Mlyniv Raion (Ukrainian: Млинівський район) was a former administrative division (raion) in Rivne Oblast of western Ukraine. Its administrative center was the urban-type settlement of Mlyniv.
The raion was abolished on 18 July 2020 as part of the administrative reform of Ukraine, which reduced the number of raions in Rivne Oblast to four. The territory of Mlyniv Raion was merged into Dubno Raion.[1][2]
Geography and demographics
Before its abolition, Mlyniv Raion had an estimated population of 36,771 as of 2020.[3]
Administrative reform
The administrative reform of Ukraine in 2020 aimed to streamline the local government structure by reducing the number of raions across the country. As a result, Mlyniv Raion ceased to exist, and its administrative functions and territory were transferred to Dubno Raion. The reform was part of Ukraine's broader decentralization initiative to strengthen local governance.[4]
Historical significance
Mlyniv Raion was established in 1940 and served as an important administrative and cultural region in Rivne Oblast. It included several settlements with historical and cultural value. The region was also home to a notable Jewish community, whose history is preserved through various records.[5]
Legacy
Despite its dissolution, the history and heritage of Mlyniv Raion remain integral to the cultural and administrative fabric of Rivne Oblast. The area continues to thrive under the governance of Dubno Raion, contributing to the region's social and economic development.
