Western Administrative Okrug, Administrative division in Moscow, Russia
The Western Administrative Okrug encompasses thirteen districts across 93 square kilometers in the northwestern section of Moscow, bordered by the Moskva River and Khimki Reservoir.
This administrative region was established in 1991 during the reorganization of Moscow's territorial divisions, incorporating former peasant settlements into the urban framework.
The region contains numerous religious structures, including the Trinity Church in Khoroshyovo and the stone church of the Vladimir Icon of the Mother of God.
