Kirovsky City District, Kazan

Kirovsky City District (Russian: Кировский район, romanized: Kirovsky rayon; Tatar: Киров районы, IPA: [ˈkirəf rɑjuˈnə]) is a city district of Kazan,[1] the capital of the Republic of Tatarstan, Russia.

[7] Obyedinyonno-Slobodskoy District (Russian: Объединённо-Слободской район, Tatar: Берләшкән Бистә райуны) was created as a party-territorial unit on April 19, 1919.

Nearly all of them were located on the northern bank of Kazanka River, in the city part called Zarechye, hence the name of the district.

It was again renamed in 1931, this time to Proletarsky District (Russian: Пролетарский район, Tatar: Пыралитарият райуны).

[12] In mid-1950s, part of the district fell into the flooding zone of the Kuybyshev Reservoir: the entire neighbourhood of Dalneye Ustye, small parts of Admiralteyskaya Sloboda, Yagodnaya Sloboda, Bolshoye Igumnovo and Maloye Igumnovo were flooded; several enterprises were relocated from flooding zone, most notable of them being Kazan river port, which was relocated to Yaña Bistä area.
