The collection of printed publications of the State Public Institution of the State Cultural Institution contains the published results of population censuses of various provinces for 1899-1916. These publications contain only statistical information and therefore cannot be used to search for relatives and ancestors.
Census sheets from these population censuses were not received for permanent storage by the State Civil Institution of the State Inspectorate for Civil Integration, so the archive is not able to provide any information about individual citizens living in a particular province.
Administrative unit of the Russian Empire and the USSR in 1781-1923. It was located on both slopes of the Ural Mountains. The administrative center of the province was the city of Perm.
The Perm province bordered in the north with, in the east with, in the south with and, in the west with the provinces.
History of the formation of the Perm province
On November 20 (December 1), 1780, Empress Catherine II signed a decree on the creation of the Perm governorship consisting of two regions - Perm and Yekaterinburg, and the establishment of the provincial city of Perm.
Initially, the Perm governorship included 16 counties: Perm, Ekaterinburg, Cherdynsky, Solikamsky, Okhansky, Osinsky, Kungursky, Krasnoufimsky, Verkhotursky, Kamyshlovsky, Irbitsky, Shadrinsky, Chelyabinsky, Obvinsky, Dalmatovsky and Alapaevsky. In 1783, Chelyabinsk district became part of the Orenburg province.
In accordance with the decree of Emperor Paul I of December 12, 1796 “On the new division of the state into provinces,” the Perm and Tobolsk governor-general was divided into Tobolsk and Perm provinces. At the same time, the number of counties was reduced: Obvinsk, Alapaevsk and Dalmatov lost their status as county towns.
In 1919, the Ekaterinburg province was separated from the Perm province, consisting of 6 counties located in its eastern part, beyond the Urals. In 1922, the Sarapul district of the Vyatka province was included in its composition.
In 1923, the Perm province was abolished, and its territory was included in the Ural region with its center in Yekaterinburg.
It was divided into 12 districts, which included 106 districts of zemstvo chiefs. 41 camps, 484 volosts, 3,180 rural communities, 12,760 villages, 430,000 peasant households.
In the western (European) part of the Perm province there were 7 counties:
| Name | County town | Area (km 2) | Population (1896-1897) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Perm district | Permian | 27 270,9 | 240 428 |
| Krasnoufimsky district | Krasnoufimsk | 24 485 | 244 310 |

LISTS OF SETTLED PLACES IN THE PERM PROVINCE IN THE SECOND HALF OF THE 19th – BEGINNING OF THE 20TH CENTURIES. AS A HISTORICAL SOURCE
The settlement and development of the Middle Urals began during the time of the great migration of peoples (IV – 9th centuries). At this time, the indigenous population of the Urals was formed, which included Finno-Ugric (Komi-Permyaks, Udmurts, Mari, Mansi) and Turkic (Bashkirs and Tatars) peoples. The settlement areas of these peoples are also naturally determined. The Komi-Permyak people lived in the Upper Kama region, the Udmurts lived in the upper reaches of the Vyatka, and the basins of the Tavda, Tura, Pyshma rivers, and the upper reaches of the Chusovaya were the territory of the Mansi, or Voguls. This was how the foundation of the settlement system in the Middle Urals was laid. But the number of indigenous peoples was small, the territories of the Middle Urals remained undeveloped. These lands in the 13th century. begin to attract the attention of the Novgorod boyars, Vladimir-Suzdal princes, as well as ordinary peasants. In the XIV–XV centuries. Russians begin to populate the Upper Kama region. In 1451, Moscow Prince Vasily II sent his first governor, Mikhail Ermolich, to Cherdyn, and in 1472 the territory of Perm the Great (Upper Kama region) became part of the Russian state.
From the end of the 16th century. a new period of development of the Middle Urals begins: he receives a grant allowing him to cook salt, search for and mine ore, and build towns and settlements. From the end of the 16th century. The number of Russian settlers who developed new lands increased significantly. And in the 18th century. The Middle Urals, thanks to the existing deposits of iron and copper ores, water resources and forest reserves, are becoming the largest metallurgical region in Russia.
