Caucasus Viceroyalty (1801–1917)
The Caucasus Viceroyalty (russian: Кавка́зское наме́стничество, translit=Kavkázskoye naméstnichestvo) was the Russian Empire's administrative and political authority in the Caucasus region exercised through the offices of ''glavnoupravlyayushchiy'' ("high commissioner") (1801–1844, 1882–1902) and ''namestnik'' ("viceroy") (1844–1882, 1904–1917). These two terms are commonly, but imprecisely, translated into English as viceroy, which is frequently used interchangeably with governor general. More accurately, ''glavnoupravlyayushchiy'' is referred to as the High Commissioner of the Caucasus, and ''namestnik'' as Viceroy. Over more than a century of the Russian rule of the Caucasus, the structure of the viceroyalty underwent a number of changes, with the addition or removal of administrative positions and redrawing of provincial divisions. History The first time Russian authority was established over the peoples of the Caucasus was after the Russia ...
