The Komunarskyi District (Ukrainian: Комунарський район|Komunarskyi raion) is one of seven administrative urban districts (raions) of the city of Zaporizhzhia, located in southern Ukraine. Its population was 139,222 in the 2001 Ukrainian Census,[3] and 134,465 .[2]
The raion contains the informal Pivdennyi (Southern) and Kosmichnyi (Cosmic) residential neighborhoods within its boundaries.
The Komunarskyi District is named after the former Komunar factory (currently, the Zaporizhzhia Automobile Building Plant) which is located within the district's boundaries. The district is located in the southeastern portion of the city, on the left-bank of the Dnipro River, just north of the urban-type settlement of Balabyne, Zaporizhzhia Oblast. Its total area is 61km2.[4]
On 6 April 1977, the Komunarskyi District was established out of a portion of the present-day Oleksandrivskyi District by a decree of the Presidium of the Verkhovna Rada of the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic (No.1901-ІХ).[4]
