The Amphipoda is one of the rapidly evolving orders of Malacostraca that is distinguished by a large taxonomic diversity in continental waters. This study presents data up until the end of 2013, on the amphipod fauna of the surface and subterranean waters of Russia from 26 families, 109 genera and not less than 580 species and sub-species. It summarizes the biogeographical data from different regions, discusses current taxonomical structure of this group and pays special attention to the allochtonous complex (alien species) that have been introduced to the Russian fauna over the last 100 years.