At the end of the 18th century. The administrative-territorial division of the Perm province was finally formalized, which lasted until 1918. First, the Perm governorate was formed in 1797, and then it was transformed into the Perm province. At the same time, eight new districts appeared: Perm, Okhansky, Osinsky, Krasnoufimsky, Yekaterinburg, Irbitsky, Kamyshlovsky and Shchadrinsky, four districts had already been created by that time.
Mid-19th century marked by significant changes in the socio-economic and political development of the country in general and the Middle Urals in particular. Industry and transport are actively developing. New local government bodies were created - zemstvos, which were engaged in the construction of roads, schools, and hospitals. All these changes were directly reflected in the system of rural settlement - a territorially integral and functionally interconnected set of settlements.
The article analyzes one of the main and most informative sources on rural settlement - Lists of populated places. It reflects not only the administrative-territorial division of the province, district, volost, geographical location of settlements, but also the socio-economic and cultural ties that have developed in rural areas. Lists of populated places make it possible to reveal the peculiarities of the formation of a settlement network in the Ural region. The creation of the Lists was caused by historical necessity. The emergence and development of new governing bodies in the Russian Empire in the second half of the 19th century, the economic and social development of the country required accurate and reliable information from statistical bodies about the composition, size of the population, and its distribution over the vast territory of the country.
Lists of populated places have enormous information potential, but they have been used only sporadically in historical research. Most likely, this was due to the fact that the Lists contain massive data, and their processing requires the use of methods based on the principles of quantitative analysis. The real possibility of involving the entire volume of information contained in the Lists into scientific circulation appears only at the end of the 20th century. along with the spread of computer technology.
This source was first mentioned back in 1947 in the works of geographers. They were the first to study settlement issues. Somewhat later, in 1959, he wrote an article in which he characterizes the provincial Lists of populated places from a source study point of view. To this day, it remains perhaps the only scientific publication devoted to this topic. In the early 60s. XX century , studying zemstvo household censuses, again turns to Lists of populated places as one of the types of zemstvo population statistics, using them illustratively. In the early 90s. XX century materials from the Lists were used to study the ethnocultural development of the Urals. Thus, although the Lists of populated places have not been ignored by researchers, their source analysis remains an unsolved problem, as does a comprehensive study of all the information contained in the source.
The idea of creating Lists of populated places was first expressed back in the 20s. XIX century In 1823–1825 A study of Russian cities was undertaken. Based on the information collected, in 1830 the “Statistical Image of Cities and Towns of the Russian Empire to 1825” was published. This publication served as a model for subsequent publications of a similar type: “Review of the state of the cities of the Russian Empire in 1833” (St. Petersburg, 1834); “Statistical tables on the state of the cities of the Russian Empire, the Grand Duchy of Finland and the Kingdom of Poland” (St. Petersburg, 1840); “Statistical tables on the state of cities of the Russian Empire according to information collected up to May 1, 1847.” (SPb., 1852). At the same time, the issue of creating Lists of rural populated areas began to be discussed. It was initiated by two prominent statisticians of Russia in the 19th century. - And.
Back in the 20s of the XIX century. drew the government's attention to the importance of compiling Lists of "inhabited" places in Russia, but his proposals remained unanswered. In 1837, while serving in the Ministry of State Property, he received the task of conducting an audit of the land of the Tauride province, during which he personally compiled a List of populated places in the Simferopol district of the Tauride province. In his list, Köppen drew attention not only to socio-economic aspects, but also to questions of the origin of the names of individual villages. The document was not published and is currently stored in the academician's collection. In addition to the List, he compiled a list of villages in the Tauride province. In 1844, he began compiling an ethnographic atlas, on which all the populated places in which the non-Russian population lived were marked in different colors.
In the mid-50s. XIX century makes a new attempt to develop Lists of populated places through the Academy of Sciences and the Synod. A parish list of villages form was sent to all dioceses. During 1857–1859 parish lists from 33 provinces were presented, and already in 1858 the book “Cities and Villages of the Tula Province in 1857” was published. Information on the remaining provinces was not processed and published, although it was used in the work of the Academy of Sciences and statistical bodies.
Another researcher who became involved in this work was a prominent Russian geographer and statistician. In 1828, he decided to write a textbook “Statistics of the Russian Empire”, and therefore developed a detailed program for describing Russia. One of the questions of this program was the question of the number of suburbs, settlements, towns, towns, villages, hamlets and other populated areas in the provinces of Russia. In order to implement the program, I contacted the statistical department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, but they decided that this information was not necessary.
