Governorates-General (Russian: генерал-губернаторство, romanized: general-gubernatorstvo) were a type of administrative-territorial division in the Russian Empire from 1775 to 1917. Governorates-General usually comprised a set of guberniyas and oblasts. The term was occasionally used to refer to krais or military guberniyas. Moscow and Saint-Petersburg Governorates were placed into a separate governorate-general.
