Konotop Okruha (Ukrainian: Конотопська округа) was an okruha, a type of regional district, in the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic between 1923 and 1930. Its administrative centre was located in Konotop.[1]
History
The okruha was created on 7 March 1923 as one of the divisions of Chernihiv Governorate.[2] At the time of its creation, the okruha consisted of 11 raions.[1] On 1 August 1925, the governorates of the Ukrainian SSR were all abolished, and Konotop Okruha became one of the first-level administrative divisions of the republic.[3]
From 1924–1930, the bounds of the okruha changed multiple times.[1] On 19 August 1925, some of the districts of Hlukhiv Okruha were transferred to Konotop Okruha.[4] As of 1 October 1925, Konotop Okruha contained fifteen raions.[1] On 16 October 1925, amidst a series of minor territorial exchanges between the Russian SFSR, the Ukrainian SSR, and the Byelorussian SSR, the former area of Putivlsky Uyezd (excluding the former territory of Kurnets Volost ) was transferred from Kursk Governorate of the Russian SFSR to the Ukrainian SSR.[5] The western portion of the territory was incorporated into Konotop Okruha, and the eastern portion was incorporated into Hlukhiv Okruha.[citation needed]
On 14 June 1930, the number of okruhas in the Ukrainian SSR was reduced. Among other changes, Hlukhiv Okruha was abolished, with its former territory transferred to Konotop Okruha.[6] On 2 September 1930, Konotop Okruha itself was abolished.[1]
Demographics
As of 1 October 1925, Konotop Okruha had a population of around 588,000 people. According to the 1926 Soviet census, Konotop Okruha had a large majority of ethnic Ukrainians (94.5%), with small minorities of Jews (2.1%) and Russians (2.0%).[1]
