The Republic of Crimea is included in the number of Russian regions on a geographical map, published on the official websites of the President and the Government of the Russian Federation. The Crimean referendum was not recognized by Western countries and their closest allies. Due to the annexation of the peninsula, the Russian delegation to the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe was deprived of votes until the 2015 year.
