Agin-Buryat Okrug

The territory spans 19,312 square kilometers across eastern Russia, featuring three distinct districts: Aginsky, Duldurginsky, and Mogoytuysky with Aginskoye as administrative center.

The region transformed from an independent federal subject to a special administrative division when it merged with Chita Oblast in 2008 to form Zabaykalsky Krai.

The population of 77,167 residents includes a majority of Buryat people at 65.3 percent, followed by Russians at 33.2 percent, representing diverse ethnic traditions.

The administrative center Aginskoye stands at 799 meters elevation, coordinating governance across 25 rural municipal formations and multiple urban settlements in the region.

This territory maintains a special administrative status within Zabaykalsky Krai, serving as one of only two Buryat okrugs in the entire Russian Federation.
