Kalininskoye

Kalininskoye is the name of several rural localities in Russia. The toponym is formed with the root Kalinin, a surname of a prominent Soviet figure, or sometimes associated with the word kalina (viburnum), and the suffix -skoye, which is commonly used in Russian place names. Because of this, Kalininskoye appears in more than one region and is not unique to a single locality.

In Russian administrative usage, Kalininskoye can refer to different types of rural settlements. The exact designation varies by locality and may include a selo, a derevnya (village), or a posyolok (settlement). The form of the name may change to Kalininskaya or Kalininskoye to agree with the grammatical gender of the noun it accompanies (for example, Kalininskaya for a feminine-noun village, Kalininskoye for a neuter-noun settlement).

Geographically, Kalininskoye localities are dispersed across several federal subjects of Russia. Each instance has its own administrative district and municipal status, so specifying the region and district is necessary to identify a particular Kalininskoye.
