- Administrative/biographical history:
- An “okrug” is a subdivision of a region (oblast) that is larger than a district (uyezd). The “okrug” division of state administration was phased out in the Soviet Union by 1938. The Kamyanets Okrug is located in the the Khmelnytskyi region (oblast) (known as Proskurov until 1954) Region of the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic. After 1991, Khmelnytskyi became part of independent Ukraine.
