Krasninsky District (Russian: Кра́снинский райо́н) is an administrative[1] and municipal[3] district (raion), one of the twenty-five in Smolensk Oblast, Russia. It is located in the west of the oblast and borders with Rudnyansky District in the north, Smolensky District in the east, Monastyrshchinsky District in the south, and with Belarus in the west. The area of the district is 1,507.67 square kilometers (582.11 sq mi).[1] Its administrative center is the urban locality (a settlement) of Krasny.[1] Population: 12,895 (2010 Census);[4] 15,537 (2002 Census);[7] 18,758 (1989 Census).[8] The population of Krasny accounts for 33.7% of the district's total population.[4]

Geography

Most of the district's territory is located on the Smolensk-Krasninsky Plateau.

The Mereya River, a tributary of the Dnieper, flows in the north of the district and forms a natural border between Krasninsky District of Russia and Vitebsk Oblast of Belarus, itself part of the Belarus–Russia border. Soils of the area are formed mostly of loam, sand, and sandy loam. Forests cover 29.3% of the territory.

History

Krasninsky Uyezd, a predecessor of the district, was first established in 1775. In 1796, the uyezd was abolished but re-established in 1802. In 1929, the territories of the former Krasninsky and Orshansky Uyezds were combined under the name of Krasninsky District.[citation needed] In 1963, the district was again abolished; its territory was incorporated into Smolensky District.[citation needed] Krasninsky District was restored to its current form in 1965.[citation needed]

Economy

The district's economy is mostly agricultural, specializing in beef and dairy cattle, potatoes, and flax. Industry includes flax and dairy processing, vegetable processing, and manufacture of drainage pipes (all in Krasny and Gusino).

Transportation

The Moscow–Brest rail line and the M1 "Belarus" Highway run through the district.
