Izmail Oblast
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Izmail Oblast (Ukrainian: Ізмаїльська область, Izmail’s’ka oblast’) (December 7, 1940—February 15, 1954) was an oblast in the Ukrainian SSR. It had a territory of 12.4 thousand km³.
The oblast was renamed from Akkerman Oblast on December 1, 1940, as the oblast center was moved from Akkerman (since 1944 Bilhorod-Dnistrovskyi) to Izmail. The oblast was administratively subdivided into 13 raions. On February 15, 1954, the oblast was liquidated, and all raions of the oblast were included into Odessa Oblast.
