History eedit

Historically, the aurie wis first mentioned in the Primary Chronicle, which describes that in 862 Truvor, a legendar brither o Rurik, the first prince o Rus', became the prince o Izborsk in 862. The current scholarly interpretation denies the existence o Truvor, but in ony case the aurie wis awready a pairt o the Roushie Launds in the 9t century. Later, it wis dependent on Pskov, an in 1510 thegither wi Pskov it wis includit intae the Grand Duchy o Moscow. The Pskov-Cave Monastery wis foondit in the 15t century. In the course o the admeenistrative reform carriet oot in 1708 bi Peter the Great, the aurie wis includit intae Ingermanland Govrenorate (kent syne 1710 as Saunt Petersburg Govrenorate). In 1727, separate Novgorod Govrenorate wis split aff, an in 1772, Pskov Govrenorate (which existit as Pskov Viceryalty atween 1777 an 1796) wis establisht. In 1776, Pechory wis grantit toun status an Pechorsky Uyezd wis establisht, but in 1797, Pechorsky Uyezd wis abolisht, an the aurie became a pairt o Pskovsky Uyezd o Pskov Govrenorate.[10]

Durin the last year o Warld War I, frae Februar tae Dizember 1918, the toun o Pechory wis occupee'd bi German forces. The toun wis subsequently captured bi Estonie forces on 29 Mairch 1919, durin the Estonie War o Unthirldom. The Treaty o Tartu, signed on 2 Februar 1920, assigned Pechory an its surroondin territory, the Setomaa region, tae Estonie. Pechory wis renamit Petseri an the aurie became Petseri Coonty (Petserimaa). In 1940, Estonie became a pairt o the Soviet Union, an the aurie became a pairt o the Estonie Soviet Socialist Republic (Estonie SSR). Atween August 1941 an August 1944, the aurie wis occupee'd bi German troops. On 16 Januar 1945, the greater pairt o Petserimaa wis transferred frae the Estonie SSR tae Pskov Oblast, an Pechorsky Destrict wi the admeenistrative centre in Pechory wis creatit.[7]
