This made me ask a person whom I trust a lot with subdivisions of
Russia, he could not yet give a law. He says the ru WP page is mixing
administrative and municipal divisions and that the map

is wrong.
According to him the New Siberian Islands are not part of any
administrative nor municipal divisions. They are also regarded as
uninhabited.
One sees a border change in Wikipedia at:

So, the claim that the New Siberian Islands are part of
Bulunsky is maybe only a Wikipedia fairy tale.
I change my proposal from
NEW Asia/Khandyga containing Bulunsky (only New Siberian Islands),
Tomponsky, Ust-Maysky
to
NEW Asia/Khandyga Tomponsky, Ust-Maysky
Still I miss any laws supporting the old zone set up. Only sources I
found where claims by one tz contributor and by the CIA factbook, but
maybe the former based his claim on the latter.
