Varzuzhskaya Volost

Varzuzhskaya Volost (Russian: Варзужская волость) was an administrative division (a volost) of the Novgorod Republic and later of the Grand Duchy of Moscow, Tsardom of Russia, and the Russian Empire.

[1] It was lost by the Novgorod Republic to the Grand Duchy of Moscow after the Battle of Shelon in 1471.

[1] In the 16th century, most of the Kola Peninsula's territory was under the administration of Kolsky Uyezd.

Varzuzhskaya and Umbskaya Volosts were the only territories of the peninsula which were a part of Dvinsky Uyezd.

[1] When the viceroyalty was transformed into Arkhangelsk Governorate in 1796, the volost's jurisdiction again changed accordingly.
