Detailed information on how to call Russia and other countries of the former USSR.
On this page you will find very detailed information on how to call Russia anв other CIS countries. Below you will see the most complete list of area codes. If you happen to find a more complete list - please let us know. The page also includes the list of cities that have been renamed after the breakdown of Soviet Union. The list is rather large and not alphabetically arranged. So the fastest way to find the city you you are interested in is to make a search on the page (usualy top menu "Edit | Find", or just press "Ctrl + F")
Our American clients often ask us about the reason for the system of area codes in Russia and other CIS countries to be so complicated. Their system is not so clear and logical like the US one(3 digit area code plus 7 digit number). Why do their area codes contain different number of digits (3 to 5) and the phone numbers themselves also vary from 5 to 7 digits and also a long subscriber's number (7 digits)?
The answer does not, however, lack logic. On the one hand, this system is even more logical though a little inconvenient than the American one. The area codes in Russia are approached from a different point of view. The main thing is that every city anв town should have its own code. Actually, Russia uses a different term for "area code" - it is "city code" instead. 3-digit codes, however, are too little in number, and you will not have enough combinations to give each city a unique one. A 5-digit code combined with the subscriber's number makes the number a person will have to dial too long. The way out is the following: for large cities a 3-digit code and a 7-digit subscriber's number are assigned.
For small cities it works just the other way round: a small city gets a 5-digit city code and a 5-digit subscriber's number (since the population is small, 5-digit numbers will be enough). Medium-sized cities may get 4 digit area code and 6 digit subsriber's numbers. Keep it in mind that country code, area code and subscriber's number together make 11 digits in Russia. A separate city code for each city makes it possible for a local to know if he is calling a number with the same area code - in this case he won't have to dial the area code and, what is more important, a local call is free.
On the one hand, US area codes are assigned to large areas (several cities perhaps) in less populated places, and sometimes if you are calling somebody with the same area code as you, you get charged for long distance call. On the other hand, different parts of a densely populated city get different area codes. Calls between some of them are considered local (free), yet some are long distance.
The worst about Rusian phone system is that it is being upgraded right now, and plenty of numbers are changed. Several cities have already been upgraded from 5 digit numbers to 6 digit numbers. To provide backward compatibility for those old numbers which are still 1 or 2 digits short, one or two "2"s or "0"s need to be added, respectively, between the area code and the number.
More on that below.

Area Code List
7 Russia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyz Republic, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan
Country code 7 was assigned during the years of the Soviet Union.
With the dissolution of the USSR, most of the republics outside
Russia (including republics in the Commonwealth of Independent
States) began to acquire individual country codes. Many nations
never recognized 1940 seizure of the Baltic republics, which are
now using new country codes (see below).
[If asterisk appears at end of line containing a 3-digit city code,
add '22' or '2', respectively, before a 5 or 6 digit telephone number.
Otherwise, add '00' or '0', respectively. This note was written 19
Sept. 1990; later-arriving entries will be marked "&" if such add-on
information is unknown.
[31 Oct 1992: new information from OAG Travel Planner was found for
these nations. Individual republics are listed now; any question mark
after a republic name indicates that this is probably which country
the code belongs to, but was not confirmed.
[30 Apr 1993: some nations formerly in country code 7 now have service
under new country codes. These are Lithuania (+370), Latvia (+371),
Estonia (+372) and Moldova (+373), all in the European zone 3 (see
that file for detailed listings of these nations).
[27 Feb 1995: Belarus will use +375 and Ukraine +380 effective
16 April 1995, as these nations withdraw from the +7 country code.
Azerbaijan was assigned country code +994, but implementation
appears to be limited (mentioned in BT's phone books in the UK).
[29 Apr 1995:
* Armenia changes to +374, effective 1 May 1995; permissive dialing
with +7 until 1 July 1995.
* Belarus +375 has permissive dialing with +7 until some unknown point
in 1997.
* Ukraine has permissive dialing with +7 for approximately six months
following the 16 Apr 1995 activation of +380.
* Georgia has been assigned +995; details of any changeover from +7
are unknown at this point.
[4 July 1995: From Kazakhstan update (ITU OB#584), 7-digit local
numbers following the 3-digit area code in automatic dialing. Local
numbers do not begin with the digit 0 or 8. Some 6-digit numbers are
mentioned as being unconnected to automatic dialing.
[3 April 1996: +996 is assigned for Kyrgyzstan, but there is no
word when that country code will be placed in service. ITU OB#616
lists a revised Kyrgyzstan numbering plan, but remaining within +7.
[29 January 1997: +993 assigned to Turkmenistan; Canada established
use of this country code with tariff effective 29 November 1996.
3 January 1997 was reported as official start date, with +7 invalid
for calls to Turkmenistan from 3 April 1997 (details courtesy Stentor,
Toby Nixon, and Turkmenistan Embassy in U.S. (www.infi.net).]
[Ex-USSR Country Codes Profile
In the following table, "Effective" means the date at which the
country code began service (which could vary according to the nation).
"Mandatory" means the date at which the country code 7 is invalid for
calls to that nation. There are a number of question marks since
dates are not known all cases, or may vary according to the
international calling practices of different nations.

Subject: Name Game in the CIS
Now that the Soviet Union (USSR, CCCP) is non-existent, the republics
have decided to change the names of some of their cities back to their
pre-Soviet titles. Here is a list of names which {Time Magazine}
published last month, some of which are stated in the Telecom Archives
file ZONE.7 as having city codes:
[notice 2 occurrences of Ordzhonikidze, in Russia and in Georgia]
Old name New Name Code
Leninakan, Armenia Kumayri or Giumri 7 885 69
Kirovabad, Azerbaijan Gyandzha 7 895
Minsk, Byelorussia Mensk, Belarus 7 017
Voroshilovgrad, The Ukraine Lugansk, Ukraine 7 064
[added by CGM from another source:]
Ulyanovsk, Russia Simbirsk 7 842
Any edits and amendments would be appreciated.
Does anybody know if Kaliningrad (the little oblast north of Poland
and west of either Estonia or Lithuania (sorry, don't have a map next
to me) is going back to being known as Ko:nigsberg?
