duma list

source jewishgen.org

These people were eligible to vote in the Russian Duma (parliament) in 1906 or 1907. There were property qualification and one had to be male. The lists were published in newspapers. Not all lists survived, but one can get an idea of where some of the Pokrassa families lived in 1907...which does not necessarily exclude other localities. At the time it was difficult for Jews to live in the city of Kiev, which may explain while there is no one from the city of Kiev. Kiev was the capital of the Kiev Gubernia (Province). The Russian empire was divided into  Gubernias (Provinces) which carried the names of their capitol cities.  These did not necessarily coincide with national boundaries after the Russian empire collapsed...or after the Soviet Union collapsed. For example the former Vilna Gubernia is now partly in Lithuania and partly in Belarus.
