Voskresensky District, Municipal district in Moscow Oblast, Russia.
Voskresensky District is a municipal area in eastern Moscow Oblast that covers roughly 812 square kilometers. The territory contains several towns and numerous rural communities spread across the landscape.
The district was established as an administrative unit in Moscow Oblast on July 12, 1929, initially tied to Kolomna Okrug. This connection ended in 1930, allowing the area to develop as an independent administrative entity.
The district's name comes from the Russian word voskreseniye, meaning resurrection, reflecting local naming traditions rooted in Orthodox heritage. This religious influence appears throughout the area in place names and local landmarks.
The district administration is centered in Voskresensk, where most residents live. The area is largely rural, so plan ahead if you want to explore different parts of the territory.
The territory includes four urban settlements alongside two rural communities, creating an interesting mix of town and country within a single administrative area. This combination shows how Moscow Oblast blends different settlement types in its organization.
