The 1895 Vsia Rossia
for Poltava, Chernigov, Kiev, Volhynia and Bessarabia Gubernias
Compiled by Bert Lazerow
This is an index to
entries for Chernigov, Poltava, Kiev, Volhynia and Bessarabia gubernias in
the 1895 Russian business directory Vsia Rossia.
This
database is an index to the contents of Vsia Rossia of 1895, for
Chernigov (2,227 listings), Poltava (2,397 listings), Kiev (4,418 listings),
Volhynia (1,879 listings) and Bessarabia (1,482 listings) guberniyas. Today,
the first four gubernias are in north-central Ukraine, and Bessarabia is
primarily in Moldova. There are a total of 12,404 separate listings, but
fewer individuals are involved, as some persons are listed multiple times
because they had several businesses.
Vsia Rossia ("All of Russia") is a business directory covering all of
Russia. The portion indexed is arranged by guberniya (province), then
by uezd (district) within each guberniya. First are the
listings for the capital city; then listings for the outlying area; finally,
separate listings for any town with sufficient listings to justify it. Within
each listing, government officials come first, then manufacturing trades in
alphabetical order, then retail trades.
Copies
of the 1895 Vsia Rossia exist on microfilm at the Library of Congress
(Washington, DC), the libraries of UCLA, Stanford (California), and the New
York Public Library. At the Library of Congress, the microfilm is hardly in
mint condition from repeated usage, and their microfilm readers are not the
best in the world.
