Nenets Autonomous Okrug — The entry claims the Nenets Autonomous Okrug is 'the only federal subject divided into only one district,' but the Jewish Autonomous Oblast also has only one administrative district (Birobidzhansky District) plus the city of Birobidzhan, making this claim fact
Nenets Autonomous Okrug — The entry describes polar bears in the Barents Sea region as a 'genetically distinct taxon,' which is an overstatement; they are not a recognized separate species or subspecies, so this is a factual inaccuracy.
Novosibirsk Oblast — The entry states that the oblast borders Kazakhstan's Pavlodar Province, but the correct term is Pavlodar Region (Pavlodar oblysy).
Novosibirsk Oblast — The claim that 'Most rivers belong to the Ob basin, with many ending in dead lakes' is an overgeneralization; not many rivers in the oblast end in endorheic lakes.
Primorsky Krai — The claim that Primorsky Krai is the birthplace of Kim Jong-il is factually incorrect; he was born near Khabarovsk in Khabarovsk Krai.

Stavropol Krai — The krai was renamed Ordzhonikidze Krai in March 1937, but the correct date is December 13, 1936.
