Strelitskiy Stan (Strelitsa) — the territories on the right bank of the Volga at the mouth of the Oka, opposite the Nizhny Novgorod Kremlin.
The stan took shape only by the 17th century, absorbing the lands of the Strelitskaya volost and the Seyminsky beekeepers. The Strelitsky beekeepers had their own eponymous volost within Nizhny Novgorod Uyezd, while the Seyminsky beekeepers were part of the stan as a distinct population group.[1] Among the settlements of Strelitskiy Stan mentioned in the 17th century are the selo of Chyornoe and the villages of Babino and Igumnovo; within modern boundaries, this territory corresponds to the city of Dzerzhinsk and its surroundings.[2] Strelitskiy Stan was part of Nizhny Novgorod Uyezd — an administrative-territorial unit that existed from 1425 to 1929, with Nizhny Novgorod as its center.[1]
