Itsadministrative centerisVologda.The oblast has a population of 1,202,444 (2010 Census).[12]The largest city isCherepovets,the home of theSeverstalmetallurgical plant, the largest industrial enterprise in the oblast.

Vologda Oblast is home to many historic monuments, such as theKirillo-Belozersky Monastery,Ferapontov Monastery(aWorld Heritage Site) with thefrescoesofDionisius,the two medieval towns ofVelikiy UstyugandBelozersk,and the baroque churches ofTotmaandUstyuzhna.

Large reserves of wood and fresh water are the main natural resources.

History

[edit]

The area of Vologda Oblast was settled byFinnic peoplesin prehistory, and most of thetoponymsin the region are in fact Finnic.Vepsians,who still live in the west of the oblast, are the descendants of that population. Subsequently, the area was colonized by the Russians.Belozerskwas mentioned in chronicles in 862 as one of the oldest towns in Russia. Much of the area was controlled by theNovgorod Republic,in particular,Totmawas founded in 1152.Veliky Ustyugand the west of the current territory of the Oblast, with Belozersk andUstyuzhna,belonged to theVladimir-Suzdal Principalityand were constantly threatened by Novgorod. Not later than in the 13th century the Novgorod merchants already reached theWhite Sea.They reached the area by using the waterways. The main waterway to the White Sea was theNorthern Dvina,and Novgorod merchants used theVolgaand its tributary, theSheksna,along the Slavyanka River into Lake Nikolskoye, then the boats were taken by land to Lake Blagoveshchenskoye, from there downstream along the Porozovitsa River intoLake Kubenskoyeand further to theSukhonaand the Northern Dvina.[13]

In the 13th century, minor principalities started to proliferate. First, thePrincipality of Beloozeroseparated fromRostov,its northern and northeastern parts in the 15th century became quasi-independent, forming smaller feudal states like thePrincipality of Zaozeryeor thePrincipality of Kubena.Many smaller principalities are only mentioned once in chronicles, and the very existence of these principalities is questionable. Between 1452 and 1481, Vologda was the center of thePrincipality of Vologda,the last independent principality in Vologda lands. By the end of the 15th century, all these lands were a part of theGreat Duchy of Moscow.

In the 14th and the 15th centuries, the lands around Vologda became attractive for monks looking for desolate areas but still wishing to keep connections with the princes of Moscow. The princes, in their turn, viewed the monasteries as means to keep the influence of the Grand Duchy of Moscow in its remote areas. A number of influential monasteries, includingSpaso-Prilutsky,Pavlo-Obnorsky,Kirillo-Belozersky,andFerapontovmonasteries, were founded. Kirillo-Belozersky Monastery soon became one of the most prominent Russian monasteries, with a lot of political influence, and successful economic development.

In the middle of the 15th century, the Vologda Lands were strongly involved with theMuscovite Civil War:Thus,Vasily the Blindwas exiled to Vologda in 1446 and was released from his allegiance oath by thehegumenof theKirillo-Belozersky Monastery,and by the late 1440s the Sukhona valley became the battlefield between the retreating army ofDmitry Shemyakaand the army of Vasily, chasing Shemyaka. During theTime of Troubles,the area was ravaged by Polish troops, who at some point besieged Vologda but did not succeed in conquering the city.

In the 17th century, Vologda was a prosperous city located on the main trading route from Moscow to Western Europe. During the reign of TsarPeter the Greatin the 18th century, Vologda became a shipbuilding center and played an important role in support of Russian military operations against Sweden. However, the importance of Vologda as a trade center was diminished afterSaint Petersburgwas founded in 1703, and the foreign trade was rerouted to theBaltic Sea.Peter even imposed restrictions on the White Sea trade.

Vologda was the northernmost territory whereserfdomexisted in Russia. In the lands west and south of Vologda, estates existed, but to the north and east of Vologda serfdom was never implemented, and the population owned their land.[14]

Vologda in the 1910s

In 1708,Peter the Greatissued anedictwhich established seven governorates.[15][16]The description of the borders of the governorates was not given; instead, their area was defined as a set of towns and the lands adjacent to those towns. Two of the governorates,Archangelgorod Governorate(east of the oblast) andIngermanland Governorate(west of the oblast), were located in the present-day area of Vologda oblast. Vologda became a part of Archangelgorod Governorate. Subsequently, the western part of the Oblast was transferred toNovgorod Governorate.In 1780, Vologda became the administrative center ofVologda Viceroyaltywhich included the territory of the former Archangelgorod Governorate. Eventually, the viceroyalty was transformed intoVologda Governorate.After a sequence of further administrative reforms, Vologda Oblast was established in 1937.

