The Southern Federal District (Template:Lang-rus) is one of the eight federal districts of Russia. Its territory lies mostly on the Pontic–Caspian steppe of Southern Russia. The Southern Federal District shares borders with Ukraine, the Azov Sea, and the Black Sea in the west, and Kazakhstan and the Caspian Sea in the east.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>
History
The Southern Federal District was originally called the North Caucasian Federal District when it was founded on 13 May 2000, but was renamed for political reasons on 21 June 2000. On 19 January 2010, the Southern Federal District was split in two, with its former southern territories forming a new North Caucasian Federal District.<ref>

On 28 July 2016, Crimean Federal District (which contains the Republic of Crimea and the Federal city of Sevastopol) was abolished and merged into Southern Federal District in order to "improve the governance".<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> Crimean Federal District was established on 21 March 2014 after the Annexation of Crimea by the Russian Federation.<ref name="rbc">Template:Cite news</ref> The federal district includes both the Republic of Crimea and the federal city of Sevastopol, both recognized as part of Ukraine by most of the international community.<ref>Law about occupied territories of Ukraine.

Federal constituent entities
Template:Main article An official government translation of the constitution of Russia from Russian to English uses the term "constituent entities of the Russian Federation". For example, Article 5 reads: "The Russian Federation shall consist of republics, krays, oblasts, cities of federal significance, an autonomous oblast and autonomous okrugs, which shall have equal rights as constituent entities of the Russian Federation."<ref name=gov_constitution>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> A translation provided by Garant-Internet instead uses the term "subjects of the Russian Federation".<ref name="constitution.ru">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>
Tom Fennell, a translator, told the 2008 American Translators Association conference that "constituent entity of the Russian Federation" is a better translation than "subject".<ref>Template:Cite journal</ref> This was supported by Tamara Nekrasova, Head of Translation Department at Goltsblat BLP, saying in a 2011 presentation at a translators conference that "constituent entity of the Russian Federation is more appropriate than subject of the Russian Federation (subject would be OK for a monarchy)".<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>
