Site administration and main living quarters are in the settlement of Pervomaysky. The site occupies about 121,000 hectares of steppe, making it the largest in Orenburg Oblast.[1]

Due to the specific utilization of this steppe area (Donguz Steppe), it is the last in Europe remaining virgin land with representative flora and fauna.[1]
