ABSTRACT. Publication of the General Map of the Vyatka province introduces a unique cartographic source on the history of Russian urban planning into scientific circulation. The peculiarity of the map is that, in addition to having a general map of the province and plans of its thirteen towns, there are drawn general views of the towns. Most of the views represent the first illustrative images of the towns of the Vyatka province. The general map was compiled by the provincial surveyor, collegiate assessor Evstafy Rodionov in 1806 The scientific value of his work lies in particular in the fact that the images of Vyatka towns on the General Map are imprinted at the time of their restructuring began at the end of the 18th century. At the same time, town plans show both the parts planned for development in the future and the districts built up in the 17th — first half of the 18th centuries. The map shows the views of the provincial, 9 uezd and 3 uezd-less (supernumerary) towns of the Vyatka province.

ABSTRACT. The article analyzes data on the location of labor settlements based on dislocation tables. The dislocation tables belong to the departmental reporting documentation of the NKVD of the USSR. The information reflects the situation for the second half of 1941, since data for the Arkhangelsk and Vologda regions are given as of November 1941, and for the Komi ASSR as of January 1, 1942 The requirements for the position of labor settlements and the features of their organization are considered. A calculation of the average distances from labor settlements to the railway track, the district commandant’s office and the regions’ administrative center is given. Analyzing the distances from labor settlements to transport routes, district and administrative centers allows assessing remoteness of settlements from railway transport and populated areas. The Komi ASSR, Arkhangelsk and Vologda regions in 1929–1936 were administratively united as part of the Northern Krai, so the organization in the early 1930s of settlements for special settlers – “former kulaks,” renamed in labor settlements in 1933, proceeded according to general plans, so it seems relevant to assess the situation for the three regions as a whole.

KEYWORDS: special settlements, labor settlements, special settlers — “former kulaks”, labor settlers, dislocation, North

ABSTRACT. The publication of the documents is dedicated to the 200th anniversary of Emperor Alexander I’s trip to the Urals in 1824 The Emperor’s interest in this region was not accidental. During the reign of Alexander I, a number of reforms were carried out, during which a system of mining law was created («Draft of Mining Regulations»), the system of state-owned mining districts was institutionalized, a class of indispensable workers was created, and intensive gold mining began. These measures prepared the conditions for the transformation of the Urals into a special region — the Ural Mining Oblast. The publication includes copies of documents from the correspondence of the Zlatoust and Ekaterinburg mining chiefs, deposited in the fund of the Department of Mining and Salt Affairs of the Ministry of Finance of the Russian State Historical Archive. The published materials are devoted to the preparation of the Orenburg province for the meeting of the emperor. The publication of the documents is preceded by an introductory article.

KEYWORDS: Alexander I, Urals, trip, mining industry, administration.

ABSTRACT. The publication introduces into scientific circulation the historical document compiled by Dmitry Ivanovich Kazantsev, an amateur selectionist who pioneered the fruit gardening in the Middle Urals. His name is memorized in the history of Ekaterinburg with a memorial object — the D. I. Kazantsev’s Fruit Garden which has existed for more than a century. The published report “My Work, Observations and Achievements for the Year 1936” is written with the author’s characteristic pedantry and gives an idea of the popular trends and practical methods of gardening in the early 1930s Sverdlovsk. The document allows judging on the author’s social circle and business connections. Together with other selectionists, D. I. Kazantsev took part in overcoming such a problem as scarcity of fruit varieties in the Urals. Samples from his garden were involved in the broad-scale works on hybridization started by the Sverdlovsk Zonal Fruit and Berry Experimental Station named after. I. V. Michurin since 1935. D.I. Kazantsev’s detailed report was compiled in connection with the organization of these studies, and therefore in many ways resembles a scientific text. It describes the history of raising the original apple-tree variety — Kordik, contains a lot of details about the phenology, productivity, stability and other characteristic features of old-time varieties and hybrids of apple-trees which are still of interest and allow comparing with current varieties. The published document may be of interest to specialists studying the period of collectivization and industrialization of Soviet society, the history of horticulture and fruit growing in the Urals, as well as to modern selectionists and gardening experimentalists.

KEYWORDS: Middle Urals, history of Ekaterinburg, amateur gardening, apple-tree selection, Dmitry Ivanovich Kazantsev.

ABSTRACT. Two geographical descriptions of the southern lands of the Russian state at the end of the 16th century preserved in the documents of the Belgorod Department of the Military Ministry (the Razryadny prikaz): “Description of field roads” (Rospis’ pol’skim dorogam) and “Description of the map of outlying cities…” (Rospis’ chertezhu ukrainnyh gorodov…). “Description of field roads” was published for the first time in 1886 by D. I. Bagalei. “Description of the map” remained little-known in the historical literature, in the 1990s G. Saatchan was the first to mention the existence of this document. In the preface to the publication, dating of the studied descriptions is proposed based on the analysis of the dates of the emergence of cities in the “Field”. “Description of field roads” was compiled between 1592 and 1594, “Description of the map” between 1596 and 1599 Analysis of the filigree sheets of the column showed that both descriptions were written on paper from the 1590s. One of the filigrees of the “Description of the map” coincides with the watermark of the 1598 Razriad book draft. This led to the conclusion that the “Description of the map” was compiled in the Razryadny prikaz in the 1590s. It can be assumed that the “Description of the map” was an intermediate document for compiling a new map. During the reign of Tsar Boris Godunov, work was carried out to compile a drawing of the Russian state, which formed the basis of the map of Russia published in 1613 by Gessel Gerrits. Perhaps one of the intermediate stages of these works was the “Description of the map”. The publication is provided with a geographical index.

