Stolbtsy

    0.01 sec.
Stolbtsy 

a city (since 1940) and administrative center of Stolbtsy Raion, Minsk Oblast, Byelorussian SSR. Situated on the Neman River, 78 km southwest of Minsk. Railroad station on the Minsk-Baranovichi line. Stolbtsy has an industrial combine and branches of the Minsk meat-processing and milk combines, as well as a fruit and vegetable cannery and other enterprises of the food-processing industry.


Stolbtsy 

a type of record keeping in the state institutions of 16th-and 17th-century Russia, whereby documents were glued together and preserved in the form of scrolls. The text ran across the width of each sheet, with the reverse side left blank for notes, addresses, and the like. Documents making up a single record unit because of some common feature were glued together to form a long band, which was then rolled into a scroll—the stolbets. Official scribes (seePOD’IACHII) fastened together the several sheets of a record unit and signed them on the reverse side at the fastening point. When a single stolbets included several separate units, each of these was called a stolbik or stolpik.