In 1834, the statistical part of the Ministry of Internal Affairs was transformed into the Statistical Department, and he was appointed its head. Now he could realize his idea, in addition, an official pretext appeared - a dispute between the War Ministry and the Ministry of Internal Affairs regarding the procedure for recording distances between individual settlements. On February 19, 1836, a circular order was sent to all governors signed by the Minister of Internal Affairs and the head of the Statistical Department, which stated the need to compile “an alphabetical list of all villages, hamlets, hamlets, towns and settlements, in a word, all those inhabited by special names.” places, except for cities, with the meaning in them of the number of courtyards, the number of churches and, if possible, the number of available male and female souls...”
During 1836–1838, the Statistical Department received information from 39 provinces of Russia. In 1840, a second circular was issued for those provinces that had not yet sent lists, but it did not have significant consequences: only one province, following the circular, prepared and submitted a list of settlements to the ministry. Unable to publish these materials, he transferred them to the Geographical Society. So, in the first half of the 19th century. Prominent Russian scientists tried to bring to life the idea of creating Lists of populated places, but they were unable to prove to officials of the Ministry of Internal Affairs the relevance and importance of this work.
At the same time, interest on the part of official bodies in the settlement network was evident already in the 30s. XIX century Various departments independently collect information about populated areas for their own needs. In the 40s XIX century Cadastral units of the Ministry of State Property are carrying out work to assess the farms of peasants. Information was collected directly from peasants, partly throughout the entire village, partly for each yard. When characterizing the village, its topographic description was given, and the amount of land by land was reported. When describing the estate, the type of settlement, type of buildings, and heating were indicated. Along with information about the settlement, detailed information was collected about the population of each household, about trades, the number of livestock, and the amount of taxes. The collected information was published in “Economic and statistical materials collected by commissions and detachments for the equalization of monetary fees from the state.” peasants" and in six issues of "Materials for Russian statistics collected by the department of the Ministry of State Property." The information was incomplete: it covered only part of the territory of Russia and only one of the categories of the peasant population, but nevertheless, these materials were one of the steps in the history of creating Lists of populated places.
In the 60s XIX century there is an urgent need for statistical data on the settlement network and, most importantly, an opportunity arises for collecting information and publishing Lists of populated places. The change in the situation was closely related to liberal reforms. For the work of newly created bodies (according to judicial charters, according to the regulations on zemstvo self-government bodies), as well as for the management of liberated peasants, and the implementation of military reform, information was required that had not previously been collected. At this time, new opportunities are emerging for collecting the necessary data. First of all, in 1863, the Central Statistical Committee (hereinafter referred to as CSK) was formed under the Ministry of Internal Affairs. On January 1, 1864, Tyan-Shansky became its director and invited prominent Russian scientists to work at the CSK, which made it possible to begin collecting and processing information on a scientific basis using specially developed programs. In addition, zemstvo bodies were created locally, one of the functions of which was the collection of statistical data and their submission to the central government bodies. As a result, a fundamentally new structure of statistical bodies is being formed both in the center and locally.
Since its creation, the CSK has contributed to the acceleration of work on the preparation of Lists of populated places. Back in 1854, a program for collecting information for these lists was sent out to the provinces, but the data arrived extremely slowly. With the formation of the CSK, already in 1860, the necessary materials began to arrive from the provinces, and in 1861, the publication of Lists of populated places began. In the period from 1861 to 1885, 43 issues were published, each of which was dedicated to a separate province. Information on the Perm province was received by the Central Statistical Committee in 1869 and was published in 1875 in the 31st volume of Lists.
Lists of populated places in the Perm province, published in 1875, were the result of the implementation of a nationwide project. Information about settlements was collected in accordance with a unified program, which included the following points: 1. The name of the settlement with explanations: what kind of place it is, urban or rural, what department. 2. Topographical designation of its position, under what water or living tract. 3. The distance of cities from the capital and provincial and villages from the district city and camp. 4. In cities the number of households was indicated, in villages - also the number of households. 5. Available number of residents of both sexes. 6. The number of houses of worship, charitable and educational institutions, fairs, bazaars and wharves, postal stations, as well as large factories and factories and other remarkable establishments in the places where they exist.
