Georgia-Imeretia Governorate


The Georgia-Imeretia Governorate was a short-lived governorate of the Caucasus Viceroyalty of the Russian Empire, administered from Tiflis. Roughly corresponding to modern Georgia and parts of Armenia and Azerbaijan, it was created in 1840 from the territory of the Georgia Governorate and the oblasts of Imeretia and Armenia.
