The formation of territorial divisions in Russia Rubra by example of the Lviv area

Summary/Abstract: The territorial divisions of Russia Rubra has already been studied by researchers. However, a reliable and holistic coverage of these issues is still missing. The very article, by the example of the Lviv area, shows a complicated and dynamic process of the formation of a territorial divisions of Russia Rubra, especially its multi-stagism and multi-structure noticed by the latest literature. The division in question was not homogeneous and stable, but was actively shaped. An Old-Russian system of settlement was being slowly and evolutionally replaced with a division into medieval town circles (districtus, a district) used in the management and administration of the province. A dynamic division into circles became a basis for other territory structures, a division into voivodships, lands, districts as well as medieval starosty in the 15th century. The Lviv area in the course of the changes was composed of six such circles, three medieval starosties and two districts.
