Sovietskyi Raion (Russian: Советский район, Ukrainian: Совєтський район), known by Ukrainian authorities[nb 1] as İçki Raion (Ukrainian: Ічкінський район, Crimean Tatar: İçki rayonı) is one of the 25 regions of Crimea, currently subject to a territorial dispute between the Russian Federation and Ukraine. The administrative center of the raion is the urban-type settlement of Sovietskyi. Population: 31,898 (2014 Census).[1]

In July 2020, the Verkhovna Rada approved an administrative reform in Crimea

2020 Ukrainian Administrative Reform

In July 2020, Ukraine conducted an administrative reform throughout its de jure territory. This included Crimea, which was at the time occupied by Russia, and is still ongoing as of October 2023. Crimea was reorganized from 14 raions and 11 municipalities into 10 raions, with municipalities abolished altogether.

Sovietskyi / İçki Raion was abolished, and its territories to become a part of Feodosia Raion, but this has not yet been implemented due to the ongoing Russian occupation.[2]

Notes

  1. ↑ The renaming has been effected by Ukraine's decommunization laws, but as Crimea is outside of Ukrainian control, this decision has had little practical effect.
