After 1919, Vitebsk Governorate was a part of the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic.[12] On March 24, 1924, Vitebsk Governorate was abolished, and Nevel was transferred to Pskov Governorate.[7]

On August 1, 1927, the uyezds and governorates were abolished and Nevelsky District, with the administrative center in Nevel, was established as a part of Velikiye Luki Okrug of Leningrad Oblast.[13] It included parts of former Nevelsky Uyezd.[14] On June 3, 1929, Nevelsky District was transferred to Western Oblast.[14] On July 23, 1930, the okrugs were also abolished and the districts were directly subordinated to the oblast.[13] On January 29, 1935, Western Oblast was abolished and the district was transferred to Kalinin Oblast,[citation needed] and on February 5 of the same year, Nevelsky District became a part of Velikiye Luki Okrug of Kalinin Oblast,[13] one of the okrugs abutting the state boundaries of the Soviet Union. On May 4, 1938, the district was subordinated directly to the oblast.[13] Between July 16, 1941 and October 6, 1943, Nevel was occupied by German troops.[citation needed] On August 22, 1944, the district was transferred to newly established Velikiye Luki Oblast.[13] On October 2, 1957, Velikiye Luki Oblast was abolished and Nevelsky District was transferred to Pskov Oblast.[13]
