Hrodna Voblast - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (554 words)
Hrodna Voblast (Province) or Grodno Oblast (Belarusian: Гро́дзенская во́бласць; Hrodzenskaya Voblasts; Russian: Гро́дненская о́бласть; Grodnenskaya Oblast) is a province (voblast) of Belarus.
Hrodna is known from 1128, here on the right steepen river bank two castles of the 14th - 18th centuries are located.
The Hrodna Voblast is subdivided into 17 districts (raions), 194 selsovets, 12 cities, 6 city municipalities, and 21 urban-type settlements.
Wikipedia: Voblast (128 words)
Voblast (вобласць in modern Belarusian or vobłaść in Lacinka, a Latin script used by Belarusian emigrants) is the major administrative subdivision in Belarus.
The latter may lead to some confusion, because the minor administrative division of Belarus is called rayon (the word is translated as "district" in the administrative division sense and "region" in other senses).
The current subdivision into voblasts is inherited from the subdivision of Belarus when it was part of the USSR, and the name is the Belarusian word for the Russian oblast.
