According to Wikipedia, " is a loanword in English, but it is nevertheless often translated as "area", "zone", "province", or "region". The last translation may lead to confusion, because the subdivision of "oblast" is called "raion" which is translated as "region" or "district", depending on the context."
Amimami, you may wish to check from the named "district" in the certificate whether it is an Oblast, Raion or Okrug.

Missing fourth word above should be "oblast". Sorry!
Possibly the Russian original uses the word "Oblast'" which also translates to German "Gebiet" or "Region". From a lay point of view I would say that "region" is better as it can refer to a larger area than "district" and it might be a pretty large Oblast'.
