Imperial Russia (Russian Empire) before 1917 was divided into governorates ('''gubernias''' or provinces). These were sub-divided into several '''uyezds''' or districts. Russia and Ukraine and other former Soviet republics were, and are still, divided into oblasts/provinces which were and are divided into raions/districts. Peripheral areas like the Caucasus sometimes use krai instead of raion for district. It is generally good to know both the old and the new jurisdictions in which a smaller place is located, because currently the FamilySearch Catalog uses the new jurisdictions for Ukraine, but the old ones for Russia. Archives all over the former Soviet Union concentrate their holdings according to oblast borders. Old documents refer to the old jurisdictions, and most of our Russian and Ukrainian microfilms are from the old Imperial time. | Imperial Russia (Russian Empire) before 1917 was divided into governorates ('''gubernias''' or provinces).
