History
The territory of the Voronezh Oblast has been inhabited since the Paleolithic period. There are traces of ancient human stay on Russian soil ( Kostenko ) . Voronezh land at that time was a periglacial tundra, inhabited by mammoths , woolly rhinos and wild horses. The initial population of the region , which lived 40 million years ago had a negroid appearance (Markina Gora) , were by the Cro-Magnons .
Mesolithic and Neolithic periods weakly represented in archaeological finds and represents a " white spot " of history. In the Bronze Age (II millennium BC) to the province settled pastoralist tribes Abashevo culture.
In the era of the Iron Age region became part of Scythia. Scythians Sarmatians changed . It is assumed that they gave the name of the Don River . The descendants of Sarmatian Alans in the early Middle Ages moved to a sedentary lifestyle and mastered the skills of urban culture (Mayatsky mound), joining the complex symbiosis in nomads (Bulgars , Khazars).
In the IX century on the territory of the region came under Slavic rule (Romenskaya - Borschevskaya culture). According to some reports , they create an independent state guys on the outskirts of the Khazaria. The raids of nomads (Pechenegs) prevented the occupation of the Voronezh region , so the area was called Wild Field . From the era of the Golden Horde were traces of Mousqes and mausoleums. After the collapse of the Golden Horde in the territory of the Voronezh region laid Nogai Way by which the Nogai Horde khans Prikubansk raided the Russian land. In large raids involving thousands of horsemen, armed with swords and bows and arrows . The main objective of the raids was the capture of prisoners that through Azov sold into slavery in the markets of the Ottoman Empire . At the same time, the Christian population of the region, assimilated some elements of the culture of the nomads and the gene pool is made up Cossacks ( Don Cossacks , Pristansky.
The overthrow of the Tatar yoke and the formation of a centralized Russian state in the late 15th century led to the revival of Voronezh Territory.

Small, fortified towns began to spring up on the southern borders of the Russian state in the second half of the 16th century to defend it from Tatar raids.

During the Soviet period, the high authority in the oblast was shared between three persons: The first secretary of the Voronezh CPSU Committee (who in reality had the biggest authority), the chairman of the oblast Soviet (legislative power), and the Chairman of the oblast Executive Committee (executive power). Since 1991, CPSU lost all the power, and the head of the Oblast administration, and eventually the governor was appointed/elected alongside elected regional parliament.

The Legislative Assembly exercises its authority by passing laws, resolutions, and other legal acts and by supervising the implementation and observance of the laws and other legal acts passed by it. The highest executive body is the Oblast Government, which includes territorial executive bodies such as district administrations, committees, and commissions that facilitate development and run the day to day matters of the province. The Oblast administration supports the activities of the Governor who is the highest official and acts as guarantor of the observance of the oblast Charter in accordance with the Constitution of Russia.
