	Volost - Biocrawler (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Volost or volost' (Russian: во́лость) was a traditional administrative subdivision in Russia.
		In earlier East Slavic history, volost was a name for the territory ruled by the knyaz (prince); either as an absolute ruler or with varying degree of autonomy from the superior knyaz (Grand Prince).
		In modern Russia, subdivision into volosts is used by the Republic of Karelia, where volosts have the same status as raions (districts) and national districts, and by Samara, Leningrad, and Tula Oblasts, where volosts are considered subdivisons of raions and have the same status as selsovets in other Russian federal subjects.
