WHAT DOES GUBERNIYA MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Guberniya

A guberniya was a major and principal administrative subdivision of the Russian Empire usually translated as government, governorate, or province. Such administrative division was preserved for some time upon the collapse of the empire in 1917. A guberniya was ruled by a governor, a word borrowed from Latin gubernator, in turn from Greek kybernetes. Sometimes the term guberniya was informally used to refer to the office of a governor. Selected guberniyas were united under an assigned Governor General such as Grand Duchy of Finland, Tsardom of Poland, Russian Turkestan and others. There also were military governors such as Kronshtadt, Vladivostok, and others. Aside of guberniyas, other types of divisions were oblasts and okrug.
