Meets At Least a "Start" Assessment

Following the checklist of criteria at WP:COUNCIL/AFAQ for "Start" articles, I see:

Usable Amount of Good Content. The basics are present (infobox data and description), plus sections on "Geography", "History", and "Economy".
Quality of Prose. Good, natural use of accepted English.
Follow MoS (Manual of Style). Exceeds the [low] Start standard of "MoS compliance non-existent". Meets C standard.
Satisfies Fundamental Content Policies. Meets applicable WP:CONPOL: Title (WP:AT), Image Use (WP:IUP), No Original Research (WP:NOR)
Referencing. Exceeds the [low] Start standard of "frequently referencing is inadequate". Meets C standard.
Verifiability Can Be Established. Meets standard. Draws on multiple government sources.
Not in Danger of Speedy Deletion. Article meets tests of notability, plus long established presence and editing history
Level of Content for Casual Reader. The Start standard is "but most readers will need more"; I think this article exceeds that and may meet C standard
Copy Editing. Currently meets review for spelling, jargon, and basic grammar.
Organization. Meets Start standard of "well organized".

Suggestions for Moving to "C Assessment": I think this article is pretty close, if not already there. The key is the level of content needed by the "casual" reader, for which the C standard is: "Useful to a casual reader, but would not provide a complete picture for even a moderately detailed study." For a casual reader, I can think of two things missing: (a) a map of the district, and (b) demographic makeup and population/out-migration trends, which are given prominence on Russian Wikipedia and are apparently a topic of significant concern to the rural districts.
