| description: | The project is devoted to an analysis of the functioning mechanism of the Russian central administration, its local governmental bodies and provincial self-governments, and the finding out of changes in their mutual interrelations, focusing on the period from the Crimean War in 1854-56 until the 1905 revolution. The main emphasis is placed on the administrative history in a close connection with the social history with an aim to observe the instruments of the administrative system used for solving social problems of the society. A closer investigation is carried out into the activities of the ministry of internal affairs, the ministry of justice, the ministry of finance (T.Rosenberg) as well as the ministry of state assets and the ministry of agriculture (K.Lust) along with the activities of local institutions in the administrative fields of the former (incl. the personnel) and their cooperation with local self-governmental structures (appertaining to knighthood, municipal and peasant communities), primarily in social welfare work (K.Roosileht). One of the purposes of the project is to conduct a source-based instructive expertise in the abundant data procured by the statistical service in the latter half of the 19th century as well as in the Governor reports, grounded on the data. The principal source of the project is an extensive and overwhemingly not investigated material pertinent to the theme in historical archives in St Petersburg, Riga, Marburg and Tartu. . |
