RATIONALE: Of the 83 political divisions (called "subjects") of Russia, 26 are autonomies (nationality- based units): 21 autonomous republics, 4 autonomous okrugs (areas), and 1 autonomous oblast (region). The amount of real autonomy, or self-rule, varies somewhat between these three categories, but republics are the "most" autonomous, having the right to establish their own official languages and constitutions, and to pass laws that conflict with those of the federal government.
