North-Eastern Administrative Okrug

The North-Eastern Administrative Okrug is a large administrative district in northeastern Moscow comprising seventeen separate neighborhoods across a wide area. The region connects central and outer parts of the federal city through its geographic and administrative structure.

The district was created in 1991 during a major restructuring of Moscow's administrative organization. This reorganization marked a turning point in how the city was divided and managed.

The VDNKh Exhibition Park showcases Russian technological achievements and hosts educational programs throughout the year. Visitors find a mix of Soviet-era buildings and modern installations that celebrate science and innovation.

The area is well served by multiple metro lines, buses, and trolleybuses that connect to central Moscow. Visitors can easily navigate using public transportation and reach various attractions within the okrug.

The Ostankino Tower, Europe's tallest freestanding structure, defines the skyline of northeastern Moscow. This striking broadcast tower remains visible from many points across the city and stands as a remarkable engineering achievement from the Soviet era.
