:''You may also be looking for Ukrainian Kholm Governorate from 1918–1919.'' Kholm Governorate or Chełm Governorate (, ''Kholmskaya Guberniya''; (ポーランド語:gubernia chełmska)) was an administrative unit (governorate) of the Russian Empire. Its capital was in Chełm (Russian and Ukrainian: Холм ''Kholm''). It was created from eastern parts of Siedlce Governorate and Lublin Governorate in 1912. It was separated from the Privislinsky Krai and joined to Kiev General Governorate as "core Russian territory", as a precaution in case Privislinsky Krai territories should be taken from the Russian Empire in an upcoming war. Another reason for this administrative change was to facilitate Russification and conversion of the non-Eastern Orthodox Christians.〔Norman Davies, ''God's Playground: A History of Poland'', Columbia University Press, 2005, ISBN 0-231-12819-3, (Print, p.278 )〕 According to Russian statistical sources in 1914, while the area of the governorate was 10 460 km2, it was inhabited by approximately 912,095 inhabitants of whom about 50.1% were ''Little Russians'' (a demonym used for Ukrainians in Tsarist Russia) (446,839), 30.5% Poles, 15.8% Jews.〔http://www.hist.msu.ru/Labs/UkrBel/sklarov.htm (in Russian)〕 However during the retreat of the Russian Army in the summer of 1915, the Russian command gave orders to evacuate the "Russian population" of Kholm region. Due to that policy, about 2/3 of the Ukrainian population was deported to the Russian Empire in June–July 1915. The number of deported population was reaching some 300,000 people and thus significantly changing the national composition in the region. ==References== 〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Kholm Governorate」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
