1. About Governor Menshikov, in other decrees of the same time called the General Governor *), it is directly stated in the decree of 1703, which ordered ‘to recruit into the regiment of Governor Menshikov ‘from the freely elected one thousand people of the best °),’ and by the next decree, the cities of Poshekhonye were annexed to the governorship of 2nd Governor Menshikov, Byloozero and Kargopol with counties *). The Nigerland (Izhora) was mentioned either by the governors 5), or by the governors °) back in 1706. But this was a newly conquered region, lying near the theater of war: it soon received a new structure. Governors appear everywhere only after the decree of December 18, 1708, when the sovereign headed the Near Chancellery “for the benefit of the whole people, create 8 tubernias, and paint cities around them.” Considering this initial conflict between Russia and the governors with other circumstances of that time, we explain it by Peter’s financial and military considerations. In general, the beginning of “state profit” was initially the most visible beginning in the legislative framework of Peter. This began as the basis for the division of Russia into provinces. Indeed, with the division of the state into a smaller number of large regional units, ) I.S. 3 M 1910.- 2 1 S

No. 1931. - you will open prrrnatusayuins and her aunt And y3b in which in each, with a salary system, the amount of government income was determined in a precise way - it was easier to carry out the calculation. Dalfe, each governor had to maintain the established state regulations at her own expense: this was the peculiarity of Peter’s financial system. So, after forming the province, the sovereign calculated the amount of government revenue for the provinces at 3,051. 996 rub. '), from which a certain part was supposed to go to the maintenance of regiments - army and garrison, part to the maintenance of the Fleet,. embassy captaincy and artillery "). For a more correct and equal distribution of recruitment and other duties, which were so diverse and numerous during the reign of Peter V., it was also necessary to introduce a more correct and uniform adupipstrative division. We mastered for the distribution of taxes and duties in the beginning. Your parish Peter V. served as a household inventory of 186; by 1741, the governors were ordered to compile new inventories of peasant households and courtyard people for each in their province, and in each dwarf to enumerate people of both sexes separately); the yards were divided into shares: in each province there was a certain number of shares "); And from that time on, duties began to be laid out according to the governors, determined by the shares of the yards: this was how the collection of recruits and horses was distributed 5), the collection of carpenters and other fees °). To what extent the division of Roses into provinces was determined by the financial considerations of Peter, the following fact clearly shows: in 1713 t. Vyaznikovskaya Sloboda and Novaya Slobodka were expelled from Kazan-"

In 1710, the governorate was appointed: gubernia. and were annexed to the Moscow, but with the TBM and the possessions from them were deducted from the salaries of the Kazan province. and added to the salaries of Moscow '). In connection with the financial considerations that prompted Peter to split up Roseya in the province, there were military considerations: the division of regiments into military apartments for governors, and their maintenance, with the income of each governor °). In a word, the initial division of Russia into governorates was a consequence of Peter’s administrative considerations. The idea of government profit. moved all the legislative decrees of the converter, and Russia, with his plans, had to become a mechanism, obeying the hands of the master mechanic, and it is obvious: the structure of this mechanism was simpler and monosyllable, it was easier to refuel. Based on the consideration of the Finns, we think that by a personal decree of December 18, 1708, Baizhgei Kaitselyarsh ordered “for the general benefit of the people, to teach 8 governors, and to decorate cities for them.” There were 34 cities at that time! They were painted on the corresponding 8 provinces:
1. Moscow, from ch. the city of Moscow and 39 cities.
2. Pigermaidlanskaya, with the towns of St. Petersburg and 99 cities, among which Ymburg and Koporye were given over to the dominion. Meishikov.
3. Yuovskaya, from ch. the city of Fev and 56 cities.
4. Smolenskaya, from ch. the city of Smolensk and 17 cities,
5. Arkhangelskaya, from ch. city of Arkhangelsk and 20 cities.
6. Kazan, from ch. the city of Kazapya and 71 cities.
