Kostroma Oblast, Administrative division in Central Federal District, Russia.
The territory encompasses 60,200 square kilometers of hilly plains, including the Kostroma depression and the Galichsko-Chukhlomskaya elevation with numerous lakes and rivers.
The region gained its status as an independent oblast on August 13, 1944, when authorities separated it from the existing Yaroslavl Oblast territory.
The oblast contains 24 administrative districts and 6 urban districts, with the city of Kostroma functioning as its administrative and cultural center.
The region maintains strong industrial sectors, with jewelry production representing 40 percent of Russia's total output and substantial contributions from forestry operations.
Local voters demonstrated their environmental priorities in 1990 when 90 percent opposed the construction of nuclear power facilities in their territory.
