Rural councils of Belarus
Rural councils of Belarus (Belarusian: сельсаветы, Russian: сельсоветы, selsoviets) are the lowest-level rural territorial units of the country. They are subordinated to districts of Belarus. If a rural council includes agrotowns, then one of them is the administrative center of the rural council, with some exceptions.[1]
The system was introduced in 1924, when the whole Soviet Union replaced its administrative division inherited from the Russian Empire.[2]
According to the 2009 Belarusian census, the numbers of rural councils were:
- Brest region: 222[3]
- Gomel region: 259[4]
- Grodno region: 178 [5]
- Minsk region: 294[6]
- Mogilev region: 192[7]
- Vitebsk region: 200[8]
According to the 2019 Belarusian census, the numbers of rural councils were:
