- Administrative/biographical history:
- The Kiev Provincial Military Conscription Office was part of the system of provincial military conscription offices organised during the military reform of 1874, which instituted universal conscription. It replaced the Kiev Provincial Recruit Office, and oversaw the preparation and course of call-ups for persons subject to conscription. It was under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and was in turn in charge of a network of county conscription offices of the Kiev province. It was dissolved in 1919.
