One of the provinces of the Voronezh province - Bakhmut (the cities of Bakhmut, Borovsky, Krasnyansky and “other towns and settlements”) was divided between the Slobodsko-Ukrainian (in 1780 transformed into the Kharkov governorship) and the Novorossiysk governorates (the latter was organized a year earlier on the lands of the former New Serbia and the "Zadneprovskie places") and the land of the Don Cossacks.

Voronezh province - an administrative-territorial unit of the Russian Empire and the RSFSR, which existed from 1725 to 1779 and from 1796 to 1928. Provincial city - Voronezh. The Voronezh province was officially formed on April 25, 1725 as a result of the transformation of the Azov province. It consisted of 5 provinces: Bakhmut, Voronezh, Yelets, Tambov and Shatsk. In 1765, the southwestern parts of the Belgorod and Voronezh provinces were transferred to the Sloboda-Ukrainian province with a center in Kharkov, formed on the basis of the Sloboda Cossack regiments, the Bakhmut province was divided between the Sloboda-Ukrainian and Novorossiysk provinces and the land of the Don Cossacks. In 1779, during the administrative reform of Catherine II, the Voronezh province was divided into Voronezh and Tambov governorships. When the Voronezh governorship was formed, it included 15 counties: Belovodsky, Biryuchensky, Bobrovsky, Bogucharsky, Valuysky, Voronezh, Zadonsky, Zemlyansky, Kalitvyansky, Korotoyaksky, Kupensky, Livensky, Nizhnedevitsky, Ostrogozhsky, Pavlovsky. In 1784, at the Khrenovsky stud farm of Count Alexei Orlov, a new breed of horses, the Orlov Trotter, was bred. Mares from Friesland were crossed with Arabian and Arab-Danish stallions. On December 12, 1796, under Paul I, the Voronezh governorship was again transformed into the Voronezh province. In 1829, a peasant from the Biryuchensky district, Daniil Bokarev, was the first in the world to come up with a method for obtaining oil from sunflower seeds. In the autumn of 1891 - summer of 1892, the territory of the Voronezh province became part of the main zone of crop failure caused by drought (see Famine in Russia (1891-1892)). After the October Revolution of 1917, the Voronezh province almost completely became part of the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic (RSFSR) formed in 1918, except for the southern regions that became part of the newly created UPR. By the Decree of the Council of People's Commissars "On the procedure for changing provincial, district and other borders" dated January 27, 1918, local Councils of Workers', Peasants' and Soldiers' Deputies were given complete independence in resolving issues of changing borders, dividing regions, provinces, districts and volosts into parts, education new administrative or economic units. The decree of the All-Russian Central Executive Committee “On the administrative division of the Voronezh province” of January 4, 1923 approved 12 districts: Bobrovsky, Bogucharsky, Valuysky, Voronezh, Zadonsky, Kalacheevsky, Novokhopersky, Nizhnedevitsky, Ostrogozhsky, Pavlovsky, Rossoshansky, Usmansky. Due to the consolidation of volosts in 1924, their number in the districts of the Voronezh province decreased from 214 to 92. On May 14, 1928, the Voronezh province was abolished, its territory became part of the Central Black Earth Region, along with the former Kursk, Oryol and Tambov provinces with the center in the city of Voronezh. At the time of its formation, the Voronezh province occupied a vast space from Elatma in the north to the Sea of ​​Azov in the south and from Kupyansk in the west to Insar in the east. In the 19th century, the Voronezh province was located in the center of the European part of Russia in the upper reaches of the Don River. It bordered in the west - with Oryol and Kursk, in the northeast - with Tambov, in the east - with Saratov, in the south - with Kharkov provinces and with the Don Army Region in the southeast. The area of ​​the province was 66,580 km² in 1847, 65,892 km² in 1905, 67,016 km² in 1926. In 1797, Belovodsky, Bogucharsky, Livensky, Kalitvyansky, Kupensky, Ostrogozhsky districts were transferred to the restored Sloboda-Ukrainian province. In 1802, Bogucharsky, Ostrogozhsky, Starobelsky districts were alienated to the Voronezh province and Novokhopyorsky district was transferred from the Saratov province. In 1824, Starobelsky district was returned to the Sloboda-Ukrainian province. Thus, from 1824 to 1918, the province was divided into 12 districts. In 1918, Kalacheevsky district was formed from 22 volosts of the Bogucharsky district. On April 1, 1918, Biryuchensky district was renamed Alekseevsky. On January 4, 1923, Alekseevsky, Zemlyansky and Korotoyak districts were abolished, Rossoshansky district was formed, Usmansky district was transferred to the Voronezh province from Tambov. On May 12, 1924, Zadonsky, Kalacheevsky and Pavlovsky districts were abolished. Thus, in 1926 the province included 9 districts. Interesting facts: while in Voronezh, Peter I made a model of the fortress. The fortress, built later according to this model, was named Kronstadt. The Principium galley was assembled in Voronezh. It was on it that, on the way to Azov, Peter I signed the “Charter on Galleys,” which can be considered the first naval charter of Russia. For the first Russian regular Navy in 1696-1711, 215 ships were built in Voronezh. It was they who took part in the conquest of the Azov fortress. (Based on Wikipedia)
