[edit] Old talk

Blast these languages without articles!

The Russian wikipedia says states, "райцентр в Московской области". That is "regional center in Moscow Oblast." I don't know enough about oblasts and such to be able to interpret that as the regional center of the Moscow Oblast (like a county seat??), or a regional center in the Moscow Oblast (more than one??). It's that "в" preposition, "in" , as opposed to the genetive ("of"), that fails to clarify. Any help from a native? --Kbh3rd 15:34, 19 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Moscow Oblast = Moscow region, Oblast --212.5.81.211 15:48, 8 November 2005 (UTC)

Да, да, это уже узнал. But a closer reading of the oblast and raion articles make it fairly clear that raioni are usually subdivisions of oblasti, so the answer to my question is likely that Kolomna is a regional or district central city. (Just like this article says – when did that get in there?? ;-) Kbh3rd 16:12, 8 November 2005 (UTC)
Each oblast has its own regional center (oblastnoj centr), and is further broken down into rajons. The rajons have their own regional centers (rajcentr). So, for example, the Ukrainian Dnipropetrovs'ka Oblast has its capital at Dnipropetrovs'k, but the Dniprodzerzhyns'kyj rajon within that oblast has its own capital at Dniprodzerzhyns'k.
