Evenk Autonomous Okrug
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Evenk Autonomous Okrug (Russian: Эвенки́йский автоно́мный о́круг, Evenkiysky avtonomny okrug; Evenki: Эведы Автомоды Округ, Evedy avtomody okrug), or Evenkia, was a federal subject of Russia (an autonomous okrug of Krasnoyarsk Krai). Its administrative center was Tura. As of 2006, at 767,600 km², it was Russia's seventh largest administrative division, and the country's least populous (17,697 as of the 2002 Census).
Following a referendum on the issue held on April 17, 2005, Evenk and Taymyr Autonomous Okrugs were merged into Krasnoyarsk Krai effective January 1, 2007. Administratively, they are now considered to be units with special status within Krasnoyarsk Krai; municipally, they have a status of municipal districts.
Boris Zolotaryov was the last governor of the autonomous okrug.
