In November 1922, the Gatchina district with its center in the city of Gatchina was formed on the territory of the former Detskoselsky and Peterhof counties. When creating the Gatchina district, it included the district town of Gatchina , the sub-regional cities of Detskoe Selo , Slutsk , Kolpino , Krasny , Peterhof , Oranienbaum and 20 volosts. In February 1923, Gatchina was renamed Trotsk (in honor of L. D. Trotsky ), and the county - in Trotsky [2] .
On June 16, 1925, the city of Krasny was again renamed to Krasnoye Selo , and were assigned: to the category of working villages - Ulyanovka , to the category of holiday villages - Vyritsa , Siverskaya , Strelna , Volodarsky .
On June 22, 1925, the city of Kolpino was transferred from Trotsky Uyezd to Leningradsky .
