Administrative divisions

Within the framework of administrative divisions of Russia, Sudak is, together with a number of urban and rural localities, incorporated separately as the town of republican significance of Sudak—an administrative unit with the status equal to that of the districts.[1] As a municipal division, the town of republican significance of Sudak is incorporated as Sudak Urban Okrug.[2]

Within the framework of administrative divisions of Ukraine, Sudak is incorporated as the town of republican significance of Sudak.[3] Ukraine does not have municipal divisions.

Besides the city of Sudak the region includes the town of Novyi Svet and 14 villages which are organised into 7 communities.

Former Crimean Tatar names which were officially changed in 1945-49 and are now used only by the Crimean Tatar community are mentioned in brackets.

2020 Ukrainian Administrative Reform

See also: Administrative divisions of Crimea. In July 2020, Ukraine conducted an administrative reform throughout its de jure territory. This included Crimea, which was at the time occupied by Russia, and is still ongoing as of October 2023. Crimea was reorganized from 14 raions and 11 municipalities into 10 raions, with municipalities abolished altogether.

Sudak Municipality was abolished, and its territories to become a part of Feodosia Raion, but this has not yet been implemented due to the ongoing Russian occupation.[4]
