	Subdivisions of Belarus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Voblast (вобласць/вобласьць in modern Belarusian or vobłaść in Lacinka) is the major administrative subdivision in Belarus.
		The recommended translation is the former one, because the latter may lead to confusion, since the minor administrative division of Belarus is called rajon (the word is translated as "district" in the administrative division sense and "region" in other senses) and the Belarusian word "рэгіён" is also translated as "region".
		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.
