At the beginning of the reign of Peter the Great, recruitment was carried out by senders from the local compositor order. To do this, each province was divided into a certain number of stations, and special typesetters were appointed to each station: such stations, for example, in the Moscow province there were 15, and there were 24 typesetters
5. But already in 1707 it was prescribed that voivodes should conscript recruits °), and in 1710 the recruitment was entrusted—in the governorates to the governors, and in Moscow—to the Military Prikaz °). The governors had to conscript recruits by the appointed deadline; otherwise, punishment awaited them as traitors and betrayers of the fatherland “). Strictly speaking, the recruits were conscripted by the voivodes, and the governors supervised them: a decree of 1711 °), confirmed in 1713 8), prescribed the governors to inspect the conscripted recruits themselves, certifying the nominal lists with their own hands, "since among the current recruits sent here there are quite a few who are so bad that they are unfit even to be peasants, let alone soldiers." However, in 1711, the affairs of recruit conscription were again transferred to recruiters sent from the Pomestny Prikaz 7), but very soon, in 1712, the affairs of recruitment again passed from the prikaz to the Moscow governorate chancellery °), where they were managed by Vice-Governor Yershov °). In other governorates, although recruiters continued to gather recruits, the governors were not excluded from participating in the recruitment: a decree of 1716 prescribed them to take into the garrisons no less than ' and no more than ' of the conscripted recruits, replacing the taken portion of recruits with garrison soldiers, "and to do this during all levies, so that not all new men, but a portion of already accustomed men would be brought to the field regiments. '0)." The gathering of recruits according to these rules was carried out in the most disorderly manner: in 1719, the Military Collegium observed that when recruits are gathered in the governorates, they are first led from their homes in shackles, and then, when they are brought to the city, they are kept in great crowding—in prisons and ostrogs, and having exhausted them in this way on the spot, they send them on their way, but here their hardships increased even more: they were starved, led in huge crowds along wretched roads in inclement weather, and because of this it happened that recruits fled from the road, joining robber bands; not infrequently, maimed and unfit for service recruits were also conscripted—as happened, for example, in 1719, when there turned out to be more than 700 such men. Therefore, it was ordered to send reliable field, company, and non-commissioned officers to the governorates to receive and bring the conscripted recruits, who received the recruits from the governors and voivodes themselves.
3. As in the collection of taxes and palogs, and in the recruitment of recruits, there was always a shortage: from 1111-1724 recruits were collected 19,855 people. The Senate demanded from the governors for domosti, but not a single province, except Kazan, sent domosti. To combat these abuses, the decree of 1725 ordered governors and voivodes to continue, under the supervision of the headquarters officers, to collect uncollected recruits into new ommissars, under the supervision of colonels and officers *), But in 131, the sebor was again imposed on the governors and voivodes, and the ohippers sent to prem and bring recruits were to force them to successful collection production °). Therefore, the recruitment of 1730 was carried out by governors and voivodes, who were obliged to recruit recruits and give them to the officers sent from the regiments, under threat of 10 rubles. fine for each recruit not recruited ‘). But already the recruitment of 1732 was determined to be carried out at 0.9 points N.W. M. 8605. ) P.S.
