Abstract

The article is about the role of Russian governors-general in the national outskirts of the Russian Empire. It attempts to substantiate arguments in favor of the thesis that they were given an important role in the development and implementation of the principles of outskirts politics, directions and methods of its implementation. According to the authors, this was facilitated both by the special status of the post itself in the vertical of power, and the specifics of the composition of executives, formed from among persons enjoying the special trust of the sovereign. Governor-generals prepared a number of drafts proposing their own assessment of the situation in the Empire’s outskirts and additional measures “to merge them with native Russia” in the 19th century. Sometimes these proposals went beyond the current policy, which is confirmed by the analysis of D. G. Bibikov and F. J. Mirkovich’s projects, which in the forties of the 19th century proposed to abandon attempts to attract representatives of the Polish elite to the imperial power and to concentrate efforts on supporting the Orthodox Church and protecting the rights of local peasantry. This approach is evaluated as a stage in the process of preparing a new course of imperial policy in the western provinces of the Empire after the January Uprising of 1863.
