Uyezd or uezd (Russian: уе́зд) was an admistrative subdivision of Rus', Muscovy, and Russia used from the 13th century, originally describing groups of several volosts formed around the most imprortant cities.
Uyezds were ruled by the represenatives (namestniks) of knyaz and, starting from the 17th century, by voyevodas.
The subdivision into uyezds was abolished at that time and was only reinstated in 1727, as a result of Catherine I's administrative reform.

All facts of brutalities, murders and victims in all villages are expounded in the affair of the inspection of the uyezd and in enclosed acts and documents to it.

The subject of the publication is religion and policy in a Russian province, peculiarities of their manifestation in the everyday life of a typical uyezd in Central Russia within the 50 years period from the abolition of serfdom and to the February Revolution of 1917.
The publication is based on the archive materials and published uyezd and gubernia (province) sources of Shuya uyezd in Vladimir gubernia (province) sources of Shuya uyezd in Vladimir gubernia.
The author concludes that under the strict centralization of governing and total prohibition of any political activity the uyezd authorities were pursuing a very specific "policy without policy"—creating special religious and political reality within the limited administrative-geographical area.

 New Economic Developments in Peasant Life   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
The gubernia was divided in uyezds (counties), each with its administrative centre and these, in turn, were divided into volosts (rural districts) containing a number of villages.
Peasant rentings of non-allotment land are divorced from the renting of allotment land, from general data on the economic classification of the peasants and the size of the crop area; they are regarded only as part of peasant farming, whereas actually they are often a special method of private-landowner farming.
Postnikov apparently does not class it under the "new economic developments in peasant life" (at least, he does not mention it in his preface, where he sums up the results of his work), but it is deserving of far more attention than the introduction of machines or the extension of cropping by the well-to-do peasants.

Each community had either a state rabbi or his assistant - their functions were the same, but state rabbi was in the main town of the uyezd, his assistants - in every community.
As you may have noticed from our records, in the elections of the rabbi of the main town of each uyezd participated the representatives from all the communities of this uyezd, at least in the beginning of the 20th century.
The elections were held by the community, but under the control of local administration and police, and the results had to be confirmed by Kaunas guberniya administration - among the records of this Kaunas guberniya administration are separate files on these elections for various communities where we find these lists.
