Source-derived summary

Aznakayevsky District (Russian: Азнака́евский райо́н; Tatar: Азнакай районы) is a territorial administrative unit and municipal district of the Republic of Tatarstan within the Russian Federation. The district is located in the southeast part of the republic. As of 2020, 60,129 people resided in the district. Of these 4,264 resided in urban settlements and 17,482 in rural settlements.

The district was formed on October 30, 1931. In February 1963 the Aznakayevsky district as an administrative unit was abolished and its territory was transferred to Almetyevsky District. In January 1965 the district was restored as an administrative unit of the Tatar Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic.

Industrial enterprises are mainly concentrated in the city of Aznakayevo which serves as the administrative center of the district. The Romashkino Oil Field is located in the district, a result of which has been the attraction of many enterprises specializing in mechanical engineering and metalworking, light and food industries, as well as oil and gas production companies to the region.

Mount Chatyr-Tau (321.7 m above sea level) is located in the Aznakaevsky district.

Editorial summary

This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Aznakayevsky District” as human settlement in Russia. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.

Editorial reviewA dependable orientation record for establishing vocabulary, names and a first evidence trail. The current lead gives the account dated anchors—2020, 1931, 1963, 1965—that can be checked directly. The linked authority record independently contributes the date 1931-10-30. The account is most persuasive where Aznakayevsky, District and human can be independently traced.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as human settlement in Russia. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.

Evidence profile

The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 9, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q2988097. Authority coordinates are 54.863, 53.075. 1 of 3 selected statements include explicit references; 1 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2020, 1931, 1963 and 1965.

Critical limits

A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Use the entry as an orientation point, then follow its citations and revision history. Names, dates and institutional relationships should be checked against the original record.
