TeX (and XeTeX) doesn't hyphenate the first word in a paragraph, nor any
"word" where there's already an explicit hyphen, past that hyphen. Putting
\hspace{0pt} before the problematic part cures the problem.
Probably a macro such as babel's \allowhyphens might be a good solution:
\providecommand{\allowhyphens}{\nobreak\hspace{0pt}}
You wouldn't want a break at the explicit hyphen, would you? The
\nobreak ensures this. Thus
\allowhyphens административно--\allowhyphens территориальное.\par
will do.
Ciao
Enrico
