Vinnitsa district (Leningrad region)

Vinnitsa district was formed simultaneously with the Leningrad region on August 1, 1927 . The district included the following administrative units:

a) from Lodeynopolsky district of Leningrad province :

• Vinitsa parish completely (10 village councils);
• from Shapshinskaya volost - Kinitsky and Yaroslavl village councils;

b) from the Tikhvin district of Cherepovets province :

• from the Pöldushu parish - 4 village councils.

Initially, Vinnitsa district was included in the Lodeinopolsky district . After the liquidation of the districts (resolution of the CEC and the Council of People's Commissars of the USSR of July 23, 1930 ), the district was subordinated directly to the regional authorities.

In 1931 - 1938 the district had the status of a Vepsian national district.

At the time of formation, the district consisted of 16 village councils:

• Vinnitsa,
• 1st Gonginsky,
• 2nd Gonginsky,
• Karginsky,
• Kinitsky,
• Lavrovsky,
• Ladvinsky,
• Myagozersky,
• Nemzhinsky,
• Ozersky,
• Poldushsky
• Sarozersky,
• Tukshinsky
• Tumazovsky
• Chicozersky
• Yaroslavsky.

In 1928, during the enlargement of the village councils, the Kinitsky, Lavrovsky, Tukshinsky and Tumazovsky village councils were abolished, and the 1st Goginsky and the 2nd Gonginsky village councils were merged into one Gonginsky village council. Then, until 1954, the administrative division of the district did not change.

According to the decision of the Lenoblispolkom in February 1931, nine village councils of the Vinnitsa district (out of 11) were transformed into national Veps village councils: Vinnitsa, Karginsky, Ladvinsky, Myagozersky, Nemzhinsky, Ozersky, Peldushsky, Sarozersky, Yaroslavsky. The entire Vinnitsa region was transformed into a national Veppsky region ^[3] . Gonginsky and Chicoyera village councils were not national ^[4]

Decrees of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the RSFSR of February 22 and September 19, 1939 abolished administrative units formed on the basis of nationality "as artificially created." Vinnitsa district and 9 national Veps village councils were transformed into ordinary district and village councils ^[3] .

During the Great Patriotic War, in connection with the evacuation of the civilian population from the 25-kilometer front line in October 1942, the district center was temporarily (until 1944) transferred to the village of Ozyory ^[5] .

By the decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the RSFSR of June 16, 1954, the Sarozersky Village Council was abolished, its territory was transferred to the Poldushsky Village Council ^[6] .

Education in the Vepsian language in the Vinnitsa region was introduced in 1932 - after the development of the Vepsian alphabet and the start of teacher training and the publication of the first textbooks. In 1933, classes in Vepsian were conducted in 24 groups. The development of the Vepsian school in the region, however, was hampered by an acute shortage of national teaching staff. Thus, in 1933, only 177 people studied in their native language - only 16% of the children of the Veps, while the rest studied in Russian schools. There were 19 national schools in the district, but teaching in their native language was conducted only in the first groups, and only in six schools - in the first and second groups ^[7] .

The district was abolished by a decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the RSFSR dated February 1, 1963 ^[8] as part of the general enlargement of rural areas of the Leningrad Region after the regional council was divided into industrial and rural, with the transfer of territory to the Lodeinopolsky rural area . Currently, the territory of the former Vinnitsa district is fully incorporated into the Vinnitsa rural settlement of the Podporozhsky district .
