Pavlodar Region (Kazakh: Павлодар облысы, romanized: Pavlodar oblysy; Russian: Павлодарская область, romanized: Pavlodarskaya oblast) is a region of Kazakhstan. The population of the region was 742,475 (2009 Census results);[7] and 806,983 (1999 Census results).[7] The latest official estimate (as at the start of 2022) was 756,511.[8] Its capital is the city of Pavlodar, which had a population of 360,014 at the start of 2018.[9] Many people, especially Ukrainians, migrated to Pavlodar in Nikita Khrushchev's Virgin Lands Campaign.

The Bayanaul National Park, a protected area of the Kazakh Uplands, is located in the Bayanaul Range, within 100 km of Ekibastuz.

Geography

Pavlodar borders Russia (Altai Krai, Omsk Oblast and Novosibirsk Oblast) to the north, and also borders the following Kazakh regions: Akmola (to the west), East Kazakhstan (to the south-east), North Kazakhstan (to the north-west), and Karaganda (to the south). The southern part of the district is in the Kazakh Uplands, while the northern part falls within the Baraba Plain and Kulunda Plain. The highest point of the region is Akbet, a 1,022 meters (3,353 ft) high summit located in the Bayanaul Range.[10]

The Irtysh River flows from the Altay Mountains in China to Russia through the region; the Irtysh–Karaganda Canal crosses the western part, taking some of the river's water to Ekibastuz and Karaganda. The Sileti river also flows through the region. There are many lakes in the region, most of them saline, such as Siletiteniz, Kyzylkak, Koryakovka, Zhasybai, Zhalauly, Shureksor, Kudaikol, Karasor, Zhamantuz, Kalkaman, Tuzdysor, Maraldy, Zharagash and Ulken Tobylzhan, among others.[10][11] Two of them are soda lakes: lake Borli and lake Uyaly.[12]

Administrative divisions

The region is administratively divided into ten districts (aydany) and three cities of regional importance - Pavlodar, Aksu, and Ekibastuz.[13] The city administrations and districts with their populations[14] are:
