Cherepovets Governorate

The Cherepovets Governorate ( Russian Черепове́цкая губе́рния , Tscherepowezkaja gubernija ) was a governorate in the Russian SFSR that existed from 1918 to 1927 , which in turn became part of the Soviet Union on December 30, 1922 . The administrative seat was in the eponymous city of Tscherepowez .

history

By order of the People's Commissariat of the Interior (NKVD) of the RSFSR on June 10, 1918, the eastern part of the Novgorod governorate was spun off as the new Cherepovets governorate; the surrendered area included the Ujesd Tscherepowez, the four largest and most sparsely populated Ujesde of the governorate: Belozersk , Kirillow , Tichwin and Ustyuschna . As a result, the Novgorod Governorate lost about 57% of its area and 41% of the population (based on the population of 1897).

The area had belonged to the Novgorod Governorate from its foundation in 1727, until 1775 as part of the Belozersk and Novgorod Provinces. The Ujesde Belozersk and Ustyuschna existed there from the beginning; the Ujesd Tikhvin was created in 1773, and during the period of the existence of the governorship of Novgorod instead of the governorate (1776–1796) the Ujesde Kirillow (1776, instead of the Ujesd Tscharonda, which existed in 1727 but was dissolved in 1764 ) and Cherepovets (1777) were expelled. After the restoration of the governorate in 1796, the latter two were temporarily dissolved until 1802.

In the first time after the creation of the Cherepovets Governorate, its borders changed several times: in 1918, the Ujesd Tscherepowez was expanded to include the northwestern part of the Ujesds Poschechonje-Volodarsk of the Yaroslavl Governorate , and in February 1919 the north-eastern and northern part of the Ujesd Kirillow became an den Ujesd Kadnikow of the Vologda governorate and the Ujesd Kargopol of the Olonez governorate , as well as the southern part of the Ujezds Tikhvin to the Ujesde Borowitschi and Malaja Wischera of the Novgorod governorate until 1921 . The expansion of the Cherepovets governorate and its Ujesde had thus been consolidated for the remaining years of its existence:

Remarks:

1. ↑ including urban settlements

With a resolution of May 7, 1926, the five northwestern governorates of the RSFSR (Leningrad - emerged from the original governorate of Saint Petersburg, from 1914 Petrograd, Murmansk , Novgorod, Pskow and Tscherepowez) became a north-western oblast (Severo- Sapadnaja oblast) , but initially continued to exist. By resolution of the All-Russian Central Executive Committee , the oblast was renamed Leningrad Oblast on August 1, 1927 , and the previous governorates were finally dissolved, including the Cherepovets governorate.

Most of the four eastern Ujesde of the previous Cherepovets governorate initially formed the Okrug Tscherepowez within the Leningrad Oblast , while the Ujesd Tikhvin and a small part of the Ujesd Ustyuschna came to the Okrug Leningrad. Like most of the other okrug in the Soviet Union, this okrug was dissolved on July 23, 1930.

The territory of the former Okrug Tscherepowez and thus the Ujesde Belozersk and Tscherepowez and the larger part of the Ujesde Kirillow and Ustyuschna belongs to the Vologda Oblast . The northern part of the area given up by Ujesd Kirillow in 1919 is now in Arkhangelsk Oblast , most of Ujesd Tikhvin and part of Ujezd Ustyuschna in Leningrad Oblast and the part of Ujezd Tikhvin (around Neboltschi ) given before 1921 and a smaller part of the Ujezd Ustyuschna in the Novgorod Oblast (most of today's Pestowski rajon , with the exception of an area around its center Pestowo , which was not part of the Ujesd Ustyuschna, but rather the Ujesd Vessjegonsk of the Tver province and, in the meantime, of the Rybinsk province ).
