Two abolished raions, Korop and Semenivka Raions, as well as the city of Novhorod-Siverskyi, which was previously incorporated as a city of oblast significance and did not belong to the raion, were merged into Novhorod-Siverskyi Raion.[2][3] The January 2020 estimate of the raion population was 12,340 (2020 est.).[4]
