AB - Russia is a federal state consisting of 83 federal subjects. Each subject might be called as an independent unit and has its own historical, cultural and economic indigenous characteristics. Thus this article explores some useful research methodologies through categorizing Russian regions. Due to conceptual ambiguity, arbitrary regional divisions, and lacks of original research methodologies, area studies have been criticized by many scholars. Paradoxically, however, scholars who related to area studies have also merits to define regional concepts in creative ways. In additions, it is possible for scholars conducting area studies to employ various research methodologies from many disciplines. Area studies on Russian locality, namely, on 83 Russian federal subjects include as follows: firstly, products of area studies have to correspond exactly to practical purpose of area studies. Because area studies are to aim comprehensive understanding of regions. Secondly, area studiers have to implement field research with thorough advance preparations. Thirdly, scholars need multidisciplinary approaches, using of various sorts of concepts and methodologies. Finally, products of area studies have to include some specific information which help policy-makers for Korean government pursuing national interest.
