Krasnohvardiiske Raion, Administrative district in central Crimea
Krasnohvardiiske Raion is an administrative district in central Crimea that covers a substantial area with two urban settlements and dozens of villages spread across its territory. The district includes multiple communities with varied economic activities and mixed settlement patterns.
The district was established in 1935 as part of the Crimean Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic and underwent several administrative restructurings throughout the Soviet era. These changes shaped the region's governance framework that persists today.
The population of 83,135 residents includes Russian, Ukrainian, and Crimean Tatar communities, each maintaining their distinct traditions and languages within the district.
The district is governed from its administrative center through a network of local councils and offices that serve the various communities within its boundaries. Visitors should note that most services and infrastructure are concentrated in the larger settlements.
The district received an official name change under Ukrainian legislation in 2023, creating a shift in formal designation while practical governance continued under different arrangements. This dual nomenclature reflects the region's complex political circumstances.
