Administrative divisions of Crimea

Add article description

The Crimean Peninsula is a disputed area which as a result of the 2014 Crimean crisis is controlled and recognized by Russia as the Republic of Crimea,

Administrative divisions of the Republic of Crimea and Autonomous Republic of Crimea (before the 2020 reform)

a federal subject of Russia. At the same time, Ukraine and most UN countries around the world recognize the territory as the Autonomous Republic of Crimea, a part of Ukraine.

The Republic of Crimea continues to use the administrative divisions of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea and is further divided into 14 districts (raions) and 11 city municipalities, officially known as territories governed by city councils.[1] However, in July 2020, Ukraine adopted a reform of its administrative divisions. According to the new divisions, the Autonomous Republic of Crimea only consists of ten districts (raions).[2] The new administrative divisions in Crimea only exist de jure, since Ukraine does not control Crimea and cannot implement their creation.

Under both the Russian (post-April 2014) and the Ukrainian (pre-April 2014) administrative systems, the territory of Crimea excludes the City of Sevastopol.

The Russian system largely inherits the Ukrainian setup, with changes to terminology and minor tweaks on the lower levels.

2020 administrative reforms (Ukrainian system: Autonomous Republic of Crimea)

According to the reform of administrative divisions of Ukraine, the municipalities were abolished, and the number of raions reduced. As Crimea was not under Ukrainian control, this new administrative division was not made law, until 7 September 2023 with the removal of a clause in earlier laws about changes only coming into effect after Ukraine re-established control over the peninsula.[4] The following raions exist in the Autonomous Republic of Crimea:[5][6]

  • Bakhchysarai (Бахчисарайський район), the center is in the town of Bakhchysarai;
  • Bilohirsk (Білогірський район), the center is in the town of Bilohirsk;
  • Dzhankoi (Джанкойський район), the center is in the town of Dzhankoi;
  • Feodosia (Феодосійський район), the center is in the town of Feodosia;
  • Kerch (Керченський район), the center is in the town of Kerch;
  • Kurman (Курманський район), the center is in the urban-type settlement of Kurman;
  • Perekop (Перекопський район), the center is in the town of Yany Kapu;
  • Simferopol (Сімферопольський район), the center is in the city of Simferopol;
  • Yalta (Ялтинський район), the center is in the town of Yalta;
  • Yevpatoria (Євпаторійський район), the center is in the town of Yevpatoria.

Municipal divisions

The municipal divisions of the Republic of Crimea are identical with its administrative divisions. All of the administrative districts of the Republic of Crimea are municipally incorporated as municipal districts, and the cities of oblast significance are municipally incorporated as urban okrugs.[7][8]

The Autonomous Republic of Crimea has no municipal divisions, as the concept does not exist in Ukraine.
