Rada is the term for "council" or "assembly" borrowed by Polish from the Low Franconian "Rad" (council) and later passed into the Czech, Ukrainian, and Belarusian languages.
Normally it is translated as "council". Sometimes it corresponds to "parliament", or in Soviet Union contexts, to "soviet". It also carries a meaning of advice as in the English word counsel.
