From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Baranavichy Oblast (Belarusian: Баранавіцкая вобласць, Russian: Барановичская Область) was a territorial unit in the Belarusian Soviet Socialist Republic created after the annexation of West Belarus into the BSSR in November 1939. The administrative centre of the province was the city of Baranavichy.

The oblast was made up of 26 raions. On January 8, 1954 the oblast was liquidated and the raions were divided between the Brest and Minsk Olbasts (Modern Brest Voblast and Minsk Voblast)
