Rybinsk Governorate

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Rybinsk Governorate ( Russian Ры́бинская губе́рния , Rybinskaja gubernija ) was a governorate in the Russian SFSR that existed from 1921 to 1923 , which in turn became part of the Soviet Union on December 30, 1922 . The administrative seat was in the eponymous city of Rybinsk .

The governorate was formed on February 3, 1921 by spinning off the five western (of ten at that time) Ujesde of the Yaroslavl governorate . These five Ujesde ( Mologa , Myshkin , Poschechonje-Volodarsk , Rybinsk and Uglich ) comprised about 55% of the area and 46% of the population of the Yaroslavl Governorate, based on the data of the census of 1897 (but now part of the Ujezd Poschechonje-Volodarsk to the Cherepovets governorate formed in 1918 ).

On April 25, 1921, the two northernmost Ujesde Krasny Cholm and Wessjegonsk of the Tver Governorate (from a total of 14 at that time) were given to the newly formed Rybinsk Governorate. On March 2, 1922, a part (the Wolost Wassilkowskaja) of the Ujesds Myshkin of the Rybinsk governorate went to the Ujesd Kashin of the Tver governorate.

In 1922 the Rybinsk Governorate had about 769,000 inhabitants on an area of ​​over 29,200 km²; the population density was thus a good 26 inhabitants per square kilometer.

Just two years after its establishment, on February 15, 1923, the Rybinsk Governorate was dissolved and its Ujesde returned to the original governorates. The territories of the originally five Ujesde of the Yaroslavl governorate, which belonged to the Rybinsk governorate (the Ujesd Myshkin had meanwhile been dissolved in November 1923), largely corresponded to their okrug Rybinsk after the expansion of the Yaroslavl governorate into the industrial area of ​​Ivanovo in 1929 .

Today, most of the area is in Yaroslavl Oblast , the part that was formerly part of Tver Governorate largely in Tver Oblast , although the borderline has been changed slightly, and only a small part around Pestowo in the northwest in Novgorod Oblast .
