geography

The administrative center of the Rajon, Azowo , is a good 40 kilometers southwest of Omsk . The population was 22,925 on October 14, 2010, including 61.5% Russians , 19.8% Germans, 7.9% Kazakhs and 5.1% Ukrainians .

At 1400 km², the Rajon is about the same size as the island of Rügen . The population density is thus around 16 inhabitants / km².

The Rajon comprises 28 villages (one of which has no permanent residents), which are grouped into eight rural communities (selskoje posselenije) . The largest towns next to the Azovo district administrative center are Beryosovka, Tsvetnopolje , Sosnovka, Alexandrowka, Swonarew Kut and Gauf.

History and present

Starting in 1893, Russian-German resettlers from the European part of the Russian Empire founded several villages in this area, in which the German language and culture was passed on until the 1990s and was thus preserved.

On October 13, 1991, a referendum was held in the villages that make up the Nationalrajon today (Germans made up the majority of the population in 16 of the villages at this time). With a participation of 71%, 82.7% voted for the establishment, which was then decided on December 18, 1991 by the Council of People's Deputies (corresponding to parliament) of Omsk Oblast. The actual founding date is February 17, 1992, when the Chairman of the Supreme Soviet of the Russian Federation, Ruslan Khasbulatov, ratified this decision. As a result of the collapse of the Soviet Union , people of ethnic origin from the former Soviet republics of Kazakhstan ( Kazakhstani Germans ), Kyrgyzstan ( Kyrgyzstan Germans ) and Tajikistan , but also from other parts of Siberia , initially moved to this area.

In order to give the Germans in Russia a perspective, the German federal government supported the Azovo national rally in a variety of ways. Teachers helped with German lessons in schools; Young journalists wrote their newspaper for the Rajon newspaper , roads were paved, businesses were built or modernized. Not all funds, however, actually benefited the ordinary local population, such as B. the new "villa district" on the outskirts of Azovo. With the deterioration of the overall economic situation in Russia in the 1990s, the willingness of Germans to leave the country grew rapidly. Many of the Germans have now left the Nationalrajon for Germany , so that the proportion of Germans in the population has meanwhile halved.

Many of those who remained no longer speak German as their main language; most come from ethnically mixed families or live in such families. However, the administration of the Rajons attaches great importance to maintaining German culture.

Wiktor Sabelfeld has been the head of the district administration (comparable to a district administrator in Germany) since 2010. From the founding of the Rajon in 1992 to 2010, it was Bruno Reiter who was re-elected in 1996, 2000 and 2005.
