Source-derived summary

Mala Vyska Raion (Ukrainian: Маловисківський район) was a raion (district) of Kirovohrad Oblast in central Ukraine. The city of Mala Vyska was the administrative center of the raion. The raion was abolished on 18 July 2020 as part of the administrative reform of Ukraine, which reduced the number of raions of Kirovohrad Oblast to four. The area of Mala Vyska Raion was merged into Novoukrainka Raion. The last estimate of the raion population was 41,251 (2020 est.).

The raion was mostly agricultural with some industries located around the regional center. Major products included sugar beets and sugar, milk and some cereal products. Mala Vyska was also the location for the regional boarding school and the regional administration. Outside of Mala Vyska, the raion was composed of several small towns and villages.

At the time of disestablishment, the raion consisted of four hromadas:

Mala Vyska urban hromada with the administration in Mala Vyska;

Marianivka rural hromada with the administration in the selo of Marianivka;

Smoline settlement hromada with the administration in the urban-type settlement of Smoline;

Zlynka rural hromada with the administration in the selo of Zlynka.

Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as raion in Kirovohrad Oblast, Ukraine. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.

Evidence profile

The linked authority identifier is Q2652817. VIAF identifies the subject as 4102153895180402410008. The Library of Congress control number is n2018057292.

Critical limits

Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
