Krasnoselsky District (Russian: Красносе́льский райо́н) is a district of the federal city of St. Petersburg, Russia. As of the 2021 Census, its population was 426,372;[4] up from 330,546 recorded in the 2010 Census.[3]
The district was established by the decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of Russia on April 13, 1973.[2] In addition to Krasnoye Selo, the district was given part of the territory of Kirovsky District (from Ugolnaya Gavan to Tallinn Highway, the villages of Ligovo (historical district) Uritsk, Sosnovaya Polyana (district) Sosnovaya Polyana, Sergievo (historical district) Sergievo, Staro-Panovo), as well as Gorelovo (district) Gorelovo, Toriki, and Mozhaysky (historical district) Mozhaysky.
In 1979, the settlement of Khvoyny (Krasnoye Selo), previously part of the Gatchina District of the Leningrad Region, was incorporated into the Krasnoselsky District. The territory of this military town is surrounded on all sides by the territory of the Gatchina District of the Leningrad Region; it is an enclave.[5] In 2003, two apartment buildings, which had previously been part of the village of Villozi, numbered 10 and 16 (now Gatchinskoye Shosse, 60, buildings 1 and 2, respectively), became part of the Krasnoselsky District.[6]
Municipal divisions
Krasnoselsky District comprises the municipal town of Krasnoye Selo, 7 intracity municipalities and the following six municipal okrugs:[1][7]
This is the only district of St. Petersburg that includes both municipal districts within the city limits and the city itself. However, the district administration is not located in Krasnoe Selo but in the municipal district of Uritsk.
Between February 2019 and December 2024, Oleg Fadeenko headed the Krasnoselsky District Administration.[8] In December 2024, Fadeenko was accused of corruption and removed from office.[9]
