Donetsk - Government and Administrative Divisions

Government and Administrative Divisions

While Donetsk is the administrative centre of the Donetsk Oblast (province), the city is the capital of the Donetsk City Municipality. However, Donetsk is a city of oblast subordinance, thus being subject directly to the oblast authorities rather to the Donetsk City Municipality housed in the city itself.

The territory of Donetsk is divided into 9 administrative raions (districts). In addition, every raion consists of raion councils, which are subordinate to the Donetsk City Council.

Famous quotes containing the words government and/or divisions:

    “We have got rid of the fetish of the divine right of kings, and that slavery is of divine origin and authority. But the divine right of property has taken its place. The tendency plainly is towards ... “a government of the rich, by the rich, and for the rich.””
    —Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)

    “Nothing does more to activate Christian divisions than talk about Christian unity.”
    —Conor Cruise O’Brien (b. 1917)
