Telmanove Raion (Template:Lang-uk) or Boikivske Raion (Template:Lang-uk) was one of the administrative raions (a district) of Donetsk Oblast, Ukraine, until 2020. The administrative center of the raion is located in the urban-type settlement of Telmanove, also known as Boikivske. The last estimate of the raion population, reported by the Ukrainian government, was 13,773 (2020 est.).[3]

Since 2014, much of the area of the raion has been controlled by the Donetsk People's Republic (DPR), a Russia-supported breakaway state (later explicitly and illegally annexed by Russia). [4] The raion was officially abolished on 18 July 2020 as part of the administrative reform of Ukraine, which reduced the number of raions of Donetsk Oblast to eight,[5][6] but the DPR has continued using Telmanove Raion as an administrative unit after 2020.[4]

History

The raion was originally formed as Ostheim Raion in late 1934, with Ostheim (now Telmanove) as its center.[7] In 1935, the raion was renamed Telmanove Raion after the German Communist leader Ernst Thälmann.[citation needed]

As the result of the 1951 Polish–Soviet territorial exchange, the Soviet authorities deported and resettled approximately 400 families of Boykos from the village of Chorna (today Czarna in Poland), the former Nyzhni Ustryky Raion of Drohobych Oblast that was transferred to Poland.[citation needed]

On 9 December 2014, the Verkhovna Rada, Ukraine's national parliament, changed the boundaries and total area of 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 Donbas.[1][2]

A small part of the raion on the west bank of the Kalmius river was under Ukrainian army control, from the north city of Starohnativka to the south city of Mykolaivka. To facilitate the administration, the government transferred this area to other administrative units, so that the amended area of the raion until 2020 was under control of the Donetsk People's Republic.[citation needed]

In 2016, Ukraine's national parliament, the Verkhovna Rada, renamed Telmanove Raion into Boikivske Raion and Telmanove to Boikivske,[citation needed] in commemoration of the Boykos people, who were deported from Czarna, Bieszczady County (today in Poland) after the 1951 Polish–Soviet territorial exchange. The Donetsk People's Republic continues to recognize the old name.[citation needed]

Geography

Telmanove Raion bordered 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:[8]
