Губернаторы и города Сибири: к оценке конфликтности взаимодействия (1870–1917)

Abstract

In article an attempt to give an assessment to interaction of governors and bodies of city self-government in Siberia in 1870-1917, to disclose nature of the conflicts at the local level and methods of their permission is made. Activities of Presence for city affairs as provincial supervision bodies are researched. A key task of provincial administrations - supervision of respecting the rule of law by city managements and consideration of claims of the population to their actions. Different types of the conflicts between chiefs of provinces and the cities on questions are analyzed: elections, financing of police, distribution of local authorities, etc. It is established that in the certain cities the administrative pressure as a conflict resolution method was applied. Two periods of strengthening of supervision of the cities are allocated: 1893-1896 (at local elections) and 1905-1908 (on revolutionary events). Governors and the city authorities sometimes hardly found opportunities for coordination of the measures. In desperate situations both parties had the right to appeal directly in the highest judicial and administrative authority of the country - the Ruling Senate. Because of congestion uncountable claims of both the state and public institutes, and individuals, cases in the Senate were considered several years. It is necessary to recognize this method of the conflict resolution ineffective. Governors had to reckon with local government, to agree, look for a compromise. The facts of administrative arbitrary behavior from "owners of the region" aren't elicited. The periods of confrontation were replaced by a constructive cooperation. In the conditions of war the level of a conflictness was at a low level. In general, the clear government policy on "embedding" of the cities in system of public administration was traced.