A procedure for collecting information was also developed. In rural areas, the collection of information was entrusted to police officers, in cities - to provincial statistical committees, and all lists from police officers were concentrated here. For verification, materials from the tenth revision were used, as well as information collected by officers of the General Staff. The shortcomings of the collection system appeared from the very beginning: most zemstvo courts did not have the information required for compiling lists; alphabetical lists of villages were compiled back in the 40s. To obtain more accurate information, the CSK sent a request to provide the necessary data to the newly created zemstvo self-government bodies. Thus, in the materials of the Krasnoufimsk district zemstvo government, statements compiled by volost boards on the composition of rural societies on August 1, 1869 were preserved. They included the name of the volost, the name of the society, which settlements were included in the society, such as factories, villages, hamlets and settlements ( in the same column the category of peasants and nationality are indicated), the number of souls in each village, the number of households in each village, the amount of land. By 1870, this information was processed and published in printed form. They were also transferred to the CSK, but by this time the publication had already been prepared, and the publishers did not change anything, they only processed the newly received information, which, as it turned out, had some differences from the police Lists. In particular, in the Zemstvo List, populated areas were located by volosts, which greatly facilitated their use. But there were also more significant differences - these were discrepancies in the names of settlements, as well as the presence of some settlements in some Lists and their absence in others. The publishers made a comparison and published the results as an Supplement to the already prepared Lists. All discrepancies were divided into 4 categories: 1) villages that are on the List and are not reflected in the materials of the volost boards; 2) villages that are included in the materials of the volost boards, but are not reflected in the List; 3) villages listed in the List under one name, and in the materials of volost administrations - under another; 4) discrepancies in the names of villages.
Now let us turn to the content of the Lists, which primarily depended on the purposes of the publication. The lists of 1875 were published in the form of a reference book, so special attention was paid to such information as the exact name and spelling of the names of settlements, this was checked against the parish lists stored in the materials of the Imperial Academy of Sciences. If there was a big difference in spelling, then both names were indicated. The accuracy of the figures given did not matter to the publishers. For example, the explanations to the column “Number of residents” say that the figures given in the table were given by local authorities and should not be taken as official, but only as approximate. The main purpose of this column is to show the significance of a particular settlement for determining population density.
Data for the Perm province were processed by N. Stieglitz, a member of the Statistical Council. The volume itself is divided into two parts. One part is general information about the Perm province:
1) geographical location and space of the province;
2) topographical description of the province;
3) geological overview of the province, mineral wealth;
4) hydrographic outline (river system);
5) climate of the Perm province;
6) historical essay;
7) statistical overview of the population and its distribution throughout the province;
8) statistical and ethnographic essay;
9) statistical survey of the population in religious, mental, moral and civil relations;
10) economic condition of the province;
11) factory industry;
12) trade;
13) list of volosts for conscription areas for military service;
14) comparison of this list with the volost list of 1873, the difference between them.
The second part is the lists themselves, presented in the form of tables. All material was divided into two tables: the first - for the cities of the province, the second - for rural settlements.
The table had seven columns. Column 1 is the numbering of settlements; it was continuous for both tables. Column 2 is the name of the populated place, the official one and the one that is used in common parlance. It also indicated its significance in the administrative division for cities (provincial city, district, non-district) and the topographical name for all settlements (city, village, village, etc.). Settlements were distributed primarily by country, within this group - by geographic location (for example, in the Perm district in the first camp, settlements No. 16–28 were located on the Moscow postal route from Perm to Okhansk) and within directly by distance from the county town, without any system. The names of volosts and rural societies are missing. Column 3 - position at a water source. Column 4 - distance in miles from the district town and from the camp apartment. Column 5 - number of households. Column 6 - number of inhabitants; Column 7 - the number of churches and other places of worship of all faiths, the number of educational and charitable institutions, postal stations, fairs, bazaars, marinas, the most important factories and factories.
This arrangement of settlements within the tables complicated the use of the Lists, but this was the first experience in publishing such reference books.
