Slovianoserbsk Raion (Ukrainian: Слов’яносербський район) is a raion (district) in Luhansk Oblast of eastern Ukraine. The administrative center of the raion is the urban-type settlement of Slovianoserbsk. It was named after Slavo-Serbia, an imperial Russian province that existed between 1753–64. Population: 55,121 (2013 est.)[1].
Since 2014, the raion has been controlled by forces of the Luhansk People's Republic.[2] 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, some areas were transferred from Slovianoserbsk Raion to Novoaidar Raion.[3]
