The structure of the administrative and municipal divisions of the Republic of Adygea (flag pictured), a federal subject of Russia, is established and maintained by the Republic of Adygea itself. Changes to the administrative-territorial structure of the republic are authorized by the State Council. The republic's administrative divisions remain largely unchanged from the structure used during the Soviet era, with the notable exception of selsoviets—a low-level administrative unit type abolished after the new law on the administrative-territorial divisions had been adopted in May 2000. The republic's administrative-territorial divisions include seven administrative districts and two republican urban okrugs. Local self-governance is implemented on the republic's territory in accordance with federal law. The upper-level municipal divisions of the republic exist within the borders of its administrative-territorial divisions. (Full list...)
