An okrug is an administrative division in some countries, particularly in Russia. It serves as a subunit of a larger region, such as a federal subject or a municipality. Okrugs can vary in size and population, and they often have specific governance structures to manage local affairs. In Russia, there are several types of okrugs, including autonomous okrugs and municipal okrugs. Autonomous okrugs have a degree of independence and can manage their own resources, while municipal okrugs are typically part of larger cities or districts. These divisions help organize local governance and provide services to residents.
