History
In December 1923, the Turinsky district was formed as part of the Irbitsky district of the Ural region. In 1931, the territory of the liquidated Lipchinsky and Blagoveshchensky districts became part of the district. Since 1934, the district has been part of the Sverdlovsk region.
By 1930, 51 collective farms had been created in the Turin region. By 1931, their number was 158.

Why this record matters
The phrase “human settlement in Russia” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
Vocabulary and entity names are the principal evidence signals here, because they determine the precision of every later search. The source revision retrieved here is dated Oct 5, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q429884. Authority coordinates are 58.237, 62.477. 3 of 4 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2010, 2002, 1989 and 1923.
The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. 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.
