Череповецкая губерния
In June 1918, five uyezds of Novgorod Governorate, including Kirillovsky Uyezd, were split off to form Cherepovets Governorate, with the administrative center in Cherepovets. On August 1, 1927, Cherepovets Governorate was abolished and its area became Cherepovets Okrug of Leningrad Oblast. Simultaneously, the uyezds were abolished and Vashkinsky District was established. The administrative center of the district was established in the village of Vashki, hence the name of the district. On September 23, 1937, Vashkinsky District was transferred to newly established Vologda Oblast. In 1938, the administrative center of the district was moved to the "selo" of Lipin Bor.
