The USSR was a union of 15 republics, all of which have become independent since 1991. Russia was one of them.

Russia is now a single country carved up into many administrative regions, areas and territories, similar to states.

Within those administrative regions and sometimes overlapping them, are many ethnic regions or homelands that are responsible for running their own affairs, but still subordinate to the federal government. Chechnya is a topical one at present.
