Vistulan Country (, Privislyansky Krai; ) was the name for the lands of Congress Poland, after the defeat of the November Uprising (1830-31) increasingly stripped from autonomy and incorporated into Imperial Russia. It also continued to be informally known as Russian Poland.After 1837 all voivodeships that constituted the Kingdom of Poland were turned into gubernias and became an integral part of Russia, ruled directly by the Russian tsars. In 1831 the Polish Army, constitution, Sejm and local self-administration were disbanded. Also all universities were closed, only to be reopened several years later as purely-Russian high schools.
