History
Luhansk Okruha was established on 7 March 1923, originally within Donets Governorate.[1] In June 1925, the governorate system was abolished in Ukraine and the districts became the first-level administrative divisions of the Ukrainian SSR.[2] In June 1930, Starobilsk Okruha was abolished, and its former territory was merged into Luhansk Okruha.[3] Luhansk Okruha itself was abolished on 2 September 1930, and its constituent raions became directly subordinated to the Ukrainian SSR.[4]
