The municipal divisions in Russia, called the municipal formations (Russian: муниципальные образования), are territorial divisions of the Russian Federation within which the state governance is augmented with local self-government independent of the state organs of governance within the law, to manage the matters of local character. [1]

In the course of the Russian municipal reform of 2004–2005, all federal subjects of Russia were to streamline the structures of the local self-government, which is guaranteed by the Constitution of Russia. The reform mandated that each federal subject was to have a unified structure of the municipal government bodies by January 1, 2005, and a law enforcing the reform provisions went into effect on January 1, 2006. According to the law, the units of the municipal division (called municipal formations) are as follows:[2]

Territories not included as a part of municipal formations are known as inter-settlement territories.

Since 2005, for statistical and tax purposes, all municipal formations are assigned codes according to the ru, abbreviated as ОКТМО.
