The Place
of the Black Sea Region in the Structure of Russia
Strictly speaking, the Black Sea region of Russia
consists only of Krasnodar krai,
as it is this area, which covers all the regions of Russia coming out to the Black Sea. Taking into account the closeness of the
Black Sea to the Azov Sea, Rostov
oblast, which includes all the territory bordering this sea, is often referred
to as the Black Sea region
conditionally.
Both Krasnodar krai and Rostov oblast are the parts of
Russia’s Southern federal
district – one of the seven Russian large administrative formations.

3.Southern District

5.Ural District
