ГЕНЕРАЛ-ГУБЕРНАТОР С. И. МИНИЦКИЙ И КАДРОВЫЙ ВОПРОС В ОЛОНЕЦКОЙ ГУБЕРНИИ
GOVERNOR GENERAL S. I. MINITSKY AND CIVIL PERSONNEL ISSUES IN OLONETS PROVINCE

Summary/Abstract: The article examines certain measures implemented by the Russian tsar Nicholas I at the beginning of his reign and some preconditions for these measures. The purpose of the undertaken measures was to attract civil servants to Olonets Province. The author focuses on the underlying mechanisms of the undertaken measures and ways of their implementation, as well as on the role played by S. I. Minitsky, the Governor General of Olonets, Vologda and Arkhangelsk Provinces. The conducted study revealed that under S. I. Minitsky’s governorate the administration of Olonets Province submitted a petition to the Imperial Government requesting a remote province status to be granted to the Olonets Province. Joint support of this initiative by Governor General Minitsky and Senator Baranov ensured its success – in 1828 civil servants and clerks, assigned to various positions in the Olonets Province, were granted the same benefits and privileges as civil service employees in Siberia and Caucasus. However, implemented measures did not produce any immediate results, and in 1832 Russian government had to prolong them.
