How much of Russia are you going to do? All of it?
yep, all of it.
My main issue was, how to depict it on the map (district drawing, eh, I know exactly how I'll do that)? I was thinking, now, as a makeshift solution, do European Russia as I did Turkey, while giving Asian Russia its own section elsewhere.
I was thinking a small map on the side somewhere that's big enough to cover Asian Russia.
anyway, now on to Яossiya.

Hi, I noticed your districts' names were a bit incorrect in Russian, but while trying to rewrite them I realised I need you to clarify a few naming things
Are you using Russian transliterated names (Moskva, Sankt-Peterburg, Rostov-na-Donu) or English names (Moscow, Saint Petersburg, Rostov-on-Don)? Looks like a mix between the two in SPb.
When you use cardinal directions, are you looking for, for example, "Moscow - the West", "Western Moscow" or "Moscow, the Western district"? The translation may vary depending on this.

I am not really uniform in this. I use English names more but I use some Russian transliterated names to infuse some kind of Russian flavor to balance that out a bit.

I don't have a particular Russian translation in mind. I don't know Russian well enough for that.
My formula in general has generally been, not just with Russia but also other countries, has been [City name] then the term for [north/northern/insert cardinal direction here] or whatever. I figure the Russian name for the constituencies can follow their own rules.

Ok then. Here are all the fixed districts names.
The problem with Russian adjective endings is that they depend on the noun's gender/number (every noun has a gender in Russian). -ny is masculine, -naya is feminine, -noye is neuter, -nye is plural. Most cities are considered masculine, but there are exceptions, like Moscow, Ryazan, Kazan, Astrakhan, Perm, Tver and any city ending with -a (all feminine), Naberezhnye Chelny (plural, Chelny = canoes). If the city ends with -sk, it's 100% masculine.
Btw, awesome project. Keep up the good work.

I don't really know what Bolshe Yuga was supposed to be. It translates as "Moscow is bigger than the South". I'll just put "Moscow further south" instead, and replace Moscow southern with "Moscow closer south" for consistency.
