Volsky District (Russian: Во́льский райо́н) is an administrative[1] and municipal[7] district (raion), one of the thirty-eight in Saratov Oblast, Russia. It is located in the north of the oblast. The area of the district is 3,700 square kilometers (1,400 sq mi).[3] Its administrative center is the town of Volsk[2] (which is not administratively a part of the district).[10] Population: 27,457 (2010 Census);[4] 29,977 (2002 Census);[11] 34,174 (1989 Soviet census).[12]
Within the framework of administrative divisions, Volsky District is one of the thirty-eight in the oblast.[1] The town of Volsk serves as its administrative center,[2] despite being incorporated separately as a town under oblast jurisdiction—an administrative unit with the status equal to that of the districts (and which, in addition to Khvalynsk, also includes one urban-type settlement and three rural localities).[10]
As a municipal division, the district is incorporated as Volsky Municipal District,[7] with Volsk Town Under Oblast Jurisdiction being incorporated within it as Volsk Urban Settlement.[8]
