Northern Krai
Encyclopedia
Northern Krai was a krai
(a first-level administrative and municipal unit) of the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic
from 1929 to 1936. Its seat was in the city of Arkhangelsk
. The Krai was located in the North of European Russia, and its territory is currently divided between Arkhangelsk
, Vologda
, Kostroma
, and Kirov
Oblasts, the Nenets Autonomous Okrug
, and the Komi Republic
.
. The territory of the krai was formed from three governorate
s (Arkhangelsk
, Vologda
, and Northern Dvina
) and the Komi-Zyryan Autonomous Oblast
.
On July 15, 1929 the All-Russian Central Executive Committee issued a decree splitting the Northern Krai (with the exception of the Komi-Zyryan Autonomous Oblast, which remain as a single unit with the seat in Ust-Sysolsk
, and the islands of Vaygach, Kolguev, Matveyev, Novaya Zemlya
, Solovetsky Islands
, and Franz Josef Land
) into five administrative districts (okrug
s)
Before the Krai was established, the division of its constituent governorates mixed the old division inherited from the Russian Empire (uyezd
s) with the new one (districts, or raion
s). The same decree established the division of the Krai into districts. All okrugs and the Komi-Zyryan Autonomous Oblast were divided into districts, and the Arctic ocean islands remained subordinate to the Krai executive committee.
The following districts have been established,
In July 1930, the Okrugs have been abolished. The Nenets Okrug became the autonomous unit, the Komi-Zyryan Autonomous Oblast remained intact, and the districts which were part of the four other Okrugs became directly subordinate to the Krai goventment. By August 25, 1930 the Krai consisted of
Between 1930 and 1935 there were constant changes in the district configuration, some districts were abolished, established, and renamed. On February 10, 1934, Novaya Zemlya, Vaygach, and a number of smaller islands in the Barents
and Kara
Seas were moved to the Nenets National Okrug. By 1936, the Krai included 65 districts.
On March 5, 1936, Pechorsky Okrug which was a part of the Northern Krai was established. The Okrug included three districts, Izhemsky, Ust-Tsilemsky, and Ust-Usinsky, and a part of Troitsko-Pechorsky District. This was related due to the beginning of the coal mining
in the North of what is now the Komi Republic
.
According to the 1936 Soviet Constitution
, the Northern Krai was abolished, and its territory was divided between newly established Northern Oblast and Komi Republic
. The Northern Oblast included 54 districts and was in 1937 split into Arkhangelsk
and Vologda
Oblasts. Three of the districts of the Northern Krai, Lalsky, Oparinsky, and Podosinovsky, as the result of some later administrative changes, ended up in Kirov Oblast
. Pavinsky and Vokhomsky District were merged into Kostroma Oblast
.
