Vyborgsky District, Municipal district in Leningrad Oblast, Russia

The Vyborgsky District spans 7,475 square kilometers in northwestern Leningrad Oblast, featuring forests, hills, and numerous rock formations across its terrain.

The district emerged in July 1940 during Soviet reorganization and remained part of the Karelo-Finnish Soviet Socialist Republic until its transfer to Leningrad Oblast in 1944.

The district preserves 130 historical monuments, including architectural structures from different periods reflecting both Russian and Finnish influences in the region.

Transportation infrastructure includes major rail connections between Saint Petersburg and Helsinki, alongside extensive road networks linking towns within the district.

The district contains three significant ports - Vyborg, Primorsk, and Vysotsk - which function as essential terminals for international maritime trade in the Baltic Sea.
