Dear SEELANGers--
I have successfully thought myself into a corner and must ask for assistance.
I'm translating a Ukrainian text set during and immediately after WWII and
dealing specifically with the Ukrainian Insurgent Army. If anyone can recommend
a good English-language resource for military terminology, that would be great,
but I think I can manage that with the patchwork of sources I've found. My
problem is with another concept.
Stanytsia (станиця) and stanychnyj (станичний) come up several times in the
text, and I understand them to refer to the civil administration, i.e. stanytsia
being a local unit of UIA/OUN-run civil administration and stanychnyj being its
main representative. Now all I need are one-word translations for both. Any
ideas? Am I wrong in my understanding of the terms?
Thanks to everyone in advance!
Nina Murray
