Veps National Volost (Russian: Ве́псская национа́льная во́лость, Vepsskaya natsionalnaya volost; Veps: Vepsän rahvahaline volost’) was a municipal autonomy (a volost) of North Vepses in Prionezhsky District of the Republic of Karelia, Russia during 1996-2004. Its center was the village of Shyoltozero.
History
The autonomy was declared as a self-governing territory on January 20, 1994, see ВЕПСЫ..., p. 207 and soon was disestablished).
By January 1, 1998, its population was 3,552, with 1,559 being Vepses.
The volost was formed from three national selsoviets: (Shyoltozero, Shoksha , and Rybreka ) comprising thirteen villages (earlier established, by formal renaming from "selsoviet" to "national selsoviet", in 1992-1993).[2]
It was disestablished on December 1, 2004.[8] After its disestablishment, within the territory three rural municipalities were established: ru:Шокшинское вепсское сельское поселение, ru:Шелтозерское вепсское сельское поселение, and ru:Рыборецкое вепсское сельское поселение subordinated back to Prionezhsky District.[2]
In 2005 there was a sizzled attempt to restore the volost within the framework of the planned 2006 administrative reform in Russia.[2]
