Mozhginsky District

Mozhginsky District is an administrative area in the southwestern part of the Udmurt Republic covering about 2000 square kilometers. The Vala River runs through the territory, and the area consists mainly of rural settlements with the town of Mozhga functioning as a separate administrative center.

The district was created in 1929 as part of an administrative reorganization of the Udmurt Republic. This restructuring established the framework for local governance that still shapes the area today.

Different ethnic groups live throughout the district, including Udmurts, Russians, and Tatars. These communities shape the area through farming traditions and rural customs that visitors can observe in the settlements.

The district is spread across numerous small settlements distributed throughout the rural area. Visitors should know that infrastructure is typical for rural regions and traveling between villages takes time.

The district has an interesting peculiarity: the town of Mozhga, though surrounded by the district territory, remains administratively independent from district management. This separation allows the town to maintain its own importance within the larger region.
