History

Established in 1629 as one of the four subdivisions (starostwo) of the Inflanty Voivodeship (Polish: trakt lucyński). In 1772, after the First Partition of Poland it became one of uyezds of Polotsk Governorate (Russian: Люцинский уезд, 1776—1796), later Belarusian Governorate (1796—1802) and Vitebsk Governorate (1802—1917) of the Russian Empire. On 31 December 1917 Lyutsinsky Uyezd, populated mostly by Latvians were transferred to Governorate of Livonia, becoming a part of the Latvian Soviet autonomy of Iskolat and a part of the Latvian Socialist Soviet Republic on 17 December 1918. After signing of the Latvian–Soviet Peace Treaty, Ludzas apriņķis was incorporated into the Republic of Latvia.

In 1949, Ludzas apriņķis was transformed to the Ludza District (Ludzas rajons) of the Latvian SSR.

gollark: No.
gollark: This may require testing. It's not impossible that *somehow* `pcall` is using the "real" environment, but I have no idea what would cause htat.
gollark: ```lua -- if function is not from within the VM, return env from within sandbox function environment.getfenv(arg) local env if type(arg) == "number" then env = gf(arg + 1) else gf(arg) end if not env or env._HOST and string.find(env._HOST, "YAFSS") == nil then return gf() else return env end end```
gollark: Well, that's incredibly weird and I have no idea what causes that!