KEYWORDS: geographical descriptions, maps, Russian state, Field, Razryadny prikaz.

ABSTRACT. The published document is a report on the first trip of A.S. Ermolov as the Minister of Agriculture and State Property to the regions of the Russian Empire. The route of this trip ran through the territories of regions that had relatively recently been annexed to the Russian Empire — along the Black Sea Caucasian coast, Transcaucasia, Transcaspian region and Turkestan Region. Of all these regions, Ermolov found the most difficult situation on the Black Sea coast. The note from a third person describes his impressions of the trip to the Caucasus, sets forth the problems of the region, indicates the probable causes that led to their occurrence, and outlines a program for the socio-economic development of the region. With this note, the Minister of Agriculture and State Property drew the attention of Nicholas II to the difficult socio-economic situation of the Black Sea coast and thereby initiated the preparation and implementation of a whole complex of administrative and socio-economic measures, during which the Black Sea Province was formed, the policy of settling the region with peasants from the central provinces of Russia was activated, the support for «high» agricultural culture was organized, the foundations of the resort business were laid, the transport infrastructure was modernized. The reforms carried out determined the main directions of socio-economic development of the region in the 20th — early 21st centuries. The publication of the source is preceded by an introductory article, which outlines the range of tasks assigned to the Ministry of Agriculture and State Property, as well as the results of the transformations carried out in the Caucasus on the initiative of A. S. Ermolov.

ABSTRACT. The paper presents the letter from Bolshevik Alexander Ignatievich Tarasov-Rodionov, who later became a famous Soviet writer, to the top party leadership describing his journey from red Petrograd to white Tyumen and back across the front line in July — August 1918 Excluded from the party on the eve of his trip to Tyumen, Alexander Tarasov-Rodionov decided to use his trip as a way to regain the trust of party leadership by collecting and providing the latter with valuable information about the state of white rear. To this end, during his journey, he was interested in the course of hostilities, the political and economic situation in the white-occupied areas of the Volga region, the Urals and Western Siberia. The source of the information received by Tarasov-Rodionov was his own observations, materials from anti-Bolshevik newspapers and conversations with fellow travelers. The result of his observations on his return from the trip, he outlined in a detailed letter to the Petrograd Bureau of the Central Committee of the RCP(b), written on August 27, 1918 This letter is a valuable historical source on the initial period of the Civil War in the East of Russia, containing interesting information about the White terror, about everyday life in the White rear, as well as about the tactics of combat operations at the front, collected by the author at the risk of his life during his journey. To visualize the route of Tarasov-Rodionov’s journey, a schematic map was prepared, published in the appendix to the paper.

ABSTRACT. The article gives a description of a special group of the cartographic sources of the First World War period — building materials maps. The methods for compiling maps and the source materials for them are revealed. The maps were elaborated by the “Commission on Raw and Chemical Materials” having been a part of the “Military Technical Assistance Committee”, in order to facilitate the material support of Russian troops on the Western Front with various natural materials that could be used for the fortification and construction works, as well as for laying the communication lines. In total, at least 11 sheets of maps of similar content are known to have been compiled. Using the sheet № 14 for the Vilna area as an example, the main features of the considered group of sources are revealed: structure, graphic design, main sections of the explanatory note, content and legend of the map itself. Various aspects of the significance of the source are indicated: it is not only a carrier of information about the natural resources of individual regions of the Russian Empire, but also a remarkable example of the preparation of operational cartographic information through the use and adaptation of the maps by I. A. Strel’bitsky. The maps reflect not only the extent of prospecting for the regions’ natural resources and their geological knowledge, but also contain valuable information on their exploitation; the same can be put down to the explanatory note, which, in addition to the specified information, contains data on water resources and their use. It should be noted that the maps on building materials practically have not been cited either in special studies on the history of the First World War, or in works devoted to the history of cartography.

ABSTRACT. The paper presents the so-called diary of a White officer — lieutenant colonel of the Siberian Cossack Nikolai Dionisievich Koltz. As our research has shown, it is more correct to call it the journal of military operations of the White partisan Cossack detachment. This historical source makes it possible to reconstruct a little-known episode of Russian Civil War in the region of Semirechye in Central Asia — two sieges of the Cossack village of Sarkand by the Reds in August 1918. During these sieges, the Cossacks of the Lepsinsky and Kopalsky counties of the Semirechensk region, who rebelled against the Soviet government, successfully repulsed several assaults of the village by the Red Guard detachments sent to pacify the uprising from the city of Verny (now Alma-Ata). A distinctive feature of this document is the accompaniment of the text by three croquis showing the course of military action during both sieges of the village.

