Pokrovsk Raion (Ukrainian: Покровський район; Russian: Покровский район), formerly Krasnoarmiisk Raion (Ukrainian: Красноармійський район; Russian: Красноармейский район) is a raion (district) within Donetsk Oblast in eastern Ukraine. Its administrative center is Pokrovsk, which is incorporated separately as a city of oblast significance and does not belong to the raion. Its area is 1,316 square kilometres. Population: 32,057 (2013 est.).
Within the Dobropilskyi Raion there are: 3 urban-type settlements (Hrodivka, Novoekonomichne, Udachne), 13 selsovets, and 99 settlements. Also included within the raion are: 22 kolkhozy, 7 sovhozy, 5 industrial organizations, 3 hospitals, 36 schools, and 31 libraries.
An architectural monument in the raion is the Petropavlovs'ka Church (1840 – village of Krasne), Church of the Birth of the Theotokos (Russian: церковь Рождества Богородицы) (1799 – urban-type settlement of Novoekonomichne), and the Voznesens'ka Church (1893 – village of Novotroyits'ke). The composer Sergei Prokofiev (1891–1953) was born here.
In May 2014, the raion requested a referendum for its absorption into the Dnipropetrovsk Oblast, citing the instability in the Donetsk Oblast and order and stability in Dnipropetrovsk. Dnipropetrovsk governor Ihor Kolomoisky said that the oblast was willing to do so, assuming it was popular opinion in the raion.
