Petseri County (Estonian: Petserimaa) was a county of Estonia established in 1918.[citation needed] Since 1944, however, most of the county has been administered as Pechorsky District of Pskov Oblast, first by the Russian SFSR and then, from 1991, by Russia.[1] Estonia retains territories that today constitute Setomaa Parish in modern Võru County.
