Editorial summary

The public source identifies “Zalegoshchensky District” as district in Oryol Oblast, Russia. This brief keeps that definition visible, then builds a research path around Zalegoshchensky, District and district.

Editorial reviewA strong orientation record where physical form, institutional use and historical geography need to be read together. The current lead gives the account dated anchors—2010, 2002, 1989, 1916—that can be checked directly. The linked authority record independently contributes the date 1935-01-18. Its value is orientation rather than verdict, with Zalegoshchensky, District and district providing the first useful test.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

A short description can identify a subject without explaining its stakes. For “Zalegoshchensky District”, the useful work is to connect “district in Oryol Oblast, Russia” to the records capable of establishing context and consequence.

Evidence profile

The strongest evidence will usually combine a dated visual record with documents produced by the authority responsible for the place. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 18, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q2217776. Authority coordinates are 52.901, 36.887. 2 of 3 selected statements include explicit references; 1 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2010, 2002, 1989 and 1916.

Critical limits

A single description cannot reconcile every naming convention, rebuilding phase or administrative transfer associated with a place. 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

Treat names, boundaries and functions as historically changeable. Maps, plans, inventories and administrative records can clarify what the place meant at different dates.
