7. Azovskaya, from ch. the city of Azov and 77 cities, of which 25 cities were assigned to the Voronezh naval forces.
8. Siberian, from ch. the city of Tobolesk and 39 cities 3). The basis for assigning the city to the provinces was the distance: the number of turns of the city being located from the central city of the province So initially to the Azov province. Kharkiv, Valki, Korocha and other cities were assigned, but then, when they realized how far these cities were from Azov (Kharkiv 600 century, Valki 650, Korocha 560), and from Kev (Kharkiv 340 century, Valki 950, Korocha 360)—these cities were deducted from the Azov province. and attached to Kmevskaya. Trubchevsk from the Smolensk lips is based on the same principles. was assigned to: evekoy, Odoev.--from shchev-=. skoy to Smolensk, etc. '). The Guberysh thus formed large administrative regions, and the ranks became more unnecessary. However, back in 1713, the Novgorod ranks were mentioned *), in 1114 3) and even in 1121 “) the ranks of the city and sfvsy were mentioned, But these were many Ukrainian ones, the civil administration of which did not fully last even from the military, who had a unique organization, so it is not surprising that the ranks appeared there after the division of the country into governorates, continuing to exist along with the latter ones. In other places in Russia, they disappeared, most likely, simultaneously with the appearance of governorates. It is even darker that the central institution for managing the affairs of the ranks - the rank order - is destroyed after the appearance of the Senate, in which there was a rank institution for this kind of business for centuries 5); in 1721, the position of herald master was established, who was entrusted with all the former lists of nobles and the former senate and remaining in the same rank 5); finally, by the next decree of the herald - 1 P.S. 3.1. 2218.— Other grades for the 'were handed over to Master Pleshcheev. After this, the most so-called “classified for” little by little disappears, the regional ranks also disappear, and large government districts are all over the one and only governorates. They continue to exist throughout the time we are considering, they are left and we establish provinces, which only gives the division of the country a correct symmetrical appearance, taking it for founded! of this division is not distance, but the population, since the driving principle of the previous administration - the beginning of government profits, by this time had finally given way to the principle of people's well-being, which the government strives to achieve through 'adiini=strategic guardianship' (kiePe adshiizigayue). But it would not be easy to at once forever divide the country into permanent and non-permanent administrative regions. That is why we see that throughout the time we are considering, the administrative compass does not stop working, and the governors are constantly changing, either in number, or in name and volume. New governorates are joined to the former governors, the former ones are replaced by others, parts of the old governors are torn away, forming part of other governorates or forming new ones. In our eyes, this constant change in administrative districts is of no small importance. We listened to these changes of our first 8 governors from their appearance on December 18th. 1708 and according to the publication of the establishment of governors on November 7, 1715, we will understand. completely = NV artificial is more important than our regional units, from which local unions could not be developed, the members of which are closely connected by the consciousness of solidary local interest. The first 8 governors in 1713 were joined by the Riga governorate, formed from the newly conquered Livonia, with the lips annexed to it. Smolensk *). About Nizhny Novgorod province, P.S.
