograd, Vologda, Voronezh,
Yaroslavl.
2 federal cities
Moscow & St. Petersburg
1 autonomous oblast Jewish
4 autonomous okrugs Chukotka, Khantia-Mansia (administratively subordinated to Tyumen Oblast), Nenetsia
(administratively subordinated to Arkhangelsk Oblast), Yamalia (administratively
subordinated to Tyumen Oblast)
Autonomous okrugs are the only ones that have a peculiar status of being federal subjects in their own right, yet
at the same time they are considered to be administrative divisions of other federal subjects (with Chukotka
Autonomous Okrug being the only exception).
The Russian Federation is divided into 83 federal subjects (constituent units), 21 of which are republics.
