The most populous areas of Russia are the Central Federal District, which includes Moscow and the surrounding regions, and the Northwestern Federal District, which includes St. Petersburg and its surrounding regions. These areas are more heavily populated due to their economic opportunities, cultural attractions, and infrastructure.

The least populous areas of Russia are the Far Eastern Federal District and the North Caucasian Federal District. These areas are less densely populated due to factors such as harsh climates, limited economic opportunities, and difficult access to infrastructure. Additionally, some areas in Siberia and the Russian Far East have a sparse population due to their vast and remote nature.
