History
editThe first villages in what is now Azovsky Nemetsky National District were founded in 1893 by the Volga Germans.
Politics
editHeads of the district administration were Bruno Heinrich Reuters (1992-2010) and Viktor Sabelfeld (2010-present).
Demographics
editThe population of the district as of January 1, 2007 was 22,246, of which 56% were Germans, 24% Russians, 8.3% Kazakhs, and 6.8% Ukrainians.[citation needed]
Being considered cultural heritage, and in order for the Azovsky Nemetsky National District to be a refuge for the dispersed and diminished Russlanddeutsche, the German language is officially endorsed, i.e., protected, supported and promoted.[6]
