History
Starting mid-April 2014 pro-Russian separatists captured several towns and raions in Luhansk Oblast;[3][4] Ukrainian forces reportedly removed the separatists from the last village in the Novoaidar Raion under separatist control, Krymsky, on 20 October 2014.[5]
To facilitate the governance of Luhansk Oblast during the War in Donbass, the Verkhovna Rada on 7 October 2014 made some changes in the administrative divisions, so that the localities in the government-controlled areas were grouped into districts. In particular, the town of Shchastya was transferred from Luhansk Municipality to Novoaidar Raion. Some areas were transferred to the raion from Slovianoserbsk Raion.[6]
