The term Russian Far East ("Dal'nii Vostok" in Russian) refers to the extreme south-east parts of Russia, between Siberian Federal District and the Pacific.
The Russian Far East includes the territories of Primorsky Krai, Khabarovsk Krai and Sakhalin. Major cities in the Russian Far East include Vladivostok, Khabarovsk, and Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk.
The Russian Far East should not be confused with Siberia, which - at least to the Russian mind - does not stretch all the way to the Pacific.
Russian Far East also is the name of a Russian federal district. It consists of the following subdivisions:
