At the same time, the peasants were partly defeated by the old powers. people on the new ones, but mostly went to the Novorossiysk region and Zaporozhye. :?*) In such cases, the powers asked their subjects to be searched by the collegium, and the collegium, in turn, ordered the regimental chancelleries, according to written decrees, to return their lost ones. For the most part, giving orders, they did not achieve the goal; So the Gadyatsky regimental office wrote to the board in 1778: “many regiments of the Gadyatsky Cossack, Pospolitek and subordinate people, the Cossacks - on tickets from hundreds of boards, and the Pospolatsky on vacations from their owners and clerks of old, retire to earn money in until the villages and in the other places, the money for the terms and after the expiration of their terms, they remain irrevocably on the land, as it is often reported to the regimental office about the implementation of amendments about them > Thus, on the decree of December 10, neither the general inventory stopped the peasants’ transitions, as we see, the peasants; dust - a complete opportunity to leave with tickets and without tickets, beyond the borders of Little Russia; in and in Little Russia it was not difficult to leave the powers without permission, and it was even easier to find a new one 124) (m. note 117. you A U U about pbiiiiiii. _you" okA = RA shelter, not having any tickets established by the decree of December 10. The nasty Colonel Kryzhavovsky wrote to his colleague in 1769 that although it was forbidden for landowners to accept peasants without written leave from previous owners, in the back Little Russian mfsts they accepted landowners without certificates, without any fear of not only a fine but also a penalty in other estates; for the benefit of the peasants and for the elderly, quite a lot of money is exacted and the fines that have been paid by the peasants are taken away from them; they populate, for their own benefit, great, new and unprecedented settlements. Therefore, the entire burden of the penalty is forced to be borne by the subjects and the sub-national government, and not how to endure the punishment for 10, that they from the escape, remained on their mfsts.”
225) It can be said positively that the government’s actions against the peasants’ transition to Maloros (and) caused completely opposite results: the peasants at that time, as if anticipating the imminent loss of their freedom and wishing to use it for the time being, represented a wandering mass and in the same way called the administration to do some kind of rfful.
Already in his pofzdka on Malorosesh, in 1765, Rumyantsev about the stripped peasants, sdflal concluded the following:
“common people, imaginary in their freedom125) See Primvchane 117. - 121 freedom, brought to extreme neglect of their own, to laziness and debauchery; for many, leaving their arable and decaying lands, wander from one place to another, and in order to conveniently lead an idle and dissolute life, they remain forever without soil, under the name of subsoil, working fluff for food and drinking wine. —— It is necessary to discuss how to correct our vices, which are harmful to the public good, to oblige it with moral provisions on the part of the owners and themselves, which are mutually beneficial; by what means. to protect the children abroad and protect the so-called sub-social children, and especially among the common people.”
*?5) Rumyantsev’s regulations on this subject were expressed by constant monitoring of the execution of the decree of December 10, 1763 *°*) and the general inventory, with which he thought, having ordered the estates, to give a means to each of them to legally use their rights and not to complicate the administration in collecting taxes. But these regulations turned out to be powerless and there was an urgent need for new government regulations to limit peasant movements.
Under such circumstances, a decree was issued on May 3, 1783, **°) in which, by the way, it was E conceals SEARCH 126) See note 119.
127) Monitoring the implementation of this decree was expressed by the feasible assistance of her colleague, in which she did not refuse the powers to look after the peasants who had left them. See note. 147.
The title of the decree is:
It is said about the taxes of merchants, peasants and other inhabitants of the provinces: Shchevsk, Chernihiv, Novgorod-Ezverskaya, Kharkov, Mogilev, Polotsk, Riga, Revel and Vyborg:
“for the easy and free receipt of government revenues in the municipalities: Kevsky, Chernigovsky in Novgorodek-SFversky, in aversion to any kind of property that burdens the pomfs and the remaining villagers of the inhabitants, each of the villagers will remain in his mfotb and rank, “EDV op according to the present day The last revision was written, the kromf of those who excommunicated” to the state of this decree of ours; In the case of the Pobfgov, this decree was issued to act in accordance with general state regulations. »
With this explanation of the decree on taxes, the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth peasants were deprived of the right to move and therefore had to completely submit to the pomfic powers, on whose lands their decree of May 3 was found.
Thus, the law of fasting was established in Little Russia. about sky; about collecting duties from dBl and from immovable properties sold by them! in the provinces of Little Russia and extended to these provinces: rights: to buy real estate. “Imbnya to the closest relatives, according to general state laws.”
