Yeah the way some countries have lower level places set up it’s a huge pain to make atlases. Because of this, I always atlas at the highest level I need. It may seem odd to add all of Russia when you only need a piece, but it’s not incorrect and it’s the most efficient way to do things. There are some other posts addressing things like this.
