Samara Oblast, Administrative region in European Russia.
Samara Oblast spans across 53,565 square kilometers along the Volga River, encompassing 27 districts and 11 cities in southwestern Russia.
The territory became an official oblast on December 5, 1936, and operated under the name Kuybyshev Oblast from 1935 to 1991.
The region maintains three distinct natural zones - forest, forest-steppe, and steppe - supporting different agricultural practices and settlement patterns.
The administrative center, Samara, connects to major Russian cities through the M5 highway, rail networks, and Kurumoch International Airport.
Archaeological findings in the region include Europe's earliest pottery specimens from the Elshanka culture, dating back to 7000 BC.
