Governorate-General (Russian: Генерал-губернаторство) was an administrative-territorial division of the Russian Empire from 1775–1917. Governorate-General usually consisted of set of guberniyas, oblasts. Sometimes used interchangeably with krai (land) or military guberniya. Moscow and Saint-Petersburg governorates were designated into a separate governorate-generals.
Governorate-General was governed by governor-general, a military leader of the land. Governor-generals supervised governors, but did not directly participate in the administration of the subordinated guberniyas, except for Moscow and Saint-Petersburg.
