Telmanove Raion (Template:Lang-uk, Telmanivskyi raion) is one of the 18 administrative raions (a district) of Donetsk Oblast, located in southeastern Ukraine. The administrative center of the district is located in the urban-type settlement of Telmanove. Population: 13,773 (2020 est.)[3], 13,550 (2013 est.)[4] The raion was named after the German Communist leader Ernst Thälmann.
History
As the result of the 1951 Polish–Soviet territorial exchange, the Soviet authorities deported and resettled approximately 400 families of Boykos from village of Chorna (today Czarna in Poland), the former Nyzhni Ustryky Raion of Drohobych Oblast that was transferred to Poland.
On 9 December 2014, the Verkhovna Rada, Ukraine's national parliament, changed the boundaries and total area of the Telmanove Raion to encompass 812.92 km2 (313.87 sq mi). The district's administration buildings and government was moved to the Myrne urban-type settlement following the events surrounding the War in Donbass.[1][2]
A small part of the raion on the west bank of the Kalmius River is under Ukrainian army control, from the north city of Starohnativka to the south city of Mykolaivka.[citation needed]
In 2016, Ukraine's national parliament, the Verkhovna Rada, renamed Telmanove Raion into Boikivske Raion and Telmanove to Boikivske,[citation needed] in memory of the Boykos people, who were deported from Czarna, Bieszczady County (today in Poland) after the 1951 Polish–Soviet territorial exchange.
Geography
Telmanove Raion borders Novoazovsk Raion to its south, Nikolske Raion to its southwest, Volnovakha Raion to its west, Starobesheve Raion to its north. From the east, the raion is bounded by the international Russia-Ukraine border.
Administrative divisions
The district is divided into three settlement councils and twelve rural councils.
Demographics
According to the 2001 Ukrainian Census:[5]
| Ethnicity | ||
| Ukrainians | 20,442 | 57.8% |
| Russians | 7,359 | 20.8% |
| Greeks (Urums) | 6,172 | 17.5% |
| Tatars | 623 | 1.8% |
| Belarusians | 165 | 0.5% |
