Oblast of Siberian Kirghiz

The Oblast of Siberian Kirghiz () was an administrative-territorial unit of the Russian Empire, which existed from 1854 to 1868. The administrative centre was the city of Omsk.

History

The Oblast was formed by the Supreme Approval on May 19, 1854.

In the personal decree given to the Senate on May 19, 1854, it was stated:

The region included the Kokchetav, Kushmurun, Akmola, Bayanaul and Karkaraly districts, populated by Kyrgyz Middle Zhuz.

By the decree of April 12, 1859, the Kush-Murunsky District was abolished, its volosts were included in the Kokchetav District, and the Atbasar District was formed.

The Siberian Kirghiz Region was liquidated by the Personal Decree given to the Senate on October 21, 1868, No. 46380 "On the transformation of the management of the Kirghiz steppes of the Orenburg and Siberian departments and the Ural and Siberian Cossack troops."

The territory is divided into Akmola and Semipalatinsk Oblast. Before the opening of Akmola Oblast on January 1, 1869, the city of Omsk was temporarily included in Tobolsk Governorate.

Administrative division

The regional center, the city of Omsk, was not part of the region, being an independent administrative unit located on the territory of the Tobolsk province.

Symbolism

The Siberian Kirghiz Region did not have an approved coat of arms.

A draft coat of arms for this region is known - in a red field of the shield, Cossack pikes laid crosswise, on top of which is a horse's head. In 1868, this concept of the coat of arms will be used for the coat of arms of the Turgay Region.
