Yeniseysk

 

Yenisei province was formed from a part of the Tobolsk province as a part of the Siberian province by decree "On the division of Siberian cities in three provinces and on the definition of these two Vice-Governorates" in 1724

The province included the counties: Mangazeysky, Yenisei, Krasnoyarsk and Ketsky, and, until 1726: Tomsk, Kuznetsk, Narymsky.

In November 1775, the division of provinces into provinces was abolished

 

Yeniseysk Governorate (Енисе́йская губе́рния) was established on 26 January 1822 when the territory of Siberia was divided into two Governorates General: West Siberia (1822-1882) and East Siberia (1822-1884). Yeniseysk Governorate, with the administrative center in Krasnoyarsk, became a part of the East Siberian Governorate General.

As of its foundation, the governorate included five okrugs: Achinsky, Kansky, Krasnoyarsk, Minusinsky, and Yeniseysk (with Turukhansky Krai).

Красноя́рский край / Krasnoyarsky District

 

On 14 November 1923, parts of the governorate's Minusinsky and Achinsky Uyezds were merged with one volost of Kuznetsky Uyezd of Tomsk Governorate to form a new Khakassky Uyezd. On 19 March 1924, the Siberian Revolutionary Committee (Sibrevkom) approved the enlargement of the governorate's uyezds (districts).

On 23 June 1924, a new Turukhansky Uyezd was formed in the governorate. Its Yuzhnaya Volost was formed on the part of the territory of Antsiferovskaya Volost of Yeniseysky Uyezd. After that, Yeniseysky Uyezd itself was abolished and its remaining territory split up between the Kansky and Krasnoyarsky Uyezds. At the same time, Daurskaya Volost of Achinsky Uyezd was transferred to Krasnoyarsky Uyezd.

Also in 1924, parts of Znamenskaya and Tashtypskaya Volosts of Minusinsky Uyezd were transferred to Khakassky Uyezd. The former territory became a part of Charkovskaya Enlarged Volost, while the latter was merged into Tashtypskaya Enlarged Volost.

The governorate was abolished on 25 May 1925, when it was included into the newly formed Sibirsky Krai along with the territories of Oyrat Autonomous Oblast and Altai, Novo-Nikolayevsk, Omsk, and Tomsk Governorates. Achinsky, Kansky, Krasnoyarsky, Minusinsky, and Khakassky Uyezds of the governorate were at the same time transformed into okrugs, while Turukhansky Uyezd was renamed Turukhansky Krai and transferred to Krasnoyarsk Okrug.

 

The Krasnoyarsk Okrug became the Krasnoyarskii Krai on 07.12.1935

It is the second largest Russian region and the largest of the territories. It was founded on 7 December 1934 . The administrative center is the city of Krasnoyarsk. Within the borders almost completely coincides with the Yenisei province.

During the Soviet era, the Taimyr (Dolgan-Nenets) and Evenki okrugs, being autonomous, were part of the region. The territory also included the Khakass Autonomous Region.

Branta ruficollis Anserid

 

Symbolism:

The Red-breasted goose. The main places for its nesting are located in the Taimyr tundra. The bird is depicted in flight, which means the district will move further towards progress.

The blue field symbolizes the grandeur and beauty of the vast Taimyr expanses, the country of a thousand lakes and rivers, which permeate the entire territory of the peninsula. The blue also indicates that the Taimyr Peninsula is washed by the waters of the Arctic Kara Sea and the Laptev Sea.

The silver sun disk reflects the whiteness of the northern snows and the sun is also a symbol of the warmth that the northerners really need.

According to some interpreters of symbolism, the white disk can symbolize the Samoyed nanny sangarin - hole in the sky - the North Star, from where peoples souls come and go, according to Samoyed mythology.

 

The author of the coat of arms is Vladimir Sergeyevich Taranets, chief artist of the Taimyr Folk Art Center. [4]
