In 1922, it was included to Roslavlsky Uyezd of Smolensk Governorate.[2]
On 12 July 1929, governorates and uyezds were abolished, and Shumyachsky District with the administrative center in the settlement of Shumyachi was established.

On 27 September 1937 Western Oblast was abolished and split between Oryol and Smolensk Oblasts. Shumyachsky District was transferred to Smolensk Oblast. Between August 1941 and 1943, during WWII, the district was occupied by German troops.[11][12] In 1965, Shumyachi was granted the urban-type settlement status.[2]
