Sovietskyi Raion (Russian: Советский район, Ukrainian: Совєтський район) or Ichki Raion (Ukrainian: Ічкінський район, Crimean Tatar: İçki rayonı) was one of the 25 regions of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea until its abolition in 2020. It continues to be used as an administration of Russia's Republic of Crimea, as it occupies the peninsula. The administrative center of the raion is the urban-type settlement of Sovietskyi, which is also known as Ichki. Population: 31,898 (2014 Census).[1]

See also: Administrative divisions of Crimea
In July 2020, the Verkhovna Rada approved an administrative reform in Crimea

In July 2020, Ukraine conducted an administrative reform throughout its de jure territory. This included Crimea; among other changes, Ichki Raion was abolished, and its territories to become a part of Feodosia Raion. However, this has not yet been implemented due to the ongoing Russian occupation of Crimea.[2]
