Alexandrovskaya Volost
Encyclopedia
Alexandrovskaya Volost was an administrative division (a volost
) of Alexandrovsky Uyezd
of Arkhangelsk Governorate
and later of Murmansk Governorate
of the Russian SFSR.
The creation of the volost was proposed on April 22, 1920, when the Soviet
of the town of Alexandrovsk suggested that several colonies of Teriberskaya Volost
should be incorporated into a new volost. The proposal was formally approved by the Murmansky Uyezd
Executive Committee on June 1, 1920. The administrative center of the new volost was in Alexandrovsk.
The volost became a part of Murmansk Governorate
at the time of its establishment in 1921, and was abolished on August 1, 1927 along with the rest of the volosts of Murmansk Governorate when the latter was transformed into Murmansk Okrug
, redistricted, and transferred to the newly created Leningrad Oblast
