Northern Oblast (1936-1937)
Location of the Northern Oblast in the RSFSR
The Northern Oblast(Russian Северная область, transliterated Severnaya oblast, wh. Transliteration Severnaya oblast’) was an administrative unit in the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic that existed from 1936 to 1937. The oblast was located in the northeast of the RSFSR and had a population of 2,262,255 (1937 census).[1] The administrative center was the city of Arkhangelsk.
History
The Northern Oblast emerged from the Northern Krai administrative unit, which existed from 1929 to 1936 and consisted of 65 rajons, in addition to the autonomous regions of Nenezki nazionalny okrug and the Komi Autonomous Oblast. Under the Soviet Constitution of 1936, the Northern Krai was dissolved on December 5, 1936, and its territories were divided between the Northern Oblast and the Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic of Komi. The Northern Oblast consisted of 54 rajons, three of which belonged to the Nenezki nazionalny okrug. The Northern Oblast was dissolved by the Central Executive Committee of the Soviet Union as early as September 23, 1937. Its territories were transferred to the newly formed Arkhangelsk Oblast and Vologda Oblast.[2][3]
