Russian districts, known as raions, are administrative divisions within the federal subjects of the Russian Federation. Each district serves as a local government unit, managing various public services and local administration. There are over 1,000 districts across Russia, each varying in size, population, and economic activity. Districts are further categorized into urban and rural types. Urban districts typically encompass cities and towns, while rural districts cover smaller villages and countryside areas. This structure helps facilitate governance and resource distribution, ensuring that local needs are addressed effectively within the diverse regions of Russia.
