The Russian Federation is divided into 88 federal subjects (constituent units), 21 of which are republics. The Republics represent areas of non-Russian ethnicity. The indigenous ethnic group of the Republic is known as the "titular nationality". Due to decades (in some cases centuries) of internal migration inside Russia, this nationality is not normally a majority of the Republic's population. Russia is a federation which consists of 88 subjects (Russian: ; English transliteration: subyekty, sing. ...
In a broad definition a republic is a state or country that is led by people who do not base their political power on any principle beyond the control of the people of that state or country. ...
Constitutional status Republics differ from other federal subjects in that they have the right to establish their own official language (Article 68 of the Constitution of Russia) and have their own constitution. Other federal subjects, such as krais (territories) and oblasts (provinces), do not have this right. However, as with other federal subjects, governmental sovereignty in a republic is not recognized (Article 3). The chief executive of a Republic has the title of President. Russia is a federation which consists of 88 subjects (Russian: ; English transliteration: subyekty, sing. ...

The level of actual autonomy granted such political units varies but is generally quite extensive. The parliamentary assemblies of such Republics have often enacted laws at odds with the Constitution, and the Republic's executives tend to be very powerful. However, this excessive autonomy has been lessened considerably under Putin, who seeks to impose a constitutionality that was not applied under Yeltsin. The establishment of seven large "Federal Districts" above the regions and Republics of Russia, with presidentially appointed governors overseeing the Republics' activities, has strengthened the rule of law, and respect for the constitution, in the Republics. In addition, Putin has strengthened the position of the Republic's legislatures, and weakened the executives, because the executives of the Republics are often more corrupt and more under the influence of criminal elements. The executive heads of Republics are now appointed by the President of Russia himself, but to be valid, the President's nomination must be acceptable to the Republic's parliament. There is some sort of secesionist movement in most Republics, but these are generally not very strong. However, there is strong support for secession among Tatars, Bashkirs, Yakuts, and of course Chechens. This desire for secession is, however, greatly complicated by the extent to which other ethnic groups reside in their titular Republics (Tatarstan, Bashkortostan, Sakha). (As a result of the Chechen Wars, very few non-Chechens now reside in Chechnya). Tatars (Tatar: Tatarlar/ТаÑаÑлаÑ) (Persian: تاتار) is a collective name applied to the Turkic people of Eastern Europe and Central Asia. ...

Former "Autonomous Republics" Autonomous Republics were formerly a type of nominally constitutent unit within the Russian SFSR of the Soviet Union. Today, the title is incorrectly used for the Republics of Russia, since they were formerly Autonomous Republics of the USSR under the Soviet system. However, the 1993 Russian Constitution which established the Russian Federation declared them simply "Republics". They could resonably be refered to as autonomous Republics, but they do not bear the title Autonomous Republic. State motto: ÐÑолеÑаÑии вÑеÑ

The Republics are based on areas of non-Russian ethnicity. This is known as the "titular nationality" of the republics, but in most cases is not a majority of the population. Often ethnic Russians are the majority of a Republic's population. The former Soviet name used to indicate the ethnicity, such as "Tatar Autonomous Republic", now the "Republic of Tatarstan".

In the former Chechen-Ingush ASSR, Russians comprised 23% of the population, and Chechens—58%.
