Florida is a state, Kaliningrad isn't even an autonomous oblast.

Yes, but oblast has the smallest amount of autonomy. It's like a county in the GB or the US.
Traditionally, raion is a county-level subdivision, though these are now superceded by settlements (communes).
Oblast' is a top-level federation subject, comprised of these. Its's true that they are usually smaller and less authonomous than U. S. states.
