History

Khatangsky district was created on 10 February 1927, before Taymyr AO was created. In 1930, when the okrug was formed, Khatangsky district became immediately subordinated to it.

gollark: Anyway, can I *fix* this issue somehow or must I just refactor the program to apiovoid this?
gollark: No.
gollark: A web application which will applicate some webs.
gollark: An apioform is an apioform.
gollark: Well, I wanted to write a thing, and my choices are/were essentially:- Rust - kind of annoying (yes, yes, I know) since I don't care that much about performance and don't mind just waiting for the garbage collector to garbage collect- JavaScript - fast/easy for me to write, but horribly resource-inefficient and it'll probably break in a few months from dependencies- Python - I don't really like it for larger-scale things, and dependency management is still fairly bees- something else, and I'd heard OCaml was neat
