Russia’s own list of its cities: the population of each city as Rosstat (Federal State Statistics Service) counts it (Численность населения Российской Федерации по муниципальным образованиям на 1 января 2024 года, table 22: cities, 1 January 2024), the way the country ranks its cities. A city that is not one of the list’s cities of 10,000 people or more is left out. Metro area, urban centre and city proper rank the same cities by the worldwide measures instead, so they compare across borders. One per group: the largest city of each region by this measure, then ranked together.
