Stanitsa
A stanitsa or stanitza (/stəˈniːtsə/; Russian: станица [stɐˈnʲitsə]), also spelled stanycia (станиця [stɐˈnɪtsʲɐ] in Ukrainian) or stanica (станіца [stɐˈɲitsɐ] in Belarusian), was a historical administrative unit of a Cossack host, a type of Cossack polity that existed in the Russian Empire.[1] The stanitsa was a unit of economic and political organisation of the Cossack peoples who lived in the Russian Empire.Beginning in 1919, the Soviet regime pursued a policy of genocide[5][6][7][8][9] and systematic repression against Cossacks known as De-Cossackization.[13] On 20 April 1919, the Red Army's Southern Front issued an order renaming the stanitsas to generic volosts, or counties.Local revolutionary committees assisted in this, passing resolutions in parallel to destroy the stanitsa as a social unit.
