History
The territory of Virandozero was previously part of the Kolezhma volost, which was abolished in the 1920s and became part of the Belomorsky district.

The ancient village of Virandozero is located 16 kilometers southwest of the modern village, currently the settlement is non-residential.
The name Virandozero comes from the Karelian Viranda - “a plowed field where there was a forest” [2] .
The modern village of Virandozero was founded in 1941 as a village of loggers at the Ruyga railway station [3] . In 1950, it was transformed into a working village with the accession of several nearby settlements. Until 1991, it had the status of an urban-type settlement, subsequently becoming a rural settlement.
