Vistula Land or Vistula Country (Russian: Привислинский Край, Privislinsky Krai; Polish: Kraj Nadwiślański) was the name applied to the lands of the Kingdom of Poland following the defeats of the November Uprising (1830–31) and January Uprising (1863-1864) as it was increasingly stripped of autonomy and incorporated into Imperial Russia. It also continued to be informally known as Russian Poland or the Russian partition.
