Sudzhansky District (Russian: Суджанский райо́н) is an administrative[4] and municipal[5] district (raion), one of the twenty-eight in Kursk Oblast, Russia. Its administrative center is the town of Sudzha.[4] It has a population of 25,119.[7]

Geography[edit]

The area of the district is 996 square kilometers (385 sq mi).[1] It is located in the southwest of the oblast, and borders with Korenevsky District in the west, Lgovsky District in the north, Belovsky District and Bolshesoldatsky District in the east, and Sumy Oblast of Ukraine in the south.[8]

It is located in the southwest part of the Central Russian Upland, a historical geographical region. The most important rivers that flow through Sudzhansky District are the Psel and the Sudzha. The district has a temperate continental climate.[8]

History[edit]

Sudzhansky District was created on July 30, 1928.[8] It was originally an administrative division of Lgov Okrug [ru] of the Central Black Earth Oblast of the Russian SFSR before being transferred to the newly created Kursk Oblast in 1934.[9]

During the full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine that began in 2022, Sudzhansky District has repeatedly been a site of attacks on Russian soil due to being on the border with Ukraine.[10][11][12]

Demographics[edit]

The population of the district has decreased over the past few decades, declining from 34,438 in 1989[13] to 25,119 in 2021. As of 2021, the population of Sudzha accounts for 20.4% of the district's population.[7]
