Add article description

The Volhynia electoral district (Russian: Волынский избирательный округ) was a constituency created for the 1917 Russian Constituent Assembly election. The electoral district covered the Volhynian Governorate.[3] The western parts of the governorate were under German or Austrian occupation.[4] U.S. historian Oliver Henry Radkey, whose account forms the basis of the table below, expresses concern that the account from Volhynia (exclusively brought from a 1918 study by N. S. Sviatitski) may have been largely incomplete, possibly an effect of the proximity to the battle lines.[4]
