It is located in the west of the oblast. The area of the district is 1,081 square kilometers (417 sq mi).[2] Its administrative center is the urban locality (a work settlement) of Krasnaya Gora.[1] Population: 10,250 (2021 Census);[9] 13,208 (2010 Census);[3] 16,863 (2002 Census);[10] 2,326 (1989 Census).[11] The population of Krasnaya Gora accounts for 53.7% of the district's total population.[9]
As a result of the Chernobyl disaster on April 26, 1986, part of the territory of Bryansk Oblast has been contaminated with radionuclides (mainly Gordeyevsky, Klimovsky, Klintsovsky, Krasnogorsky, Surazhsky, and Novozybkovsky Districts). In 1999, some 226,000 people lived in areas with the contamination level above 5 Curie/km2, representing approximately 16% of the oblast's population.
