Country Code "RU"

[kevinlove]

I'm not getting back any summary results for records that contain the country code "RU" when using the field "countrycode".

The recordset of interest: https://www.idigbio.org/portal/recordsets/b3d38693-5f9b-484d-aca3-6cefcc5b08e0

Has 1,850 records from the country "russia"

Here is individual example of a record from that recordset that contains "dwc:country": "Russia" and also provides "dwc:countryCode": "RU".

We don't currently have a match for "russia" in the locality dictionary (in idb-backend/idb/data_tables/locality_data.py).

Despite the fact that "russia" could include other modern countries due to geopolitical changes, we probably ought to map "russia" to "russian federation".

For some reason the RU countryCode is not getting indexed properly for this record (there is no index term "countrycode" on this record / these records).
