Section I. General view of the development of regional administration in the 18th century

3. In the absence of participation in public interest, in the affairs of the country, the upper class also prevailed - in the noble affairs of the land. If in 1763 Catherine found herself forced to appeal to the Senate with the following compelling words: “those present in the Senate have internecine disagreement, enmity and hatred, and each of them does not tolerate the other, and therefore they split into parties, and try to find reasons for each other’s upset” - a word to say, they will produce actions that are uncharacteristic for the benevolent people; what’s all this about? There’s only boundless anger and discord, and no. 6894. - DSM 3 1-1 S. 3. No. 6318. to sew and maintain in good repair the streets in the villages, so that the dirt 8750. on the piha 18 would not be in Our interests, the desired benefits would not come to the lower subjects."), If, we say, the Empress addressed the highest representatives of the nobility with these words, who were at the head of the state administration, then what can we say about the provincial nobility5 - about the retired prime ministers and second majors, captain - lieutenants, sergeants and corporals living in their remote villages? *) Civil service lay for a long time and was considered to be like a burden, like corvée. Known, for example, is Danilov’s story about his son-in-law Astaev, who, having received a large family, began to serve in the regiment undiligently, and having found the regimental secretary Milenko 44 stivpa, he constantly took home leave: he would give it to the secretary. 12 darlings of the male sex with their wives and children, and receive a “passport °). When under Peter III, in 4727, deputies were appointed to Moscow from each tubernia to write a new document - then these deputies were so reluctant, % that in 1798, those who did not appear 0 had their estates and pomfets transferred to the treasury "). Liberated command! Having been forced from compulsory service by Peter III, the nobles began to refuse zemstvo service. The sad, characteristic feature of the life of the 18th century, is presented to us by Bloom, in his essay about tr. Sievers. When Sievers was the Novgorod governor, deputies from the nobility were elected to the commission to draw up a draft of a new law. Sievers invited the nobles and his governor to proceed with the elections, but one OF THEM refused, claiming that by the decree of Peter IG the nobility was exempted from compulsory service. And how did the elections of deputies sometimes take place? Let us point out one primfr. Shaw was invited Governor General Rumyavtsov, the dance of the Nyzhinsky and Baturinsky districts came together to select deputies in 1167. A land judge was elected as leader, and then as deputies, Laa - and soon died. The punishment awarded to Lazyrev by the judge was accepted by the judge as sgsopz!apee eibopap (yes, two circumstances: that the one killed in Pantelfev was Lizyrev’s own peasant and 2) the headquarters - the officer’s honor of the criminal. Another case is no less typical. Retired commissioner, Vasya esterov. being in a drunken state, in 1153 he beat one of his peasants, Filipia Tikhonov, burned him with fire, and then at night put him bound under the floor, where he was soon beaten and rested.

However, sometimes the pompists were subjected to severe punishment for abusing their property rights: for example, “the tormentor and murderer” * widow Nikolaeva was severely punished for the fact that “the torturer killed quite a number of her cruel people to death” No. 13. 2111. - 3) Si. historical letters from Ave. Solovyov. p.

Without giving Seletsky authority, without writing an order, the nobility disbanded without permission, postponing the completion of the matter until the end of the month. After this meeting was over, they got together a second time, and began to compose the show. But then the comedy began: in order to explain their needs and desires, they began to talk about circumstances that were not at all relevant. Then some of the nobles, including Deputy Seletsy, began to contradict them, reminding them of the direct matter. The nobility became so embittered against Seletskato; that, having forgotten the promise made to him under oath, it took advantage of the simplicity of Colonel Tarnavot, and forced him to choose another deputy - subcommittee Grigory Dolinsky. All the praises of Governor General Rumyantsov were in vain: “they did not bring any harm to these deluded ones.”
