Veps National Volost (Russian: Ве́псская национа́льная во́лость, Vepsskaya natsionalnaya volost; Veps: Vepsän rahvahaline volost’) was a municipal autonomy (a volost) of North Vepses in the Prionezhsky District of the Republic of Karelia, Russia during 1996-2004. Its capital was the village of Shyoltozero.
History
The autonomy was declared as a self-governing territory on January 20, 1994, [2] and, after resolving various territorial and administrative controversies,[3] it was established as an administrative unit on December 2, 1996.[4] Its territorial and administrative centre was the village (selo) of Shyoltozero. At the moment of formation it comprized of 14 settlements.[5]. One of them, Zalesye, had population of 1[5] and soon was disestablished).
By January 1, 1998, its population was 3,552, with 1,559 being Vepses.[5] By the 2002 Census the volost's population was 3,166, with Veps population of 1,202.[6] The volost extended over the same territory as the Shyoltozero District from the 1930s to the 1950s.
The volost was formed from three national selsoviets: Shyoltozero, Shoksha, and Rybreka which comprised thirteen villages (earlier established, by formal renaming them from "selsoviets" to "national selsoviets" in 1992-1993).[3]
It was disestablished on December 1, 2004.[7] After its disestablishment, within the territory three rural municipalities were established: the Shokshinskoye Veps Rural Settlement, the Sheltozerskoye Veps Rural Settlement and the Ryboretskoye Veps Rural Settlement, all subordinated back to Prionezhsky District.[3]
In 2005 there was a sizzled attempt to restore the volost within the framework of the planned 2006 administrative reform in Russia.[3]
