On July 12, 1929, the governorates and uyezds were abolished.[5] Likhoslavlsky District, with the administrative center in Likhoslavl, was established within Tver Okrug of Moscow Oblast.[5] On July 23, 1930, the okrugs were abolished and the districts were directly subordinated to the oblast.[6] On January 29, 1935, Likhoslavlsky District was transferred to newly established Kalinin Oblast.[5] On July 9, 1937, Likhoslavlsky District was included into Karelian National Okrug, which was established as a Tver Karelians autonomy,[5] and became its administrative center.[7] On February 7, 1939, the okrug was abolished.[5] In February , 1963, during the abortive administrative reform by Nikita Khrushchev, Likhoslavlsky District was merged into Torzhoksky District, but on March 4, 1964 it was re-established.[5][3] In 1990, Kalinin Oblast was renamed Tver Oblast.[8]
