- Administrative/biographical history:
- These bodies were organised by edict (7 March 1923) of the All-Ukrainian Central Executive Committee (VUTsIK) as executive committees of district councils of workers’, peasants’, and Red Army deputies. Between district congresses of councils, they were the supreme administrative and executive authorities in the territory of their respective districts, and supervised operations of settlement and village councils. They were originally under the jurisdiction of the Kherson Area Executive Committee; from 1932 on, the Odessa Regional Executive Committee; from 1937 on, the Nikolaev Regional Executive Committee; and from March 1944 on, the Kherson Regional Executive Committee. They suspended operations in 1941-44 due to the German occupation. Upon the adoption of the USSR Constitution of 1936 and the Ukrainian SSR Constitution of 1937, they were called executive committees of district councils of toilers’ deputies; and pursuant to the USSR Constitution of 1977 and the Ukrainian SSR Constitution of 1978, executive committees of district councils of people’s deputies. They were disbanded upon the formation of district state administrations, which were established, on their basis, by the edict of the president of Ukraine (14 April 1992) “On the statute on local state administration” and the law of Ukraine (9 April 1999) “On local state administrations.”