The publication of Lists of populated places of the Russian Empire was the most extensive and complete at that time. Although even then, Tyan-Shansky noted that small and tiny settlements were excluded from the Lists, and believed that this was primarily due to the fact that there is no clear definition of what is a “settlement,” each observer defines this in his own way. In this regard, the Lists may not have taken into account owner's estates and farmsteads. In addition, inaccuracies could also be caused by the fact that the police did not have an established administrative accounting system; there was no information about changes in the number of settlements, names and designations of settlements (village, village, hamlet). Information was collected by country, and not by administrative-territorial units, which significantly complicated the accounting of settlements included in the volost and district. Difficulties could also arise because settlements were listed by geographic location. For example, any village located on the highway was taken into account, and a farm located at a distance from the highway could be released from the Lists.
Despite the above shortcomings, the 1875 Lists represent the first and fairly successful attempt to publish such reference books and are extremely interesting for researchers studying the settlement system in the 19th century.
The all-Russian publication of Lists of populated places in pre-revolutionary Russia was the only one; further this work was carried out by local zemstvo bodies. In the daily work of the zemstvo, accurate information was constantly required not only about the population, but also about the number of settlements and their location. As a result of the work of various departments of zemstvos at the end of the 19th - beginning of the 20th centuries. Several editions of Lists of populated places were published. They differed from each other primarily in the structure of information and content. Zemstvo Lists were created as a reference manual necessary for work. Therefore, they contained accurate information and were systematically updated. The Zemstvo Lists were updated approximately once every ten years. This gap was determined both by the rate of aging of information and by the available experience. Gradually, zemstvo statisticians acquired the necessary skills in collecting and processing information about the settlement network, which was reflected in the content of the Lists and the form of their presentation.
Zemstvo statisticians gained primary experience in collecting and processing statistical data back in the 60s. XIX century But then they acted in accordance with the instructions of the center. Gradually, zemstvo bodies become an integral part of the management system, dealing with issues of public education, health care, road construction, taxation, etc., that is, practical tasks. The zemstvo was also in charge of resolving issues of administrative-territorial division at the provincial level. To perform these functions, accurate and reliable information was required for each locality.
And in the mid-80s. XIX century The zemstvo begins systematic data collection.
The following procedure for submitting information was determined: the provincial zemstvo sent the information to the district zemstvo councils, which “in pursuance of the relationship” sent requests to the volost boards. Here a response to the request was drawn up, which, after being signed by the volost foreman and clerk, was sent back. The district statisticians processed the information received and sent it to the provincial zemstvo, where it was compiled into provincial lists. Previously, the information was cross-checked using materials from zemstvo administrations.
Taking into account the procedure for the movement of information, all documents used to compile these lists can be divided into two groups: 1) primary sources, i.e. materials that were collected directly for compiling the lists; 2) documents against which the reliability and accuracy of primary sources were verified.
In 1885, circulars were sent to all volost governments through the county governments. Thus, in the circular of the Verkhoturye government it was said: “In pursuance of the attitude of the provincial government dated April 26, No. 443, the Verkhoturye government asks the volost government to deliver in a short time information about all the villages in the volost and the inhabitants in them in the following form...”. The form was attached and contained the following items: the name of the volost, the villages in it (the villages are listed), the number of households in each village, the number of inhabitants (Russians, Mohammedans, other foreigners). All this data was combined into a summary table, which is contained in the case. The table had the same form as the query and was handwritten. The table was not published and was preserved in the archives. The appearance of the document indicates its systematic use (the text contains various marks, underlining, etc.), as well as the desire of the document’s authors to have accurate information at hand. All changes in the administrative-territorial division were necessarily included in the table.
Additional sources when compiling lists could include materials such as correspondence with the Perm provincial zemstvo, the Yekaterinburg district office for peasant affairs on issues of division of volosts and rural societies. All changes in the administrative-territorial division within the province were recorded in district and provincial documents; issues of the transfer of volosts and rural societies to the jurisdiction of another province were resolved in the capital.
Additional information could also be obtained from Information from the volost boards on the sowing of grain, Statements on the grain harvest received from the volost boards. In addition to statistical data, the collections of the Perm zemstvo reflected information on geography, climate, and culture of the population (for example, “Geographical and statistical description of the volosts of the Yekaterinburg district”, “Information about the life of the Tatars of the Yenapaevsky volost of the Krasnoufimsky district”).
