Забытая российская администрация – Правление Российских таможенных и торговых дел в Варшаве 1818–1822
Forgotten Russian Administration – Board of Russian Customs and Trade in Warsaw 1818–1822

Summary/Abstract: The final phase of the Napoleonic Wars was associated with rapid changes in CentralEurope. Apart from the border changes, the thorough reforms of state management carriedout in the Russian Empire were also valid. One of the important elements of thesechanges was the determination of the status of the Duchy of Warsaw in relation to theEmpire. The article presents a short, but turbulent and hesitant process of organizing thecustom administration on the western land border of the Russian Empire. The Board ofRussian Customs and Trade Affairs in Warsaw, practically unknown in Polish historiography,is a testimony to the first attempt to incorporate this territory into the Russiancustoms area, which finally took place in 1851.
