History

Klimovichskiy Uyezd was formed in March 1777. In 1796, the Uyezd became a part of the Belarusian Governorate. In 1802, it became a part of the Mogilev Governorate.[1]

From 1919, Klimovichskiy Uyezd became part of the newly formed Gomel Governorate of the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic.

Starting in 1923, Soviet uyezds began transforming into different administrative districts called Raions.[2] In June 1927, Klimovichskiy Uyezd officially became a part of the Belorussian Mogilev District.[1]

gollark: I think TOML is generally a nice config format.
gollark: Because it doesn't use quotes, and implicit whitespace.
gollark: There is literally a website to explain the various ways YAML does multiline strings.
gollark: The YAML spec is *gigantic*, you run into problems with its weird implicit typing stuff (I think "no", which you may need as a country code or something, is a boolean, and "034" is an octal literal), most parsers default to "wildly unsafe and insecure" for some bizarre reason, and there are far too many ways to do everything.
gollark: YAML's a bit of a terrible format, I have to agree.
