A '''stanitsa
==Etymology==
The Russian word is the [[diminutive]] of the word {{lang|ru|stan}} ({{lang|ru|стан}}), which means "station" or "police district". It is distantly related to the [[Sanskrit]] word {{lang|sa|sthāna}} ({{lang|sa|स्थान}}), which means "station", "locality", or "district".<ref>{{Cite web |title=stanitsa |url=https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/stanitsa |access-date=2023-12-29 |website=Merriam-Webster |language=en}}</ref>

An assembly of landowners governed each stanitsa community. This assembly distributed land, oversaw institutions like schools, and elected a stanitsa administration and court. The stanitsa administration consisted of an [[Ataman]], a collection of legislators, and a [[treasurer]].<ref name=eou/>
All inhabitants, except for non-Cossacks, were considered members of the stanitsa. Non-Cossacks were required to pay a fee to use the local land owned by the stanitsa.<ref name=eou/>

===In the Russian Empire===
The stanitsa was first an administrative unit in the 18th century.<ref name=eou/> In the late 18th century, when the Cossack peoples largely lost their autonomy within the empire, they still kept self-governance at the level of the stanitsa;<ref>{{Cite book |last=Kenez |first=Peter |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=eEtx7cPnIGwC
