In August 1927, the governorates and uyezds were abolished. Starorussky District, with the administrative center in the town of Staraya Russa,[13] was established within Novgorod Okrug of Leningrad Oblast effective October 1, 1927.[2] It included parts of former Starorussky Uyezd.[13] On July 23, 1930, the okrugs were abolished, and the districts were directly subordinated to the oblast.[14] On September 20, 1931, Podgoshchsky District was abolished and merged into Starorussky District.[15] On January 1, 1932, a part of abolished Volotovsky District was merged into Starorussky District; this was reverted on February 15, 1935.[16] On September 19, 1939, Staraya Russa was elevated in status to that of a town under oblast jurisdiction and thus ceased to be a part of the district.[13] Between August 1941 and February 19, 1944, Starorussky District was occupied by German troops.[13] On July 5, 1944, Starorussky District was transferred to newly established Novgorod Oblast,[13] where it remained ever since. On July 22, 1961, a part of abolished Zaluchsky District was merged into Starorussky District.[17] On February 1, 1963, the district was transformed into Starorussky Rural District[18] in the course of the Nikita Khrushchev's abortive administrative reform. This was reverted on January 12, 1965.[18] On December 13, 1968, Parfinsky District was split from Starorussky District.[18] Also, in the mid-1960s, parts of Volotovsky and Polavsky Districts were transferred to Starorussky District and then back. Polavsky District in the end was split between Parfinsky and Demyansky Districts.
