Demographics
The population of the district as of January 1, 2007 was 22,246, of which 56% were Germans, 24% Russians, 8.3% Kazakhs, and 6.8% Ukrainians.
Being considered cultural heritage, and in order for the Azovsky Nemetsky National District to be a refuge for the dispersed and diminished Russlanddeutsche, the German language is officially endorsed, i.e., protected, supported and promoted.[7]