During theSecond World War,the Soviet Union operated a prisoner-of-war camp inKornilyevo,first for Poles and Finns captured during the Soviet invasions ofPolandandFinland,and later for German POWs.[17]Parts ofOshtinsky Districtin the west of the oblast became the only areas of Vologda Oblast to be occupied by foreign (Finnish) troops. The Finnish advance was stopped in October 1941, but the occupation continued till June 1944, when theSoviet Armystarted to advance.

In 1955, the construction ofSeverstalin the city ofCherepovets,the biggest industrial enterprise in the oblast, was completed.

On 4 July 1997, Vologda, alongsideBryansk,Chelyabinsk,Magadan,andSaratovsigned a power-sharing agreement with the government of Russia, granting it autonomy.[18]The agreement would be abolished on 15 March 2002.[19]

Politics

[edit]
The building of the Legislative Assembly in Vologda

During theSovietperiod, the high authority in the oblast was shared between three persons: The first secretary of the Vologda CPSU Committee (who in reality had the biggest authority), the chairman of the oblast Soviet (legislative power), and the Chairman of the oblast Executive Committee (executive power). Since 1991, CPSU lost all the power, and the head of the Oblast administration, and eventually the governor was appointed/elected alongside electedregional parliament.

The politics in the oblast is governed by the Charter of Vologda Oblast. The laws within the authority of the oblast are passed by the Legislative Assembly of Vologda Oblast. The highest executive body is the Vologda Oblast Administration. It also includes the executive bodies of the subdivisions such as districts, and is responsible for the daily administration. The Oblast administration supports the activities of the governor who is the head of the oblast and acts as guarantor of the observance of the Charter in accordance with theConstitution of Russia.

As a subject of the Russian Federation, the Vologda Oblast has a certain constituent power, which consists of the right to adopt its charter, laws, and other regulatory legal acts. The charter of the Vologda Oblast establishes the foundations of the legal status, ensuring human and civil rights, as well as the institutions of democracy, the economic and financial foundations of the region, the foundations of socio-cultural policy, the organization of state power, administrative-territorial division and the organization of local self-government.

Geography

[edit]
A tall bank of the Sukhona River

Vologda Oblast borders withArkhangelsk Oblastin the north,Kirov Oblastin the east,Kostroma Oblastin the southeast,Yaroslavl Oblastin the south,TverandNovgorod Oblastsin the southwest,Leningrad Oblastin the west, and theRepublic of Kareliain the northwest.

Vologda Oblast is located on theEast European Plain,and most of it represents forested hilly landscape. The southwest of the oblast, along the Sheksna and the Mologa, is flat. The northwestern part is mostly of glacial origin, with theAndoma Hills,theVeps Hills,and a number of minor hill chains.[23]The highest point of the oblast is 304 metres (997 ft) highMalgorahill.[24]In the east of the oblast, the valleys of theVaga,theSukhona,and theYugare cut through the hills. The southeast of the oblast is occupied by theNorthern Ridge,which is located south of the valley of the Sukhona.

Much of the area of the oblast is occupied by coniferous forest (taiga) and by swamps.

The area of Vologda Oblast is split between the basins of theWhite Sea,theBaltic Sea,and theCaspian Sea.In the northeast of the oblast, in Vologodsky district, there is a point which is a tripledivideof the river basins of theNeva(Baltic Sea), theVolga(Caspian Sea), and theOnega(White Sea), and thus the basins of theAtlantic Ocean,theArctic Ocean,and theendorheic basinsof the interior ofEurasia.This is one of the very few such triple divides in the world and the only one in Russia. The southwestern shore ofLake Onega,one of the biggest freshwater lakes in Europe, belongs to Vologda Oblast, and the tributaries of Lake Onega, the biggest of which are theVytegra Riverand theAndoma River,belong to the river basin of the Neva and thus drain to the Baltic Sea. Also, minor areas in the west of the oblast drain into theOyat Riverwhich is a right tributary of theSvirand belongs to the basin of the Neva. The western part of the oblast drains into theRybinsk Reservoirof the Volga. The biggest tributaries of the reservoir are theMologa,theSuda,theSogozha,and theSheksna.Lake Beloye,one of the biggest lakes in the oblast, is the source of the Sheksna. Some areas in the south of the oblast drain into tributaries of the Volga, including theUnzha.Lake Vozhein the northwest of the Oblast, with its main tributary, theVozhega,drains in theOnega Riverin the White Sea basin. The rest of the oblast, includingLake Kubenskoye,another major lake in the oblast, belongs to the river basin of theNorthern Dvina.The Northern Dvina is formed in the northeast of the oblast from merging of theSukhonaand theYug.The Sukhona forms the major waterway of Vologda Oblast. Another major tributary of the Northern Dvina, which has its source in Vologda Oblast, is theVaga.

