Russia
Russia uses the ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 code RU and alpha-3 code RUS for international standardization across databases and trade systems. Its international calling code is +7, required for telephone and SMS connections into the country. The country-code top-level domain (ccTLD) .ru is used for Russian website registration and digital infrastructure. The official currency is the Russian ruble (RUB), represented by the symbol ₽, and is the sole legal tender for domestic financial transactions. These identifiers are essential in global communications, e-commerce, and business documentation, ensuring accurate routing of calls, web traffic, and financial operations involving Russian entities.
