What Wikipedia says

A governorate (Russian: губе́рния, romanized: gubérniya, pre-1918 spelling: губе́рнія, IPA: [ɡʊˈbʲernʲɪjə] ) was the principal first-level administrative division of the Tsardom of Russia and the Russian Empire from 1708 to 1917. Governorates were subdivided into uezds (districts) and further partitioned into volosts.
