On August1, 1927, the uyezds and governorates were abolished and Dnovsky District, with the administrative center in Dno, was established as a part of Pskov Okrug of Leningrad Oblast.[10][11] It included parts of former Porkhovsky Uyezd.[11] On July23, 1930, the okrugs were also abolished and the districts were directly subordinated to the oblast.[10] During World War II, Dno was under German occupation from 18 July 1941 until 24 February 1944.[12] On August23, 1944, the district was transferred to newly established Pskov Oblast.[11]
The town remains to a large degree economically dependent upon rail-related activities. It was home to the Dno air base prior and during World War II.
Industry
The industrial enterprises in Dno include two metalworking plants, a ceramic production plant, and a bakery.[13]
Transportation
Dno is an important railway station where two railways cross. One connects Bologoye and Pskov via Staraya Russa and runs from east to west. Another one connects St.Petersburg and Vitebsk and runs from north to south.
Dno is connected by roads with Soltsy, with Porkhov, and with Dedovichi. There are also local roads with bus traffic.
Dno contains five cultural heritage monuments of local significance.[14] These are monuments commemorating the Revolution of 1905 and soldiers fallen in World War II.
Law #833-oz stipulates that the borders of the administrative districts are identical to the borders of the municipal districts. The Law #420-oz, which describes the borders and the composition of the municipal districts, lists the town of Dno as a part of Dnovsky District.
