& laquo; We draw the attention of residents of the Republic of Karelia that & nbsp; following & nbsp; decree of the President of the Russian Federation of November 12 & nbsp; # 8470; & nbsp; 651, which since & nbsp; 1 & nbsp; January 2022 are recognized as invalid acts regulating the assignment of the territories of Karelia to & nbsp; regions of the Far North, a decree of the government of the Russian Federation will be signed & raquo;, & nbsp; & mdash; said in the & nbsp; message.
The authorities explained that & nbsp; the list of regions of the Far North and & nbsp; areas equated to & nbsp; such areas was established by a decree of the Council of Ministers of the USSR in & nbsp; 1983 & nbsp; g.
According to the document, five districts of Karelia were recognized as territories of the Far North, the rest – as areas equated to the regions of the Far North.
Over the & nbsp; several decades, many amendments were made to the & nbsp; decree, inaccuracies were made, so the authorities decided to update the document. Now in the & nbsp; government for & nbsp; approval there is a corresponding draft resolution, in which the districts of Karelia are included in the & nbsp; former composition, noted in the & nbsp; regional government.
