History

The Far Eastern Federal District was established on 13 May 2000 by President Vladimir Putin.[5] It is currently governed by presidential envoy Yury Trutnev. In November 2018, Buryatia and Zabaykalsky Krai were added to the federal district.[6] The seat of the Far Eastern Federal District was moved from Khabarovsk to Vladivostok in December 2018.[7]

On 15 July 2022, the first high-speed highway was opened in the Far Eastern Federal District. It united three federal highways  Ussuri (KhabarovskVladivostok), Amur (ChitaKhabarovsk) and Vostok (KhabarovskNakhodka), and connect the regional capital with Komsomolsk-on-Amur, as well as sites of the territory of the advancing socio-economic development (SAD).[8]
