List of cities and towns in Russia by population

This is a list of cities and towns in Russia with a population of over 50,000 at the 2021 census. These numbers are city proper populations, instead of urban area or metro area populations.
This list includes the federal city of Sevastopol and cities and towns in the Republic of Crimea, which are "de facto" part of Russia but internationally recognized as part of Ukraine. The cities and towns in the federal cities of Moscow and Saint Petersburg are not on the list because they were not part of the 2021 census.
List.
Cities in bold are the capital city of their federal subject. Three capitals are too small to make the list: Naryan-Mar (pop. 23,399), Magas (pop. 15,271), and Anadyr (pop. 13,202). Pyatigorsk is the administrative centre of North Caucasian Federal District but not of any federal subject.
