Footage appeared to show Russia fans rush at England supporters after the 1-1 Euro 2016 draw in Marseille.
Charges against Russia are for crowd disturbances, racist behaviour, and setting off fireworks, Uefa confirmed.
There were issues with segregation of fans, the body admitted, promising security would be "strengthened".
Witnesses said trouble began in the stadium after flares were let off by Russian fans near the end of the game.
Some then climbed across barriers designed to keep rival fans apart, and a number of Russia supporters appeared to kick and punch fleeing England fans.
'Security issues'
Russia's Sports Minister Vitaly Mutko said Uefa had "done the right thing" by starting a disciplinary case, R-Sport news agency reported.
"It's the right thing, there were flares, there was a flare gun, there had been clashes in the stands, it's necessary to sort all of this out," he reportedly said.
"The fans were rooting greatly, but there are people who do not come for the football."
Earlier on Sunday, he was quoted as saying there were "many nuances" to what happened, and Russian officials would investigate.
In statement, European football's governing body expressed "utter disgust for the violent clashes that occurred in the city centre of Marseille, and its serious concern for the incidents at the end of the match inside Stade Velodrome".
"This kind of behaviour is totally unacceptable and has no place in football," it said.
"Corrective measures" to strengthen the deployment of security personnel would be implemented, it added.
England spectators have described a "desperate scramble" to escape charging Russia fans.
