Telephone numbers in Russia are administered by Roskomnadzor, and the Ministry of Digital Development, Communications and Mass Media of the Russian Federation.^[2] Russia's national telephone numbering plan comprises four levels of destination routing codes with local, zone, country, and international scopes, implementing a closed numbering plan, in which the number of digits of all national significant numbers assigned to subscriber telephones is fixed at ten,^[3] with three digits for the area code, and a seven-digit subscriber number which includes a zone code of up to two digits.

Russia is a member of the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) and participates in the international numbering plan provided by recommendations E.164 and E.123, using the telephone country code 7, which is shared with Kazakhstan, designating two area codes for routing calls to that country.

Country code 7 was originally assigned to the Soviet Union, and continued to be used by the fifteen successor states after the 1991 dissolution of the Soviet Union. All but two successor states switched to new, individual country codes from the 3xx and 9xx ranges between 1993 and 1998.