Two areas in Vologda Oblast have been designated as protected natural areas of federal significance.[25]These areRussky Sever National Parkin the center of the oblast andDarwin Nature Reservein the southwest of the oblast (shared with Yaroslavl Oblast).

Another ten towns (Babayevo,Belozersk,Gryazovets,Kadnikov,Kharovsk,Kirillov,Nikolsk,Totma,Ustyuzhna,andVytegra) have the status of the towns of district significance. The town ofKrasavinois under administrative jurisdiction of Veliky Ustyug Town of Oblast Significance.[38]

Economy

[edit]

Industry

[edit]

The biggest industrial enterprise of Vologda Oblast is theSeverstalsteel plant located in the city ofCherepovets.The metallurgical industry is responsible for approximately 50% of the total industrial production of the oblast.[39]it is followed by chemical (also based in Cherepovets), food, and timber industries, and the machine building industry.

Metallurgy was a traditional industry developed in the region since the 16th century, when its center was located in Ustyuzhna. Another traditional industries were salt production (around Totma) and glass making (in what is currently Chagodoshchensky District). In the 18th century, timber production started to grow rapidly. In the 19th century, the textile industry enterprises makingflaxtextiles started to proliferate.[39]In 1871, the Danish merchant Friedrich Buman opened a specialized butter factory in the manor of Fominskoye (13 km northwest of Vologda). It was the first butter factory both inVologda Governorateand in Russia. Since then Vologda became the center of the butter industry, and theVologda butter,a special type of butter with the taste of nuts invented by Nikolay Vereschagin and Buman, became a world trademark.[40]

Agriculture

[edit]

The agriculture in the oblast is essentially cattle breeding with milk and meat production, production of eggs, growing of crops, flax, potatoes, and vegetables. In 2008, 73% of all agricultural products were produced by large-scale farms.[41]

Transportation

[edit]

The area of current Vologda Oblast has always been located on the trading routes connecting central Russia to the White Sea, and, in fact, in the 17th century the White Sea was the main sea export route for Russia. The whole course of the Sukhona is navigable, as well as the lower courses of some of its tributaries, including the Vologda. However, there is currently very little or no regular passenger navigation on the Sukhona.Volga–Baltic Waterway,first constructed in the 19th century as the Mariinsk Canal System and then reconstructed in the 20th century, connects the river basins of the Volga and the Neva via the Sheksna, Lake Beloye, theKovzha,and the Vytegra, and is one of the main waterways in European Russia. TheNorthern Dvina Canalconnects the Sheksna and Lake Kubenskoye, thus being a connection between the river basins of the Volga and the Northern Dvina.

One of the principal highways in Russia,M8,connects Moscow and Arkhangelsk, and passesVologda.This highway is paved and heavily used. Other important paved roads includeA114 highway,connectingVologdatoCherepovetsandSaint Petersburg,the roads connecting Vologda to Kirillov (the part which continues to Lipin Bor, Vytegra, andPudozh,is partially paved), Vologda to Veliky Ustyug via Totma, Totma to Nikolsk via Imeni Babushkina, andKotlastoManturovoand eventually toKostromaand Moscow via Veliky Ustyug and Nikolsk. There are connections from Ustyuzhna toPestovoandVesyegonsk.However, the road network is underdeveloped, especially close to the borders of the oblast. There is only one road crossing from Vologda Oblast to Kostroma Oblast. Several roads cross into Kirov Oblast, but they are all unpaved and badly maintained. So is the connection between Lipin Bor andKargopol.In the west of the oblast, there are very few through roads even across the district boundaries. Nevertheless, the vast majority of settlements have road connections of some quality, the roads are used for timber transportation, and there is regular bus service on the main roads.[42]

