Administrative and municipal status

Within the framework of administrative divisions, Volzhsky District is one of the fourteen in the republic.[1] It is divided into one urban-type settlement (an administrative division with the administrative center in the urban-type settlement (inhabited locality) of Privolzhsky) and seven rural okrugs, all of which comprise seventy-four rural localities.[2] The town of Volzhsk serves as its administrative center, despite being incorporated separately as a town of republic significance—an administrative unit with the status equal to that of the districts.[1]

As a municipal division, the district is incorporated as Volzhsky Municipal District.[4] Privolzhsky Urban-Type Settlement is incorporated into an urban settlement, and the seven rural okrugs are incorporated into seven rural settlements within the municipal district.[4] The town of republic significance of Volzhsk is incorporated separately from the district as Volzhsk Urban Okrug,[4] but serves as the administrative center of the municipal district as well.[11]
