Hello,

Russia is a Federation, and its official name is the Russian Federation. The Republics of Russia are not recognized as fully sovereign states. Russia administers its territories through the names of republics just as the US administers most of its territories through the names of states. Adygea, Altai, and Buryatia are indeed federal subjects (a republic, or state) of Russia.

Good day.
