Rovenky Raion (Ukrainian: Ровеньківський район) was a raion (district) of Voroshylovhrad Oblast (now Luhansk Oblast) in the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic until 1963.
Starting on July 2, 1932, Rovenky Raion was included as one of the seventeen administrative divisions of the newly created Donetsk Oblast of the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic.
Prior to then, it had been a "territorial unit of the Donbas", unassigned to any oblast of Ukraine.
[1][2] In December 1932, Rovenky Raion was included on a list of districts deemed by the Soviet Ukrainian government to be "lagging behind on grain procurement", and thus had its access to imported industrial products cut off by the government.