The reliability of the information contained in the Lists of 1885 is determined primarily by the fact that the information came from the volost boards, which had accurate information about all, even the smallest, settlements. All statements submitted to the district government were officially certified by the volost elders.
The 1885 Lists do not contain extensive information, but this source is one of the first in a series of Lists of populated places that were created by local statisticians according to a program developed locally.
In 1898, the Perm Zemstvo published a new directory, available not only to zemstvo workers, but also to everyone. Just like 10 years ago, the zemstvo sent requests to the district governments, i.e. the data collection system has not changed. This is reflected in the zemstvo funds, where primary sources have been preserved (for example, “Statistical information from volost boards on the number of populated places in the Perm province”, “Correspondence on compiling a List of populated places in Solikamsk district”, “Statement on the number of villages located in the Arkhangelo-Pashinsky volost of Perm district” " etc.)
Another source for compiling the 1898 Lists could be materials from agricultural statistics, etc. But it should be noted that by the mid-1890s. sources appear reflecting new types of activities of zemstvo bodies. In particular, this is work on planning rural settlements and ensuring fire safety.
A whole block of documents on the planning of villages, villages, factories, i.e. their plans, has been preserved in the materials of the district governments. Each plan was accompanied by an explanatory note with information about how this plan was drawn up, by whom it was approved and when. In the mid-1890s. The zemstvo begins to carry out active work to ensure fire safety not only in cities, but also in rural settlements. For these purposes, information is requested from the volost administrations about the water supply of the population - about the availability of natural sources of water and about wells, ponds, etc. created by the population.
The list of 1898 is issued in the form of separate publications for each county. The material was presented in continuous text, each paragraph containing information about one locality. Settlements were listed by volost, volosts were arranged in alphabetical order. Information about the settlement reflected which rural society the settlement belonged to, type (village, hamlet, etc.), number of households, number of inhabitants, what category the population belonged to, what religion, nationality, what institutions are available, distance from the district cities, availability of layout. Sometimes information was given from the history of the locality, interesting incidents that happened in the village. At the end there was an alphabetical list of all populated places in the district and a list of the second names of those populated areas where they were located. There were no explanatory articles.
The lists of 1898 differ from the Lists of 1885 in a larger volume of information, which was associated with the growing needs of zemstvo bodies. The form of information in the source, in our opinion, is not very convenient to use, but this does not make its value less. The lists have not been completely preserved, which was most likely due to the small circulation of the publication (it was not possible to establish the exact circulation).
The new edition of the Lists of Populated Places of the Perm Province dates back to 1904. It differed from all previously published reference books in that they were prepared and published by one of the zemstvo departments - the department of agricultural statistics. This naturally affected the content of the Lists. In addition, the Lists of 1904 were more convenient to use, since the information was presented in the form of a table. The general procedure for collecting and processing data has not changed. Primary materials arrived at the provincial zemstvo by January 1, 1904.
The publication included an Explanatory Note, which reflected the purposes of publishing the Lists (the lack of modern data on settlements in the works of local statistical institutions), the sources for preparing the publication, and which department processed these materials. It is stipulated that the directory did not include the Sosvinsky factories of the Verkhoturye district, the Vizhaysky factories of the Cherdyn district and the Teplogorsk factories of the Perm district, since they did not have a registered population and were not part of the volosts. It is not surprising that the department of agricultural statistics was interested primarily in the rural population, and secondarily in the completeness of the lists of populated areas.
On pages 6–8 there are changes that have occurred in the administrative-territorial division. This data is available for each county (for example, the village of Sarapulka of the Yuzhakovsky rural society of the Bashkar volost was separated into an independent rural society - Sarapulskoye).
Starting from page 9 there is a table that contains 13 columns. In the first column, the name of the volost is first indicated in alphabetical order, then the name of the rural communities that are part of the volost. The name of the village is followed by the name of the locality. Both rural societies and localities are listed in no particular order. Settlements have continuous numbering within each volost. The name of the locality is indicated in the same column.
Next follow several columns, united by one common name (“Number of households”) and containing the following information: total households in the locality, households of peasants assigned to the society, households of commoners assigned to the society, from among those assigned to the society engaged in agriculture and not engaged agriculture.
