- Administrative/biographical history:
- These district committees were established at various times and as part of various administrative-territorial units (the Balta District Committee, in 1923 as part of the Podolia province; and the Liman, Tatarbunary, and Reni District Committees in November 1940 upon the establishment of these districts themselves in the newly-formed Akkerman region). They were originally called district committees of the Communist Party (Bolsheviks) of Ukraine; and from 1952 on, of the Communist Party of Ukraine. They suspended operations during the Second World War due to the occupation of what is now the Odessa region. In 1963 they were reorganised as separate committees of industrial and kolkhoz-sovkhoz administrations, resuming operations in 1964 as unified district committees of the Communist Party of Ukraine. The Liman District Committee was liquidated in 1957 upon the transfer of the district’s administrative centre to the city of Belgorod-Dnestrovskii; the others were liquidated pursuant to the edicts of the presidium of the Supreme Council of Ukraine (26 August 1991) “On temporarily suspending activities of the Communist Party of Ukraine” and (30 August 1991) “On barring the activities of the Communist Party of Ukraine.”
