Vladimir Oblast, Administrative region in central Russia
Vladimir Oblast spans 29,000 square kilometers between Moscow and Nizhny Novgorod, featuring the Klyazma and Oka rivers along with 300 lakes.
The territory received oblast status on August 14, 1944, when the Soviet government reorganized the administrative structure of the central Russian regions.
The region contains multiple UNESCO World Heritage monuments from the 12th century in Vladimir, Suzdal, Bogolyubovo, and Kideksha cities.
The territory maintains direct rail and road connections to Moscow, providing transportation links for its population of 1.3 million inhabitants across 16 districts.
