The isle length is 948 km. Sakhalin looks like fish-shaped from above on the map of Russia. And at the same time it is the only one island-state Russian province.

Isle?
LOOKS LIKE FISH-SHAPED isn’t idiomatic or grammatical. It doesn’t LOOK fish-shaped, it IS fish-shaped.
That’s my point - I don’t think it’s officially called the Isle of Sakhalin.
