How to make a blank Russia map
- Open the Russia map. Start from the button above. What a click paints here is one region, and there are 84 of them, all listed further down this page. Check that list before you start: it is the whole of what this map can colour.
- Write the legend before you paint. Add one entry per category and say what it means in your own words. The legend is part of the exported image, so a map that made sense to you at midnight still makes sense to someone who sees it cold.
- Fill the regions. Every click paints one region. With 84 of them, the fastest route is often to fill everything in a baseline colour first and then paint the exceptions, or to paste a table of values and let the colour scale do it.
- Export or publish. Download a PNG, JPEG, SVG or PDF at the size you ask for, or publish for a link with a preview image. Published maps show up in the community list at the bottom of this page.
What you can do
- All 84 regions, each a separate clickable shape.
- Flat colours, or stripe, dot and checkerboard patterns for the categories that would otherwise look alike.
- Colour by numbers: paste a table of names and values and the map fills itself in on a scale you choose.
- A legend you write yourself, with a heading, dragged wherever the map has room.
- Names or codes printed on the regions, on or off, in a colour you pick.
- Fill every region you have not touched in one action, or clear the whole map in one colour.
- Backgrounds, borders and border colours are all editable, or turn the borders off entirely.
- Crop the exported view, so the map fills the frame instead of floating in it.
- PNG, JPEG, SVG and PDF export at the end, with nothing to install first.
Make your own blank Russia map
Scale and population
Almost everyone lives west of the Urals, so a map of Russia at this level is largely a map of how empty the east is. Population, time zones, climate, rail lines.
Results by subject
Turnout and results per federal subject. Eighty-four shapes is a lot to click one at a time, so paste a table of numbers and let the colour scale fill them all in at once.
Where you have been in Russia
The regions you have visited, lived in, worked in or only passed through. Three colours and a legend that says what each one means, and 84 shapes is small enough to finish in one sitting.
Russia with its neighbours
The world map can carry Russia and any other countries you pick on one board, and can open several of them into their own regions at once. That is the map for anything that does not stop at a border.

Common questions
How many regions are on the Russia map?
84, every one of them a separate shape you can click and fill. The list above runs from Adygey to Yevrey.
What exactly does this map cover?
Eighty-four subjects are in this set. Crimea and Sevastopol are not among them: they are drawn under Ukraine, following the source dataset.
Can I colour something smaller than a region?
Not on this map. It works at region level, which is the level nearly every map of Russia is drawn at.
Can I put the names on the map itself?
Yes. Region labels can be switched on for the whole map, in a colour and size you choose, and you can write your own text for any region where the real name is too long to fit. On a busy map most people leave the labels off and let the legend carry it.
Can I put Russia on a map with other countries?
Yes, on the world map. Pick the countries you want, and open any of them into their own regions, so Russia can appear at this level of detail beside its neighbours at theirs.
Do I need an account?
No. The editor opens straight away, the map stays in this browser while you work, and exporting an image never asks you to sign in. An account only matters if you want to publish a map at a link other people can open.
Can I use the exported map commercially?
The image is yours, and we ask for no credit: the only mark on it is the site address in small type in the bottom corner, and nothing is drawn across the map. Nothing from the map data is added to the picture either, because we only ship boundary data whose licence is satisfied by naming it on our credits page, so there is no credit line to print and nothing for you to pass on. Anything you add to the map stays your own.
