Answer:

Russia is officially called the Russian Federation (RF) because it is constituted of about 85 federal constituent units.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • A federation is basically a larger government made up of many other smaller governing units of principalities.
  • The country of Russia is divided into '85 such federal units' which are administered by their own local governing bodies.
  • These local governing bodies are accountable to the central government of Russia.
  • The central government performs supervision over the smaller federal units and is the supreme parent authority.
