Marchlewszczyzna (Ukrainian: Мархлевский польский национальный район) was a Polish National District in the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic created as an experiment[1] and as part of the Soviet korenizatsia campaign in Zhytomyr Okruha to the west of Zhytomyr[2] on 21 July 1925 by resolution of the Little Presidium of the All-Ukrainian Central Executive Committee.[citation needed] Its capital, the town of Dovbysh, was renamed later in 1926 as Marchlewsk.[1][3] The district was one of 32 other national districts that were created in the Ukrainian SSR during that period (1924-1939).[2] Creation of the district was based on standards adopted by the fourth session of the All-Ukrainian Central Executive Committee (15-19 February 1925) and recommendations of the Central Commission in affairs of National Minorities at that executive committee.[2] It was created to implement an idea in creation of Polish national districts on territories of Ukrainian and Belarusian SSRs.[2]
