Beryslav Raion (Ukrainian: Бериславський район, romanized: Beryslavs'kyi raion) is one of the five administrative raions (a district) of Kherson Oblast in southern Ukraine.[4] Its administrative center is located in the city of Beryslav. Its population was 55,976 as of the 2001 Ukrainian Census.[5] Current population: 94,103 (2022 estimate).[3]
The January 2020 estimate of the raion population was 45,931 (2020 est.).[6] However, on 18 July 2020, as part of the administrative reform of Ukraine, the number of raions of Kherson Oblast was reduced to five, and the area of Beryslav Raion was significantly expanded. Three raions (Novovorontsovka, Velyka Oleksandrivka, and Vysokopillia Raions) were abolished and their territories were merged into an enlarged Beryslav Raion.[7][8]

Before the 2020 reform, the raion consisted of four hromadas:[11]
- Beryslav urban hromada with the administration in Beryslav;
- Mylove rural hromada with the administration in Mylove;
- Novoraisk rural hromada with the administration in Novoraisk;
- Tiahynka rural hromada with the administration in Tiahynka.
Beryslav Raion was divided in a way that followed the general administrative scheme in Ukraine. Local government was also organized along a similar scheme nationwide. Consequently, raions were subdivided into councils, which were the prime level of administrative division in the country.
Each of the raion's urban localities administered their own councils, often containing a few other villages within its jurisdiction. However, only a handful of rural localities were organized into councils, which also might contain a few villages within its jurisdiction.
Accordingly, Beryslav Raion was divided into:[5]
- 1 city council—made up of the city of Beryslav (administrative center)
- 1 settlement council—made up of the urban-type settlement of Kozatske
- 29 village councils
Overall, the raion had a total of 43 populated localities, consisting of one city, one urban-type settlement, 34 villages, and seven rural settlements.[5]
Geography
[edit]Beryslav Raion is located in the central part of Kherson Oblast on the right-bank of the Dnieper River and the Kakhovka Reservoir. Geographically, it lies in the lowland immediately before the Black Sea.
History
[edit]Beryslav Raion was first established on March 7, 1923 as part of a full-scale administrative reorganization of the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic.[5] During the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, almost the whole of Beryslav Raion was initially occupied by Russian forces, apart from a few villages in the north of the raion.[citation needed] However, by late October 2022 the majority of the rural districts had been re-taken by Ukrainian forces, although the city of Beryslav remained in Russian hands as of 29 October.[citation needed] The rest of the raion was retaken on 10 November 2022, when the Russian troops withdrew from the right bank of the Dnieper.[citation needed]
