Until 18 July 2020, Marshyntsi belonged to Novoselytsia Raion. The raion was abolished in July 2020 as part of the administrative reform of Ukraine, which reduced the number of raions of Chernivtsi Oblast to three. The area of Novoselytsia Raion was split between Chernivtsi and Dnistrovskyi Raions, with Marshyntsi being transferred to Chernivtsi Raion.^[2][3] In 2001, 93.65% of the inhabitants spoke Romanian as their native language, while 5.1% spoke Ukrainian, and 1.21% spoke Russian.^[4]
