ОКРУГ

This company, ОКРУГ, is a historical name for a jurisdictional division established in 1836 in Belarus. The country was divided into several (initially five, later eight) circular districts, or okrugs, based on existing janissary divisions and a separate janissary regiment. The term okrug continues to be used in modern Belarusian politics, specifically in electoral contexts. For instance, there are several electoral districts named after this historical term. The Brest Regional Election Commission's website mentions a Brestskyy-Centralny okrug, which includes a part of Moscow District in the city of Brest, bordered by Moskovskaya Street and the Muhavetz River. Another example is the Trodovichsky izbiarny okrug #22, which is a part of the Kransnopolski
