pos: noun
examples: It should also be taken into account, that the creation of okruga was carried out without consideration of the country’s economic divisions and regions’ economic potentials. The number and structure of federal okruga should be specified further. Therefore, given that okruga continue evolving as centers of governance over social and economic territorial development, change of structure and organization principles can be viewed as a long­ term task.
Eighteen additional nationalities had territorial enclaves (autonomous oblasts and okruga) but possessed very little power of self-government.
In 1929 the eight uezdy were replaced by five okruga.

But, without preaching, the truth may surely be borne in mind, that the bustle, and triumph, and laughter, and gaiety which Vanity Fair exhibits in public, do not always pursue the performer into private life, and that the most dreary depression of spirits and dismal repentances sometimes overcome him. Recollection of the best ordained banquets will scarcely cheer sick epicures.
The refreshments which the servants had prepared were now put on the table, and an epicure would perhaps have enjoyed them with additonal zest, from the contrast which such fare afforded to the miserable cabin in which it was served up.
