Good luck, gineita!

governorate/guberniya
of course, province is the most familiar word for Anglosaxons, but you can use the name, which is related to original word
governorate is hardly ever referred to Russia (and former "russian" territorries)
guberniya occurs more often
anyway, those names are more often placed at russian sites, anglosaxon sites prefer province
