Random Place in Russia

How this list was compiled: 562 cities of Russia: every city with 25,000 people or more in the 2021 census (559) and the three regional capitals under that size, Naryan-Mar, Magas and Anadyr. Each card gives the region, the population and the name in Russian. Figures, federal districts and Russian spellings are from the Federal State Statistics Service's census table of every city: Volume 1, Table 5 of the results of the All-Russian Population Census of 2020, which was taken in October and November 2021 (Rosstat: https://rosstat.gov.ru/vpn/2020/Tom1_Chislennost_i_razmeshchenie_naseleniya, file Tom1_tab-5_VPN-2020.xlsx, read 2026-10-09). The figure is the row of the city itself, not of its wider municipality: Nizhny Novgorod is 1,226,076. Moscow and Saint Petersburg are one card each, and the towns inside them have none. English names are those of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_cities_and_towns_in_Russia (Kudrovo and Sunzha, which it lacks, from their own articles); region names and capitals are those of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federal_subjects_of_Russia, both read the same day. Moscow Oblast has no official capital (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moscow_Oblast), so the Capitals filter holds 80 regional capitals and the two federal cities. Six names that two cards share carry the region in brackets. The census dates, the one word gorod for a city and a town, and oblast as province are from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2021_Russian_census, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classification_of_inhabited_localities_in_Russia and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oblast. The table also counts the cities of Crimea and Sevastopol. They have no card here: this site lists Crimea with Ukraine, as its country maps do. Licence: Own work.
