Konotop Okruha

[1] On 1 August 1925, the governorates of the Ukrainian SSR were all abolished, and Konotop Okruha became one of the first-level administrative divisions of the republic.

[1] On 16 October 1925, amidst a series of minor territorial exchanges between the Russian SFSR, the Ukrainian SSR, and the Byelorussian SSR, the former area of Putivlsky Uyezd (excluding the former territory of Kurnets Volost [uk]) was transferred from Kursk Governorate of the Russian SFSR to the Ukrainian SSR.

[citation needed] On 14 June 1930, the number of okruhas in the Ukrainian SSR was reduced.

According to the 1926 Soviet census, Konotop Okruha had a large majority of ethnic Ukrainians (94.5%), with small minorities of Jews (2.1%) and Russians (2.0%).