The next 6 columns are united by the general title “Number of population of both sexes” and contain data on the population assigned to rural society and not assigned to it. Each of these columns, in turn, is divided into three columns: “men”, “women” and “total”. The last column indicates the nationality, the category of peasants.
The final part of the publication presents the results of processing data placed in tables. In particular, for each county and province, summary indicators were calculated for all of the above characteristics. In addition, a separate table is highlighted, which shows the number of rural societies, settlements, the number of the population as a whole and by nationality in each volost and in general for counties and provinces, as well as the division of volosts into zemstvo and judicial investigation areas. This table includes 36 columns. Then there is a table showing the composition of new volosts formed in 1904 and not included in the district lists, and alphabetical indexes of volosts, rural communities and settlements of the Perm province.
The Lists of 1904 compared to the Lists of 1875 and 1898 were more informative and easier to use. They allow you to obtain information not only about the location of the settlement, but about the number of residents, the number of people engaged in agriculture, nationality and category.
Lists of populated places published in 1908–1909 are the most complete and informative for characterizing the settlement network of the early 20th century. This publication, like the previous one, was prepared by one of the departments of the Perm zemstvo - the planning department. But the authors managed to create a universal reference book that could be used by other departments of the zemstvo, as well as by everyone. The lists contained accurate data even for the smallest settlements, including information about the population, location of the settlement, its infrastructure (presence of a school, hospital, church, etc.). All information was placed in an easy-to-view table.
The procedure for collecting and processing information has not changed. The form developed by the planning department was sent in printed form to the county governments and then to the volost governments. Information was collected during 1905–1906. and were preserved in the archival funds of zemstvo administrations. Further, as the received data was processed, separate publications were published for each county. During 1908–1909 Directories for all 12 counties were published, and in 1909 a general publication for the Perm province was published, although it only combined all previously published books. Before each table, both in separate brochures and in the general reference book, an article was printed that contained information about the geographical conditions of the county, about the total amount of land and their division into categories, about the grain crops that grow in the county, and about the volume of sowing, about the total population size, industries, industrial enterprises. A large block of information was devoted to the administrative-territorial division of the county and the work of the zemstvo government. A separate part of the article was devoted to the history and geography of the district town.
The main table, which contained records about settlements, included 21 columns. Inside the table, the information was systematized by volosts, listed in alphabetical order. The structure of the record included the following information: the first column indicated the name, type of settlement (village, factory village, etc.), as well as the presence of religious institutions (churches, mosques, chapels, etc.), local government bodies (volost government , village government, etc.), educational institutions, medical institutions (hospitals, veterinary and paramedic stations), trading places and establishments (fair, market, bazaar, consumer and credit societies), communication points (zemstvo station, telephone, station railway), the presence of industries. The source of water and the internal structure of the settlement (in particular, whether the settlement was planned or not) were also indicated here. The following columns contained information about the number of households in the village, the number of residents (men and women), the category of peasants before the reform of 1861, religion, nationality (nationality). A significant part of the table was devoted to information about the location of the settlement in relation to the nearest local church, mosque, school, library, county town, apartment of the zemstvo chief, apartment of the bailiff, volost government, nearest zemstvo station, nearest railway station, hospital, paramedic station , veterinary center, post office, telegraph or post office, the nearest fair. This volume of information gives the researcher a unique opportunity to conduct a systematic analysis of the settlement system, taking into account all economic, social, cultural and administrative connections formed at the local level.
In 1910, a set of data included in the Lists of populated places of the Perm province was published, which presented the results of statistical processing of the directory materials: the total number of populated places in the Perm province by county and in the province as a whole, groupings of villages by the number of households, etc. .
In order to fully use the full information potential of the Lists of populated places, computer processing of the data presented in the directory is necessary. For this purpose, based on the Access 2000 software package, the database “Rural settlements of the Perm province in the post-reform period” was created. It allows: 1) to characterize the structure of rural settlement in the Perm province; 2) based on primary information about settlements, characterize the socio-economic development of the Perm province.
Lists of populated places prepared by zemstvo bodies represent a unique and extremely valuable source of information that allows us to trace the main stages of the formation of the settlement system in the Perm province in the late 19th - early 20th centuries, and to identify the features of this process in the Middle Urals. In addition, this source makes it possible to obtain additional information on the socio-economic and cultural development of the Perm province.