Belorucheyskaya forest railwayin 2015

The principal railway line in the oblast is the railroad connecting Moscow and Arkhangelsk. The piece betweenVologdaand Arkhangelsk was constructed in the 1890s. A branch fromKonoshaeastwards toKotlasand further toVorkuta,which crosses the north of the oblast, was constructed in the 1940s to facilitate the transport of coal from theKomi Republic.The railway connecting Vologda with Saint Petersburg via Cherepovets was built in the 1900s. There is also a railway connecting Vologda viaVokhtogatoBuy.At Vokhtoga, the Monza Railroad branches off east. It was built for timber transport and is operated by the timber production authorities. The Monza railroad runs along the border of Vologda and Kostroma Oblasts. The plans to extend it further east to Nikolsk were never realized.[43]The Monza Railroad has a separate station in Vokhoga, Vokhtoga-2 railway station. The headquarters of the Monzales company which owns the railroad are located in Vokhtoga. A big number ofnarrow gauge railwayshave been built in the 1950s and 1960s to facilitate the transport of timber, but since then most of these became unprofitable and have been destroyed.

Currently, the local aviation has almost disappeared. There is anairportin Vologda. Locally, there is infrequent service toVeliky Ustyug,Kichmengsky Gorodok,andVytegra.

The oil transport system,Baltic Pipeline System,runs through the oblast, with three oil-pumping stations located atNyuksenitsa,Pogorelovo,andGryazovets.

Arts and culture

[edit]

Architecture

[edit]
Church of the Entry into Jerusalem,Totma

Three of the towns in the oblast—Belozersk, Totma, and Veliky Ustyug—are classified as historical towns by the Ministry of Culture of Russian Federation, which implies certain restrictions on construction in their historical centers.[44]

The old center of Vologda until the 1990s contained many wooden houses, including five woodenclassicistmanors, protected by the government as cultural heritage monuments.[45]Despite the protection, many of these burnt down, or were simply demolished. Still, many buildings, including four classicist manors, survive, and make Vologda one of the biggest collection of wooden town houses of the 19th century in Russia.

Some of the best examples of rural wooden architecture are collected in open-air Ethnographic Museum inSemyonkovo,northwest of Vologda.

Several cities and towns in Vologda Oblast preserved their architectural heritage. In contrast to many other Russian towns in the 1920s and 1930s, Veliky Ustyug was left intact and declared the national cultural heritage very early after 1917. It preserved therefore almost all of its historic center. Vologda, Belozersk, Totma, Gryazovets, and Ustyuzhna keep many of their historical buildings. In particular, several churches in Totma were built in the 18th century in the unique style which is sometimes referred to asTotma Baroque.

The relative desolation of Vologda lands attracted monks looking for solitude, resulting in numerous monasteries. TheKirillo-Belozersky Monastery,theSpaso-Prilutsky Monastery,theGoritsky Monastery,and theTroitse-Gledensky Monasteryrepresent examples of Russian medieval fortification architecture and also contain buildings rated among the best preserved cultural heritage. TheFerapontov Monastery,included into theWorld Heritagelist, contains the only survived fully painted church in Russia with the frescoes ofDionisius.As of 2010, four of the monasteries in Vologda Oblast were acting: the Kirillo-Belozersky, the Spaso-Prilutsky, the Goritsky, and thePavlo-Obnorskymonasteries.

Literature

[edit]
Batyushkov'sportrait byOrest Kiprensky(1815)

In the 19th and the 20th centuries, many notable authors had their estates in Vologda Region; however, their literary activity mostly was related to Saint Petersburg rather than to the estates. Thus,Konstantin Batyushkov,a poet, was born and raised in his estate inDanilovskoye,but became a notable author after he moved to the state service to Saint Petersburg, and he only returned to Vologda (where he eventually died) after he developed a mental illness.Igor Severyanin,a 20th-century poet, spent considerable periods of his life in the estate of his uncle,Vladimirovka,close to the city ofCherepovets.

In the 20th century, two of the authors of theVillage prosemovement in Soviet literature, which predominantly described rural life, were tightly connected with Vologda Region.Vasily Belovwas born in the village of Timonikha, currently in Kharovsky District, and lives in Vologda.Alexander Yashinwas born in Nikolsky District and completed his studies in Nikolsk, but then moved to Moscow. A poetNikolay Rubtsovspent much of his life in Vologda Oblast before being killed in a domestic dispute in 1971.Yury Koval,mainly known for his children's books, spent considerable periods of his life in Vologda Oblast.
