From the Federal District of Siberia to the Federal District of the Far East: What did 8 years as part of the Far East give to Transbaikalia? On November 3, 2018, Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a decree on the inclusion of Buryatia and the Trans-Baikal Territory into the Far Eastern Federal District. Before that, both regions were part of the Siberian Federal District. On the 8th anniversary of the transition, the governor of the Trans-Baikal Territory, Alexander Osipov, summarized the results of this period: the gross regional product of the Trans-Baikal Territory increased almost threefold to 1 trillion rubles, investments in fixed capital increased 3.2 times to 292 billion rubles. Among the major projects and support mechanisms, the governor highlighted Odukan, the Kadlinsky Industrial Park and the Transbaikalia residents. The field of transportation is also developing. According to the head of the region, more than 900 trucks pass through the Zabykalsk international roadblock per day, and the electronic queue helps to streamline traffic flow. From the beginning of 2026, more than 220 thousand square meters of housing have been ordered in the area. New houses appear not only in the regional center, but also in the regions. Over the years, thousands of people received support: payments for the birth of children, assistance with social contracts, means for large and young families. In 2026, 1.5 billion rubles were allocated for housing orphans. In the health sector, more than 80 major repairs were carried out and 63 primary care facilities were built, including first aid stations, outpatient clinics and local hospitals. This year the region is purchasing another 341 units of medical equipment. In education, new schools are built, existing schools and kindergartens are renovated and classrooms are equipped. The village is also developing: the state's support for the agricultural sector is increasing, equipment is being purchased, land is being transferred for recycling, family farm projects are being implemented. Osipov also noted the increase in wages in the public sector: culture, sports, health and social protection, and in terms of the rate of development of small and medium-sized businesses, Transbaikalia is among the leaders in the Far Eastern Federal District.
