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

2020 Ukrainian Administrative Reform edit

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.

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

Demographics edit

According to the 2001 Ukrainian census, the raion had a population of 37,185. Ukrainians and Russians are the two biggest ethnic groups in the district, accounting for roughly 40% of the population respectively. Crimean Tatars constitute a significant minority. Rural areas are often Ukrainian-speaking, while the Russian language is used by the vast majority in population centers. Crimean Tatar is spoken by a significant share of the population in almost every settlement and dominates in three settlements in the district. The historic Black Sea German population mostly migrated to Germany under the right of return as Spätaussiedler, or still resides in Siberia and Kazakhstan, to where they got deported in 1941.[3][4]
