Map Issues Russia

Hi I am facing the folowing issue when ussing filled maps with Russian regions- "Москва" (Moscow) is replaced with "Московская область" (Moscow region) in terms of geographical borders. I.e. I see Moscow istead of Moscow region 

The same issue with "Воронеж", ( Voronezh) "Воронежская область" ( Voronezh region)

My data has only the regions in it.

Thanks it advance for your assistance

@victoriavd ,

 

'Moscow' and 'Moscow Region' should be ambiguous in map. Have you tried add latitude and longitude data? The latitude and longitude data will be located precisely.
