An '''
Etymologically, ''okrug'' literally means '[[Circuit (administrative division)|circuit]]', derived from Proto-Slavic {{Lang|sla-x-proto|*okrǫgъ}}, in turn from {{Lang|sla-x-proto|*ob-}} "around" + {{Lang|sla-x-proto|*krǫgъ}} "circle". In meaning, the word is similar to the [[German language|German]] term ''[[Bezirk]]'' or ''[[Districts of Germany|Kreis]]'' ('[[district]]') and the French word ''[[arrondissement]]''; all of which refer to something "encircled" or "surrounded".

Inherited from the Imperial Russia, in the 1920s, ''okrugs'' were administrative divisions of several other primary divisions such as [[oblast]]s, [[krai]]s, and others. For sometime in the 1920s they also served as the primary unit upon the abolishment of [[guberniya]]s and were divided into [[raion]]s. On July 30, 1930 most of the okrugs were abolished. The remaining okrugs were phased away in the [[Russian SFSR]] during 1930–1946, although they were retained in [[Zakarpattia Oblast]] of the [[Ukrainian SSR]] in status equivalent to that of a raion.▼
