Northern Dvina Governorate (Russian: Северо-Двинская губерния, Severo-Dvinskaya guberniya) was a governorate (guberniya) of the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic from 1918 to 1929.[1] Its seat was in the city of Veliky Ustyug. The governorate was located in the North of European Russia, and its territory is currently divided between Arkhangelsk, Vologda, Kostroma, and Kirov Oblasts and the Komi Republic. The name of the governorate originates from the Northern Dvina River.

History

The governorate was established on July 24, 1918 by the People's Commissariat for Internal Affairs of the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic. The territory of the governorate was formed from five uyezds which were prviously a part of Vologda Governorate (the uyezd centers are given in parentheses)[1]

In August 1921, the eastern part of the Governorate was split off and moved to the newly formed Komi-Zyryan Autonomous Oblast.

On April 18, 1924, the uyezds were abolished, and the governorate was divided into 18 districts (raions).[1]

On February 27, 1928 Ust-Alexeyevsky District was merged into Velikoustygsky District, and Yenangsky District was merged into Kichmengsko-Gorodetsky District. Simultaneously, Nyuksensky District was renamed into Sukhonsky District. On March 29, 1928, Solvychegodsky District was merged into Kotlassky District.[1]

On July 15, 1929 All-Russian Central Executive Committee by a decree abolished Northern Dvina Governorate and established the Northern Dvina Okrug, which was a part of Northern Krai. The Okrug had the same territory as the abolished governorate, with the addition of Brusnovolovsky Selsoviet from the former Totemsky Uyezd of the Vologda Governorate. The Okrug administration was located in Veliky Ustyug.[1][2]

The Northern Dvina Okrug was abolished in 1930. Northern Krai was in 1936 transformed into Northern Oblast. In 1937, Northern Oblast was split into Arkhangelsk Oblast and Vologda Oblast. Lalsky, Podosinovsky, and Oparinsky districts in 1941 were transferred from Arkhangelsk to Kirov Oblast. Vokhomsky District and a part of Nikolsky District ended up in Kostroma Oblast. The parts of the Nothern Dvina Governorate split off to Komi-Zyryan Autonomous Oblast in 1921 remain in the Komi Republic.
