Klichaw

Klichaw, recorded as Klichevo in 1592, was a settlement of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania in the Olsa river country. Its later incorporation into the Russian Empire in 1793 changed the sovereign authority without immediately removing older estate relationships. The revision list of 30 August 1795 placed it in Igumen district of Minsk Governorate, within the Liuboshan starosty held for life by Ludwik Tyszkiewicz under a royal privilege confirmed by an imperial rescript in 1794.

That register offers a close view of the agricultural community. Its Uniate farming section enumerated 32 households, with 113 males and 109 females, recording multigenerational families rather than only individual cultivators. These figures describe the listed group, not necessarily every inhabitant. Klichaw's late eighteenth-century society combined farming households, Uniate religious affiliation and estate authority across the political rupture of partition.
