The Eastern Military District (Russian: Восточный военный округ) is a military district of Russia.


It is one of the five military districts of the Russian Armed Forces, with its jurisdiction primarily within the Russian Far East region of the country. The Eastern Military District was created as part of the 2008 military reforms, and founded by Presidential Decree №1144 signed on September 20, 2010, to replace the Far East Military District with the addition of the Transbaikal section of the Siberian Military District.[1] The district began operation on October 21, 2010, under the command of Admiral Konstantin Sidenko.


The Eastern Military District is the second largest military district in Russia by geographic size at 7,000,000 square kilometers (2,700,000 sq mi). The district contains 12 federal subjects of Russia: Amur Oblast, Buryatia, Chukotka Autonomous Okrug, Jewish Autonomous Oblast, Kamchatka Krai, Khabarovsk Krai, Magadan Oblast, Primorsky Krai, Sakha Republic, Sakhalin Oblast, Zabaykalsky Krai.[1]


The Eastern Military District is headquartered in Khabarovsk, and its current district commander is Colonel General Alexander Zhuravlyov, who has held the position since November 2017.
