EVENK AUTONOMOUS OKRUG

'Evenk Autonomous Okrug' (, ''Evenkiysky avtonomny okrug''; Evenki: Эведы Автомоды Округ, ''Evedy avtomody okrug''), or 'Evenkia', was a federal subject of Russia (an autonomous okrug of Krasnoyarsk Krai). Its administrative center is Tura. As of 2006, at 767,600 km², it was Russia's seventh largest administrative division, and the country's least populous (17,697 as of the 2002 Census).
Following a referendum on the issue held on April 17, 2005, Evenk and Taymyr Autonomous Okrugs were merged into Krasnoyarsk Krai effective January 1, 2007. Administratively, they are now considered to be units with special status within Krasnoyarsk Krai and municipally they have status of municipal districts.
Boris Zolotaryov is the governor of the former okrug.
