reiimidevahelised

Reiimidevahelised refers to the period between two reigns in Estonian history. This term specifically applies to the transitions of power in the Grand Duchy of Estonia, which was under Russian rule from the early 18th century until 1917. These intervals occurred when a monarch passed away and their successor had not yet formally ascended to the throne. During reiimidevahelised, the existing administrative structures and governing bodies generally continued to function, maintaining continuity in governance. The specific duration of these periods varied depending on the circumstances of the succession. While not a distinct political entity, the concept highlights the processes of royal succession and the temporary administrative arrangements that characterized the Estonian governorship under the Russian Empire. These periods are typically documented in historical records related to the Russian imperial family and the administration of its Baltic provinces.
