There are 20 raions (districts or counties) in Cherkasy oblast (state). Traditionally, Cherkashchyna included only right bank Ukraine; under the Soviets, three left bank raions were added to the oblast, numbers 2, 4, and 19 below (Chyhyryn, Drabiv and Zolotonosha raions). These areas would have been traditionally considered part of Poltavshchyna.
The raions in blue text below are those for which therе are examples of traditional folk pysanky included in Mytsyk and Fysun’s book.