ABSTRACT. The article gives a brief survey of a set of 14 thematic maps of the late 1920s–1940s representing the territory of the modern Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug — Yugra. This collection of electronic maps, which has been received by the Museum of Geology, Oil and Gas in 2020, is a unique cartographic source containing a valuable historical information on the region’s territory as regards of economy and nature management, land use and land tenure system, economic geography and geourbanistics, as well as geobotany, environmental history and other earth sciences and related disciplines. The maps are hand-made with the use of original design of the legend and the system of symbolic designation. These cartographic products are also of great scientific value, first of all, in connection to the historical geography. The preparation of the maps had been fulfilled at a time when there were no extensive topographic and geodesic works on the territory of Western Siberia, and expeditionary works and field surveys were not widespread. At that period, the region was characterized by the predominance of traditional economic forms of its indigenous inhabitants, as well as the development of agriculture, fishery and logging by special settlers. Today, these maps are of particular importance as they provide information for comparative analysis — since the beginning of the 1950s, the large-scale industrialization of the region began in connection with the discovery of the country’s largest hydrocarbon reserves and the start of exploitation of the West Siberian oil and gas province. This new period of the region’s development, which is lasting up to the present day, to a large extent transformed all previous forms of economic use of territory and radically changed the course of environmental history.

ABSTRACT. The publication introduces into scientific circulation the report of the Kuznetsk Coal and Metallurgical Joint-Stock Company, sent to the Supreme Council of the National Economy of the RSFSR on May 18, 1918, as well as the note attached to it on the activities of the Company on the territory of the Kuznetsk coal basin in 1912–1917. On the eve of the First World War, the company began to develop coal in the Altai mining district. By the beginning of the revolutionary events, the Society managed to outline the prospects for creating a huge complex of coal and metallurgical production, which included smelting of the iron ores of the Telbes mine on the coking coals of the Kolchuginsky and Kemerovo mines. The Company actively carried out the construction of railways to solve these problems. The Board of the Company did not stop its work even after the October Revolution. In the spring of 1918, after the German occupation of the Donetsk-Krivoy Rog coal and metallurgical region, which dominated Russia, the activities of the Company turned out to be in demand by the state. It was not nationalized and even received government loans in 1918 to continue its activities. In the conditions of the industrial crisis, the Soviet government considered projects for the reorganization of the territorial distribution of productive forces in the Asian part of Russia similar to the plans of the Society. By the end of the 1920s, these projects evolved into the Ural-Kuzbass project. Publishing document is of interest to specialists in the history of business, the Soviet and late imperial economy, and the civil war as well.

ABSTRACT. The article gives a description of the repositories of cartographic sources of the Perm region — archives, museums and libraries. The issues of acquisition of cartographic funds are studied, the sources are described by thematic composition, chronological framework, technique of execution. The history of the cartographic archive of Ivan Yakovlevich Krivoshchekov, a Ural geographer and cartographer of the late 19th — early 20th centuries, is revealed, which includes documents on the territory of the Perm province and, in a small amount, Russia. Transferred in 1918 to the library of the Perm State University, the archive was subsequently divided into three repositories and, unfortunately, has not been preserved in full. In 2017, the preserved maps and plans from I. Ya.Krivoshchekov’s archive was digitized and became publicly available on the website of the project “Preservation, study and popularization of the heritage of the Ural cartographers of the mid-18th — early 20th centuries”. The article focuses on the use of maps and plans in digital projects of Russian researchers aimed at empowering users to gain access to documents. The exhibition activity of museums, archives and libraries, including that in virtual space, is presented. The publishing activity of custodian institutions is a rare practice due to a number of reasons, primarily the lack of financial and human resources. The composition of the cartographic collections of large repositorie — the State Archives of the Perm Territory and the Perm Museum of Local Lore — is considered in more detail. The article defines the prospects for further introduction into scientific circulation of cartographic sources from the funds of institutions in the Perm region.

ABSTRACT. The article analyzes geographical maps used in the periodical press of the early 20th century Russian Empire to form the image of a particular space, which was prescribed to be a subject of political control or to be part of the national territory of Russia. The process of the formation of the mental map of the “native Russian land”, the so-called “Foreign Russia” — the territory of Eastern Galicia, Northern Bukovina and north-eastern counties of Hungary (“Ugrian Rus’”) took place through the nationalistic optics of Dmitry Vergun, one of the representatives of the Russian nationalist movement of the late 19th — early 20th centuries. In order to form the image of the ancestral territories belonging to the “Russian people”, Vergun used all available means, or, more precisely, “channels” of communication used in the corresponding historical epoch. This formation took place by means of the national narrative in oral and written form, including poetry, as well as by means of the visualization of the territories described with help of geographical maps. His first significant work, “The German Drang nach Osten in Numbers and Facts”, was published in Vienna in 1905. The brochure text was supplemented by a map, issued as an appendix to illustrate the content of this work. However, this map was not as widespread outside the brochure as another map made later by D. Vergun for the work “What is Galicia?”

KEYWORDS: early 20th century Russian nationalism, D. Vergun, “Foreign Russia”, Map of German Conquests, ethnographic map, mental maps
