history
The area was under Mongol rule until the end of the 16th century , when it came under Russia . In 1937 the National Circle of Ust-Ordynsk Buryat-Mongols was created under the RSFSR . In 1958 it was renamed the National District of the Ust-Ordynsk Buryats and in 1978 according to the Constitution of 1977 it was renamed the Ust-Ordynsk Buryats Autonomous Okrug . After the collapse of the Soviet Union , he became a federal subject within Russia in 1992 .
On October 11, 2005, a contract for the political and economic integration of the Autonomous Okrug in the Irkutsk Oblast was signed in Ust-Ordynski . This paved the way for a referendum and the final creation of a new federation subject within the Russian Federation, whose name was to be retained, corresponding to the larger of the two, Irkutskaja oblast in Russian . On April 16, 2006, the referendum was held in the Autonomous Okrug and in Irkutsk Oblast. Over 97% of the voting population in the Autonomous Okrug voted in favor of the union with a turnout of 99%, as did almost 90% of the voters in Irkutsk Oblast, with a turnout of 68%. There was only one complaint against the referendum. Thus, the referendum confirmed the treaty and the way for the integration of the Ust-Ordynsk Buryat Autonomous Okrug into the Irkutsk Oblast from January 1, 2008 was clear.
