Rebrikhinsky District (Rebrikhinskiy Rayon)
Rebrikhinsky District is located in the north-central region of Altai Krail. The terrain is relatively flat forest-steppe, with some ravines, on the Ob Plateau. The soils are a variety of medium-humus chernozems, sandy areas in the ravines, and salt marshes. The main river through the district is the Kasmala, which flows from southwest to northeast through the district, ultimately joining the Ob River about 50 km to the northeast. The Kulunda runs parallel to the Kasmala, and forms the northern border of the district, while a third river, the Barnaulka, runs along the southern border.
Rebrikhinsky District is 75 km west of the regional city of Barnaul, and 2,800 km southeast of Moscow. The area measures 65 km (north-south), and 55 km (west-east); total area is 2,686 km2 (about 1.6% of Altai Krai). The administrative center is the town of Rebrikha.
The district is bordered on the north by Shelabolikhinsky District, on the east by Pavlovsky District, on the south by Aleysky District, and on the west by Mamontovsky District.

The East Slavs emerged as a recognisable group in Europe between the 3rd and 8th centuries CE. The first East Slavic state, Kievan Rus', arose in the 9th century, and in 988, it adopted Orthodox Christianity from the Byzantine Empire. Rus' ultimately disintegrated, with the Grand Duchy of Moscow growing to become the Tsardom of Russia. By the early 18th century, Russia had vastly expanded through conquest, annexation, and the efforts of Russian explorers, developing into the Russian Empire, which remains the third-largest empire in history. However, with the Russian Revolution in 1917, Russia's monarchic rule was abolished and replaced by the Russian SFSR—the world's first constitutionally socialist state. Following the Russian Civil War, the Russian SFSR established the Soviet Union (with three other Soviet republics), within which it was the largest and principal constituent. At the expense of millions of lives, the Soviet Union underwent rapid industrialization in the 1930s, and later played a decisive role for the Allies of World War II by leading large-scale efforts on the Eastern Front. With the onset of the Cold War, it competed with the United States for global ideological influence; the Soviet era of the 20th century saw some of the most significant Russian technological achievements, including the first human-made satellite and the first human expedition into outer space.
