Kanino-Timansky District

Kanino-Timansky District was a former district (raion) of the Nenets National Okrug in the RSFSR of the former Soviet Union.

Kanino-Timansky district was located in the far west of the Nenets Autonomous Okrug, on the Kanin Peninsula and some of the mainland, and close to the Timan Ridge, which is probably where the district got its name from.

Its territory was mostly formed in a curve around Chosha Bay.

The administrative center of the district was the settlement of Nizhnyaya Pyosha.

In 1959, all of the districts in the Nenets Autonomous Okrug, including Kanino-Timansky district, were abolished and became directly subordinated to Naryan-Mar.
