Subject: [SEELANGS] Ukrainian translation help: stanychnyi etc.

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
